How to use these curated travel guides
Every guide below is a complete day-by-day travel plan with realistic pacing, neighborhood-level suggestions, and practical tips our editors maintain. Unlike a generic blog roundup, each itinerary is written for a specific trip length — a 5-day Greece plan is different from a 10-day Indonesia route — so you can compare routes before customizing with our free AI trip planner.
Read the overview and FAQ on each destination page, then scroll the day cards for hour-by-hour ideas. Email the full plan to yourself, pair it with our language cheat sheets for French, German, Spanish, or Portuguese, and read related articles in our travel guides section for rail passes, budgets, and regional deep dives.
European itineraries on this page cover Western and Mediterranean classics: France in a week (Paris to the Riviera), 5 days in Spain (Barcelona and Madrid), 7-day Italy (Rome, Florence, Venice), Germany castles and cities, Portugal from Lisbon to Porto, and a combined 14-day Spain & Portugal loop. Each guide notes train connections, museum booking windows, and what to cut if you have fewer days than the full route.
