Daylight
How much daylight each month brings
When the sun rises and sets, on official local time with daylight saving already applied. It decides how much fits in a day, and it changes far more than people expect.
Trip planning
Trip planning: how many hours you will have in each destination
Two things decide a short trip and no guide answers them for you: how much daylight there is on the dates you are looking at, and how much free time your outbound and return flights really leave you. Both are here, destination by destination, worked out for each city and its time zone.
Free, no sign-up. 124 destinations, each with its own time calculator.

What each page answers
Three answers before you build the itinerary
- Free time
How much time your flights leave you
With your arrival, your departure and your breaks, the free hours really left each day once the transfers are set aside.
- Areas
Where to stay
Where the guide compares neighbourhoods, the areas ranked by what matters to you on this trip.
Why daylight changes the plan
A December day in a northern European city has about half the daylight of a June day, and that decides how many outdoor visits fit in before dark. Near the equator it works the other way round: daylight barely changes all year, and what decides the day is rain or heat.
The first and last days are not full days
A four-day trip with an afternoon arrival and a midday departure leaves far less than four days to explore. Each destination's calculator sets aside the airport transfer, the time to drop your bags and your breaks, and tells you how many hours are really left, day by day.
What these pages do not do
They do not build the itinerary or tell you what to see at each hour: the app does that, on your phone, with real places and the forecast for your dates. What is here is what is worth knowing first: how much time you will have and where it makes sense to stay.
