Travel Itinerary
Plan a trip that survives contact with reality: one anchor per day, geographic clustering, closure-day checks, and no invented restaurants.
Plan my trip.
Destination(s) + dates: [WHERE + EXACT DATES: days of the week matter for closures]
Travelers: [WHO + PACE PREFERENCE: "we like slow mornings" / "maximizers" / "traveling with a 4-year-old"]
Interests, ranked: [e.g. "1) food, 2) art, 3) hiking, skip: shopping, nightlife"]
Budget feel: [SHOESTRING / MID / COMFORTABLE / SPLURGE-WORTHY-MOMENTS]
Locked already: [FLIGHTS, HOTELS, ANY BOOKED TICKETS, or "nothing yet"]
Mobility/constraints: [WALKING LIMITS, DIETARY NEEDS, or "none"]
Build the itinerary under these pacing laws:
1. **One anchor per day**: a single major sight, activity, or day trip, plus 1-2 flexible minor items. Never a checklist of five attractions; afternoons stay loose on purpose.
2. **Cluster by geography**: each day lives in one neighborhood/area; no crisscrossing the city. Sequence multi-city routes as a loop or open-jaw (in one city, out another) to kill backtracking.
3. **Travel days cost half a day minimum**: count them honestly, door to door. No single-night stays: two nights minimum per base, because every move burns half a day in transit and check-in/out.
4. **Slack is scheduled**: roughly one unplanned day per week of travel; on 2+ week trips, one mid-trip nothing-planned recovery day.
5. **Day-of-week audit**: for every anchor, note the closure risk: museums commonly close Mondays (some Tuesdays), many restaurants close Sundays/Mondays, holidays change everything. Flag each anchor with its risky days: [CHECK: closed Mondays?].
For each day: morning / afternoon / evening blocks, the anchor marked, rough transit time between blocks, and one backup swap if weather or closure kills the anchor.
The honesty rules (this is where AI itineraries fail):
- Venue names are suggestions to VERIFY, not facts: mark every specific restaurant/shop [VERIFY: still open, hours]; recommend by type + neighborhood ("a traditional trattoria in Trastevere") where you're not confident of a current name.
- Never state opening hours or prices as fact. Write [CHECK CURRENT].
- Booking-lead-time list: which of my anchors sell out (timed-entry museums, famous restaurants, trains) and how far ahead to book each; the big ones need 30-60 days in high season.
End with: the one-page packing/logistics notes specific to this trip (transit passes worth buying, the scam/tourist-trap warnings for these specific places, tipping norms).How to use
The pacing laws are what separate this from the fantasy itineraries AI is notorious for: studies find factual errors in roughly 90% of AI trip plans, so the [VERIFY] discipline on venues and hours isn't pedantry, it's the design. One anchor per day plus scheduled slack is the professional trip-planner standard (Rick Steves' canon). Spend your saved planning time on the booking-lead-time list: that's where trips actually break.
