Routes that show how a trip actually works
Each plan gives you a sequence, a realistic duration, transport options and the planning notes that usually get discovered the hard way. Adapt them, don't follow them blindly.

Open trip planHow to adapt any of these routes
Start with your fixed points: arrival time, departure time and anything already booked. Those are the walls of the trip. Everything else is furniture and can be moved.
Then subtract travel days. A 7 day trip with two intercity moves is really about five and a half usable days. People consistently forget this and end up with an itinerary that only works if nothing goes wrong.
Finally, cut one stop. Almost every draft itinerary improves when you remove a city and give those nights to the places that remain. If you cannot decide which to cut, cut the one that is furthest from your arrival airport.
A simple rule of thumb
- 2 nights = one neighbourhood
- 3 nights = one city, lightly
- 5 nights = one city properly, or two quickly
- 7 nights = two cities with room to breathe
- 10+ nights = three bases maximum
