A day-by-day plan

“I'm going to [city or country] for [number] days in [month], with [who you're traveling with]. We enjoy [things you like, e.g. food markets, museums, easy walks] and we don't like [things to avoid, e.g. long queues, early starts]. Make me a day-by-day plan that groups places that are close to each other, so we don't cross the city back and forth. Give each day a morning, an afternoon and an evening, and keep it relaxed.”

What to know before you land

“I'm traveling to [destination] from [your country] in [month]. Tell me what I should know before I arrive: how to get from the airport to the center, how people usually pay, tipping, local customs to respect, safety tips, and anything I should book or download before I go. Keep it short and practical.”

Where locals would eat

“I'll be staying in [neighborhood] in [city]. Suggest [number] places to eat that locals would recommend, not tourist traps. Mix cheap and mid-range, tell me what each one is known for, and which dishes I should try. We [any dietary needs, e.g. don't eat meat].”

How to plan a trip with AI

Think of the AI as a well-traveled friend who never gets tired of your questions. The more you tell it about you, the better the plan.

  1. Start with the basics. Where, how many days, which month, and who’s coming. A trip with teenagers looks very different from a trip with your partner.
  2. Say what you enjoy and what you don’t. “We love long lunches and hate early starts” changes the whole plan.
  3. Ask for a first plan. Use the “day-by-day plan” message above. Read it the way you’d read a friend’s suggestion.
  4. Fix it by talking. Reply with what you’d change. You don’t need to start over. “Day three is too busy” is enough.
  5. Add the practical bits. Once the plan feels right, ask for the packing list, what to know before you land and where to eat near your hotel.
  6. Check the important things. Before you rely on an opening time, a ticket rule or a price, look it up on the official website.

Tips for a better result

Give it your hotel’s area. Plans are much better when the AI knows where you start each morning.

Mention how you like to move. On foot, public transport, taxis or a rented car. It changes which places make sense on the same day.

Ask for a realistic pace. AI plans can be too full. If you like free time, say “leave two hours free every afternoon”.

Keep it all in one chat. Everything stays together, and the AI remembers what you already decided.

What AI won’t do for you

It can’t book flights or hotels for you, and it doesn’t know about a strike or a closed museum unless it can search the web. Some chat models in chatmodel can look things up online, which helps for recent information, but a quick check on the official site is still a good habit.

Not sure which model to pick? Start with the default, or read which model should I use. Going somewhere with a different language? The Translate tool helps with menus and signs.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI really plan a whole trip?

It can do most of the planning work: a daily plan, ideas for food and sights, a packing list. You still book the flights and hotels yourself, and you should check opening times before you go.

Is the information always up to date?

Not always. Opening hours, prices and rules change, and AI can sometimes get facts wrong. Treat the plan as a starting point and check anything important on the official website.

Which model should I use to plan a trip?

Any of the main chat models will do a good job. If you want very careful, well-organized plans, try Claude Opus 5 or OpenAI GPT 5.5. Our page on choosing a model can help.

Can I change the plan after it's made?

Yes, and that's the best part. Just reply in the same chat: “make day two lighter”, “swap the museum for something outdoors”, “we arrive at 6 pm on the first day”.
