Hey, I’m planning a little trip to Europe in the first half of January. But can’t decide on the city.

Because it will be January I’m afraid that everything will be closed if it’s a touristy place. So I need a big city with lots to do. No winter sports for me so it better be warmish city. Not Rome (been, love) or Lisbon.

I was thinking about Madrid or Florence — big cities with lots to do. I would choose Florence because I love Italy but not sure about the weather

Palermo — never been in this area but afraid that locals will go on a break because it’s a low season

What would you choose?
