Start with the details that matter
A weekend planner works best when it knows more than the destination. Friday evening and two full sightseeing days are very different trips. Put arrival and departure times in your brief so the first and last days stay realistic.
Try a brief like this
Lisbon for a three-day weekend. We arrive Friday at 6pm and leave Sunday at 5pm. We love neighbourhood cafés, viewpoints and local food. No car, moderate budget, and no early starts.Use this example and make it mine →
Opens the planner with these details. Edit them before creating your itinerary.
Give the weekend a centre of gravity
Choose the one thing you would regret missing: a gallery, a neighbourhood, a food market or a walk. Build one main outing around it each day. Nearby cafés and smaller stops can fill the gaps without turning every hour into an appointment.
Pick a base before packing the days
Ask for a place to stay near the part of the city you will use most, or near a useful transport connection. A cheaper room far from everything may cost you the part of the weekend you actually came for. Tell the planner if stairs, steep hills or long walks are a problem.
Leave something for another visit
A good short break has room for an interesting street or a second coffee. Use “Change this trip” to remove a stop, keep an afternoon free or make a rainy-day version. You can ask for fewer museums, more food, or an evening close to your hotel.
A better brief makes a better plan
| Think about | Include this | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Arrival evening | A short local walk and an easy meal | A timed attraction across town |
| Your full day | One main area, one must-see and room to wander | Repeated trips between distant neighbourhoods |
| Departure day | Something close to your base, plus a travel buffer | A long excursion before a flight |
Can I plan a weekend without choosing a destination?
Yes. Describe where you are travelling from, how long you can spend getting there and what you want from the break. Add your departure city in Preferences. Flight routes and prices still need checking before you book.
What your itinerary includes
A day-by-day plan, a route map, suggested places to stay and indicative costs in your selected currency. Stop photographs appear when a verified match is available. You can ask for changes after the plan is generated.
