A simple planning template for city trips

Overwhelmed by planning city trips and worried you’ll miss the best parts?

The City Travel Blueprint shows you how to decide what’s actually worth your time in any city, without overplanning, opening endless tabs, or second-guessing every choice.

It’s a reusable planning template we use before every city trip to quickly narrow hundreds of options into a short, confident plan. That way, you can stop stressing about what to cut and start enjoying the trip.

Hey there,

We’re Viola & Sebastian

We’ve planned hundreds of city trips across 50+ countries, and for a long time, we kept running into the same problem: too many options, too little clarity, and the constant fear of missing the good stuff.

So we stopped planning trips from scratch every time and built the system you see here – one we still use before every city trip.

We’re a London-based couple and the creators of Away to the City, where we inspire over 100,000 readers each month to travel more meaningfully.

If you want to stop second-guessing your plans and feel confident about what you choose, this blueprint is built for exactly that.
