The Barcelona trip planner

You answer a few questions: how many days, what you feel like doing, your budget, and who you are travelling with. The planner builds a day-by-day itinerary from our recommended, verified places, orders them by geographic proximity to save time, and slots in food and experience picks. It is instant and free.

Yes. Every place is picked one by one and checked before it enters the dataset, on reputation, real experience and a high rating, not pulled from a ready-made list. Each place has a link to its Google reviews and a link to the full guide on the site, so you can dig deeper and navigate.

Absolutely. Each itinerary gets a unique address based on your choices, so you can copy the link, bookmark it or send it to friends. You can also leave an email and get the itinerary straight to your inbox.

The planner is built for trips of 3 to 10 days. Based on the number of days it decides how much to combine: a short trip focuses on the Old City and Eixample, a mid-length trip adds Gracia and Montjuic, and a longer trip lays out Barceloneta, the uptown sights and a day trip to Montserrat and the Costa Brava.

A search or a chat hands you a list and leaves the hard part with you: checking whether the place still exists, what its hours are on the day you are actually there, and how five stops fit into one day without crossing the city twice. Here the itinerary is built on a database of more than 500 places that were chosen one by one and checked before they went in, on reputation, real experience and a high rating, and the engine orders them by walking distance and by each place's opening hours on the exact day of your trip. Every stop carries its rating, a link to its Google reviews and a link to the full guide on this site.

Because it is not a lucky draw. The same answers give you the same itinerary every time, opening hours are pulled from Google and refreshed, and a place that cannot be visited that day at any hour drops out of the plan instead of sending you to a locked door. What we leave out matters just as much: no invented entry fees, and prices in the local currency only. Where a fact depends on an official source, such as entry rules or the hours of a single site, we say to check it there.

That is exactly what it defaults to. A short trip stays in one city instead of scattering you, and the city picker only offers cities we can genuinely build an itinerary in, so you never pick one destination and quietly get another. Every stop links to a full guide, so there is somewhere to read up before you go.

Building the itinerary is free and instant, with nothing to sign up for. The first 2 days open in full, so you can see exactly what you get before deciding. The complete itinerary, for a trip of any length, is a single payment with no subscription and no renewal, so access does not expire.

Yes, and in two separate ways. Ratings, review counts and opening hours are refreshed from Google on a rotation, so what you see is not a snapshot from the day the page was written. And the opening hours on each place are worked out in your browser against the local time at the destination, which is why a place can say it closes at 20:00 today and show different hours tomorrow. New guides go up every week.
