Count every hotel move
A two-hour train is not just two hours once check-out, station time, onward travel and check-in are included.
Multi-stop planning
See all free tools See where a trip starts to feel rushed.
A route can fit on a calendar and still feel exhausting. Compare the pressure created by hotel changes, one-night stays, door-to-door transfer time, transfer-dominated days, committed days and luggage before you lock the itinerary.
Trip pace checker
Compare your hotel moves, one-night stays, door-to-door transfer time, transfer-dominated days, committed days and luggage with the pace you want. This is a rule-of-thumb stress test, not a score for how you should travel.
Count arrival and departure days if they are part of the itinerary.
Count each time you check out and sleep in a different base.
Count bases where you unpack and leave again after one night.
Add check-out, station or airport time, the trip itself, onward travel and check-in for every base change.
Use the longest door-to-door base change, not only the scheduled train or flight time.
Count days when check-out, the journey, onward travel and check-in consume most of the usable daytime.
Days with a major transfer, day trip or fixed-time booking.
The most committed days you have in a row without an open day.
Used only to put the amount of luggage in context.
Count suitcases or backpacks that make repeated transfers harder.

Keep it resilient
- Verify door-to-door transfer time, including check-out, station or airport time, and the trip to your next stay.
- Keep one optional activity that can be dropped without affecting a booking.

What this comparison does not know
It does not check live routes, actual door-to-door transfer times, ticket rules, weather, time zones, border formalities, accessibility needs or how tiring an activity will feel. Treat its ranges as prompts for reviewing a draft, not as travel advice or a guarantee.
A committed day means at least one major transfer, day trip or fixed-time booking. Count each day once even if it contains several of those things.
A transfer-dominated day is narrower: check-out, the journey, onward travel and check-in use most of the daytime. Count it even when the itinerary calls the arrival and departure periods partial days.
Review the draft
Reduce friction instead of shaving every activity.
The checker uses broad comparison ranges, not destination data. Its most useful result is the list of structural changes to test before you research the timetable in detail.
Testing a bridge stop between two cities? Compare the route with and without it. A useful bridge reduces the longest transfer and earns at least two nights instead of adding another rushed hotel change.
A one-night stay can touch two calendar dates while leaving only one useful sightseeing block. Count the day consumed by check-out, travel and check-in instead of treating both edges as free time.
Protect recovery time
A fixed booking can be easy on its own and still create a demanding stretch when it follows a transfer day.
Let bags change the plan
Repeated stairs, storage and hotel handoffs matter more when the group has several large bags.
