Festivals

3 of the 319 destinations in this atlas are tagged festivals. One of the narrowest tags in this atlas, which makes it a real filter — and a short list is a gap in the writing as much as a fact about Europe.

1% of the atlas · 3 of 50 countries · the narrowest of 17 tags. Every destination carrying the tag, drawn on one frame so the seventeen can be compared. Coastline from Natural Earth, public domain. The continent stops at 52°E on the right, where this atlas's map data ends, not at a coast.

A medieval spine running down from a castle on a plug of volcanic rock, with a Georgian grid alongside.

Western Europe1

Avignon

Seven popes ruled from here in the 14th century and left the largest gothic palace in the world behind them.

France · Provence & the Mediterranean

The Mediterranean1

Cádiz

Possibly the oldest continuously inhabited city in western Europe, on a spit, surrounded by water on three sides.

Spain · Andalusia

Why this page tells you its own tag is wide

A filter that matches most of a continent is not a filter, and hiding that makes the tool look better than it is. The share is counted from the dataset on every build; the sentence about it comes from one published rule — over 40% barely narrows anything, 15–40% narrows usefully, under 15% is genuinely narrow. The Journey Planner weights this same tag, so what you see here is what it will build from.
