Budget real route

Tell me your budget. I’ll build the trip.

Set what you can spend, how long you have, and what you love — we’ll pick the cities that fit, plan each day, and price your stay at the comfort level you choose.

How this works: daily costs use the same nightly-rate + daily-spend model as our cost calculator, scaled to each city’s real price level. “Auto-fit” picks the best lodging tier your budget affords — or lock a tier yourself (hostel luxury). We bias city choice toward what you love, route you by geography on high-speed rail, and keep 1 buffer day. Excludes international flights, visa and big shopping. Fine-tune with the cost calculator and transit planner.
