TWO NIGHTS / YOUR OWN BOOKINGS ✳
Can I require a detailed multi-stop plan?+
Yes. In Your part of Europe, turn on Detailed field notes only. Matching is then limited to cities with detailed walks; the current count is shown in the planner and catalogue. Country, region, distance, travel approach and exclusions still apply. If none fits, you receive an error and can adjust the filters; we do not silently substitute a starter plan. This setting is kept with a saved private plan.
What exactly do I receive?+
A two-night weekend itinerary matched to your selected departure city, style and pace, with a destination reveal, day-by-day suggestions, budget allocations, a packing list and official sources. You can download it or save a private link for 30 days. A booking-cost worksheet lets you enter costs you found, compare them with your budget and split entered costs equally. Worksheet entries are not saved with the plan link. Download an editable JSON backup and restore it on the same trip, budget, group and currency; import previews the total before replacing entries. CSV is for spreadsheets and cannot be restored here. Files are read locally and not uploaded.
Is this a booked holiday?+
No. This is a digital planning service. You arrange and pay for transport, accommodation, meals and activities directly with providers. Nothing is reserved and we do not charge for those services.
How much does it cost?+
The Explorer preview is currently free. A paid complete-plan service is in development. Its scope and price have not been announced, and purchasing is not enabled. You will not be asked for card details or charged in this preview. Your travel spending budget is separate.
Can I choose places I do not want to visit?+
Yes. Exclude cities in the planner. Your departure city is always excluded. If every possible city is excluded, we ask you to allow one instead of overriding your choice.
Does this cover all of Europe?+
The catalogue spans European countries, microstates, Cyprus and the Caucasus. It does not cover every town. Browse the European destinations page for exact coverage and any paused routes. Choose a listed departure hub or search 6,300+ additional city locations. Searched locations use Flights allowed matching only; they do not add new destinations.
