Ready-made itineraries, planned day by day

Each of these is a complete trip: which places, in which order, on which day — with the travel times, the neighbourhoods worth sleeping in, and what most people get wrong. Read it here, or open it in Vacadu and make it yours: change a day, drop a stop, pick your own dates.

Iceland in 8 Days: The Ring Road

Iceland · 8 days

Iceland's Ring Road in eight days, anticlockwise from Reykjavík: south-coast waterfalls, the glacier lagoon at Jökulsárlón, the East Fjords, Dettifoss and Mývatn, whale watching from Húsavík, and the long western run home. Honest driving times, summer only.

Portugal in 8 Days: Lisbon to Porto

Portugal · 8 days

Eight days north by train: Belém and Alfama, a full day in Sintra, the Baroque Joanina Library in Coimbra on the way, then Porto's tiled centre, a Douro Valley rail day, and the port cellars of Gaia.

How these itineraries are made

Every itinerary here is written as a real plan, then checked stop by stop before it is published: walkable distances, opening seasons, honest travel times, and two to four stops a day rather than a checklist. Nothing on this page is sponsored or paid for.

Days are numbered, not dated, so a plan never goes stale — open it in the app and it lands on real dates you can change. Coordinates come from Wikidata, and photos from Wikimedia Commons under the licence credited beside each image.
