Choose your priorities

Write down the two or three experiences you most want from the trip. Use those priorities to decide what belongs in your itinerary.

Group nearby activities

Keep each day focused on a manageable area. Include transport time, meals and breaks rather than counting only sightseeing hours.

Leave a flexible block

A free afternoon gives you space for an unexpected discovery or a change in weather. Keep one optional activity instead of booking every hour.

Check before booking

Confirm opening hours, reservation requirements and cancellation terms directly with the operator. Save the details for offline access.
