4 days-Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Zurich or Stockholm??

I have 4 nights in November to spend in one of these spots. Which is best combination of scenery, restaurants, cultural, weather etc?

In November none of these cities will be very appealling. In Amsterdam the offer on indoors activities (museums etc) is probably the biggest.

hard to figure out what you really want to do by having such a broad question.

Weather is unlikely to be really good in any of them - chilly, damp, rainy etc. And you don;t get much scenery in a city.

I would do Stockholm since I think it has the most to see indoors as welll as a quite sheltered old town to explore. And it is in a beautiful setting if you get any days sunny and dry enough to enjoy it.

I agree with previous posters - the weather in november is a real downer in those cities. In Copenhagen and Stockholm the sun doesn't even make it high in the sky and it is dark early. Why not consider Paris? Plenty to do indoors and the city is beautiful at any time.

I agree with the others about the weather. If it were sunny I would say Stockholm, of the four that was the one I really loved best. But I was there on beautiful sunny July days and it was awesome. I remember thinking I might not like it so well in winter. Though I did see some photos of it covered in snow and it was quite pretty.

I was in Amsterdam during three days of absolute awful weather in March a few years ago. Rained really hard the whole time but I did still have a good time. There are quite a few good indoor activities, museums, etc. So since in November I don't see how you can plan for great weather so therefore I guess I'd go for Amsterdam.

Do also agree with the others that if it doesn't have to be one of those four ciites, I would pick Paris or London or Rome in November for four days.
