Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm currently looking at Moscow in May/June I've also got a bundle of Intercontinental Hotel Points so I can stay in Moscow for free.
did not see your reply before posting my comment... so please disregard it as the weather comment is not relevant.

I would still suggest Venice or Tuscany as an alternative

When are you planning to travel? If soon, then I would argue that most of the location you have in your list are risky from a weather point of view and in this period(except the last one). So unless you can choose to travel at a short notice (after checking the weather forecast), I would go South, Spain / Italy?

I would also vote for Venice (although Venice too can be too North in this period). How about Tuscany (Florence, Siena, etc), Rome, Barcelona....

Last year I bought a lens face to face, the buyer had prepared a short document with description of the lens and its status, his confirmation that he would take it back if I was not satisfied, and my confirmation of receipt ot the lens, we both signed it and we were both left with a copy.

Wouldn't that protect you in case you were paid by paypal and collection was in person?

Consider that at this time of the year there are a lot of low light situations up North.... But then you have a tripod.

For sale my Jupiter 9 85mm f2 M42 lens. This is a very good copy of this highly regarded Russian lens, in great conditions. Mechanics work very well and glass is in very good shape, with no scratches or fungus. A few specs of dust inside, but they do not impact IQ.

Here is a link to a review of the lens.

The lens comes with front and back caps, the original front cap is a bit loose, but otherwise no issues that I know of.

I am looking for 100 pounds including shipment to UK/EU, payment by paypal, with buyer paying fees, if any.

Please note that the lens has a M42 mount, therefore requires an adapter on K-mount cameras.

I am selling it as I have multiple lenses around this length and I find I am not using enough.

A few pictures of the lens:
