Planning a round trip: how do I spread out stops and nights?
The short answer
Plan a round trip around its length: at least two nights per stop, preferably three, otherwise you spend more time packing than arriving. Order the stops so that journeys stay short and you don’t double back, and count travel days as half holiday days. The wemake.holiday AI travel route suggests several ready-made routes with stops, nights, map and hotels.

Rules of thumb for a relaxed route
- At least two nights per stop, three to four at highlights
- Travel times between stops ideally under four hours
- Plan as a line or a loop, avoid doubling back
- End with a quiet stop or close to the departure airport
- One buffer day per week for weather and spontaneous plans
Step by step to your route
- 1 Set the length and time of your trip.
- 2 Collect must-sees and look at them on the map.
- 3 Decide on stops and spread out the nights.
- 4 Choose transport: rental car, train, domestic flight, ferry.
- 5 Search hotels for each stop – with dates based on the nights.
- 6 Check entry requirements, budget and packing list.
With AI in minutes instead of evenings
Describe the trip in one sentence, such as “Two weeks in Thailand with islands and culture, in February”. The AI travel route first assesses whether it has understood your wish and then puts together six different routes at once – with stops, photos, map and three hotel suggestions per stop. Your own wishes (“more beach, train only”) produce a further alternative.

More questions
How many routes does the AI suggest?
Six at once on the first search; via the alternative search more are added, up to twelve per wish.
Can I add the route to my trip planner?
Yes. “Add to trip planner” creates the stops and takes over the hotel costs as the planned accommodation budget.
