How a trip idea works
Each trip idea is a short itinerary: a few places a day that sit close together, in the order that saves walking, with an estimate of the time between stops. Open one to see it on a map and to see the best months to go, worked out from the average weather of the last five years. Then plan your own dates in the Archie app.
