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.
