THE COUNTRY ATLASES
Considering a Second Home
or a Move Abroad?
A vacation shows you the highlights. An Atlas helps you picture the everyday. Explore the towns, then compare what matters to you:
- The setting, local culture and how to get there
- Healthcare, shops and life outside the tourist season
- Property costs, rental rules and local risks
Europe
Choose a colored country to explore its AtlasThen choose a town
See the Shortlisted Places
Town-level research helps you compare places with confidence and know what to check when you find a home.
How We Research Each Town ↗Before You Set Off.
Read All 22 Questions ↗Is This for a Vacation, a Second Home or a Move?
All three. For a vacation, the app puts city sights, self-guided visits, saved places and trip planning together. You can spend a week exploring Rome and Florence without ever opening a property chapter.
If a place starts to feel like somewhere you could live, the country Atlases help you look further: everyday services, getting around, property questions and local risks. On first use, choose Travel First, Travel + Atlas or Atlas First. Change it in Settings whenever your plans change. Both sides stay easy to reach.
How Many Self-Guided Visits Are Included, and Where?
The current app has 18 self-guided visits across all 14 countries. Each one links six or seven stops, with written notes, a suggested order, directions and saved progress.
- Italy: Ancient Rome, Florence, Venice and a separate Vatican visit.
- United Kingdom: Westminster to Bloomsbury, and the City of London with the South Bank.
- Elsewhere in Europe: Paris, Lisbon’s Belém district, Madrid, Athens, Berlin and Amsterdam.
- Beyond Europe: Toronto, Sydney, Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok and Mexico City.
These are hand-picked city visits inside a much larger place catalog. You can still explore other cities and plan trips there wherever the catalog has suitable places. See all 18 self-guided visits →
What Can I Preview Before Buying an Atlas?
Plenty. On this website you can:
- Explore every country and its shortlisted towns
- See the photography and read each town’s introduction
- Get a feel for the setting and the questions the research covers
- Read sample pages: start with the Dossiers page, then open a country overview
The full town chapters and country research are in the paid Atlas. Buy the country PDF and keep it forever, or read the collection inside the app while your Atlas Member subscription is active. The app’s town summaries are a great starting point, not the complete dossier. See the Atlases and Samples →
