Plan the Route
Itineraries
Pick an itinerary by length
Start from the days you can take off: model itineraries with budget and transport already worked out — the order of stops and the reasoning included, ready to use.
Weekend – 3 days
One city, in depth — compressed routes that fit a Friday-night departure.
4–7 days
One country done properly, or two neighbors on one route.
8+ days & grand tours
Multi-country grand tours, where route planning pays off most.
