Every trip, planned day by day.

You know the kind of trip. Not the place.

Every guide is tagged by what it is genuinely good for — not by what the city is famous for. Lisbon is tagged for food and nightlife but not for museums; Vienna is the other way round. The tags come from what actually ends up in the itinerary, so a city only carries one if the guide really spends time on it.

Pick the shape of the trip and the list narrows to the cities that deliver it. Each pill opens the guides list with that filter already applied.

Your dates are fixed. The destination isn't.

Most trips are decided by the fortnight you can actually take off, not by the place. So work it the other way round: start from the month you're free, and let the dates pick the destination.

Browse by Climate matches the weather you want against the month you have and returns what fits. When to Go does it per destination — the best window for each city, and the months worth avoiding.

You know how many days you've got.

Length decides which cities are worth it at all. Three days suits one dense city and not a country; a week opens up loops and day trips; ten days is a different trip entirely.

Every guide here is written to a length rather than padded to fill one — a 3-day Lisbon is a genuinely different plan from a 6-day Lisbon, not the same plan stretched. Pick your number and you only see guides built for it.

You already know the part of the world.

Sometimes the decision is made before the city is — you have miles to Asia, family in Europe, or a fortnight and a wish to go somewhere far. Start from the region and let the shortlist come to you.

You'd rather not be lost in translation.

Travelling somewhere you can read the menu and ask for directions changes the trip — especially with kids, on a first trip abroad, or anywhere you'll be driving.

Every guide records the languages actually spoken at the destination, not just the official one. Pick yours and see everywhere you'd get by comfortably.

Everything about the flight that isn't the price.

Which airline actually flies the route, how long a connection really needs at that specific airport, what the bag will cost, and where the lounge is once you're through security. The route maps are the full published networks for the three US carriers — so you can see whether a nonstop exists before you start pricing.

On a lot of European routes, the train just wins.

Counted properly — the trip out to the airport, security, the wait, and the journey back into the city at the other end — rail beats flying on more city pairs than people expect. And on a few routes the journey is the reason to go rather than the cost of getting there.

And the rest of it.

Money, SIM cards, tipping, transit cards, car hire, booking windows — the practical questions that belong to no single part of a trip. They're gathered on one page rather than scattered through the nav.
