It seems about right, I've done the trip from Barcelona to Madrid, it took six hours.

Now let’s see one by train from those same cities.
Istanbul is not a capital city. Capital of Turkey is Ankara. Obligatory: Erdogan is a fucking twat
btw, Constantinople¹ is also not the capital. Why they changed it, though, I can't say.
¹ nople
Its nobodies business but the Turks.
By the way: This "how far can I get from a specific point within time xy?" is called isochrones.
Very interesting when you move somewhere and want to know what's in range.
What's with this Mercator projection? GB is giant.
No german city pictured because infinite -10% is still infinite
The suggested speed on the Autobahn is still 130 km/h. If you're going significantly faster and cause an accident, your insurance will probably consider you at fault and only cover what they're (edit: legally) obligated to.
Why would any insurance company pay more than they are obligated to?
Much of the Autobahn does have limits though :)
At least they got it correct with the Vatican City being the capital of Italy
Do a lot of Europeans stay 10% under the speed limit? Because that sure as hell ain't the case in America.
I think its to calculate with the likely stops you are going to take during the journey
In my experience, travelling ~90km/h most of the time but adhering to local limits, stop signs, etc. drags you down to the average ~60km/h speed all throughout the route.
As for going 120km/h on the highway, you still effectively get around 80-100km/h average speed.
10% down is extremely optimistic
Now do public transport (not @ OP, just stating a desire for a railway+bus+foot alternative
