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'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.
The Golden Route done properly: four days in Tokyo, an onsen night in Hakone under Mount Fuji, three days in Kyoto, the deer and Great Buddha of Nara, and Osaka's street food — all by train, with dawn starts that get you the famous places empty.
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.
