Planning a trip step by step
- Set dates, a rough budget and who is travelling.
- Check passport validity, visa or entry requirements and any health advice for the destination.
- Book transport and accommodation, and record confirmation numbers in the bookings summary.
- Sketch the itinerary: one or two main activities per day, with rest time.
- Pre-book popular attractions that sell out.
- Estimate the budget by category and set a daily spending allowance.
- Download offline maps and copies of documents.
- Pack from the checklist a few days ahead.
Building a realistic itinerary
- Group sights by neighbourhood to reduce travel time.
- Plan the first day lightly to recover from travel.
- Check opening days and hours — many museums close one day a week.
- Leave a free half-day every few days for rest or spontaneous discoveries.
- Note transport between stops and how long it takes.
- Keep a rainy-day alternative for outdoor plans.
Travel budget categories

The Excel budget converts each amount from the local currency using the exchange rate you enter, so you can compare planned and actual spending in your home currency.
Worked example: 7 days in Lisbon
A couple plans a week in Lisbon. The overview page holds flight times, the apartment address and the host’s phone number. The itinerary groups Alfama and the castle on day 2, Belém on day 3, a day trip to Sintra on day 4 (pre-booked palace tickets) and a free day on day 6. Their budget of €1,900 splits into accommodation, food, transport, activities and a 10% contingency; each evening they enter spending in euros and the sheet converts it to dollars at the rate they set.
Keeping documents safe
Store digital copies of your passport, insurance, bookings and prescriptions in a secure cloud folder or password manager, and carry a paper copy separately from the originals. Note your bank’s international phone number in case a card is blocked. The trip overview page has space for emergency contacts, insurance details and the local emergency number.
Packing tips
- Check the weather forecast and pack layers.
- Roll clothes and use packing cubes.
- Keep medications, chargers, documents and a change of clothes in your carry-on.
- Check airline baggage limits for size and weight.
- Leave space for souvenirs, or pack a foldable bag.
