How many days do you need in a city?
Count usable sightseeing time before deciding how many nights to book.
Count full days first
Write down arrival, check-in and departure times. Allow for airport or station transfers and a slower first day after a long journey. A three-night stay does not automatically provide three full days for sightseeing.
Match days to priorities
List your essential activities and group them by area. Allocate a realistic visit and travel duration to each, then leave some unplanned time. Add a day or cut stops if your plan depends on every connection working perfectly.
