A few useful details before you go

Does this itinerary account for travel between stops?
Yes. Every adjacent stop has a planned walking or driving leg, so the time between places is part of the day rather than an afterthought.
What backs the place details?
The place details come from information we compile for trip planning and turn into practical guidance. Always confirm time-sensitive details such as opening hours and ticket rules before you go.
Is the whole itinerary free?
Yes — every day of it, with the stops, the timings and the travel between them. Paid planning is the separate, one-time purchase: it plans around your own dates, your hotel and your constraints rather than a general trip shape.
