About multi-destination trips
What is a multi-destination trip?
A multi-destination trip is a journey where you have two or more stops during the same vacation. For example, you can combine a city break with a beach stay, visit several cities in one country, travel through multiple countries in a single trip or combine different types of accommodation.
Instead of staying in one place, you divide the trip into several stops. You choose how long you want to stay in each place and how you travel between them.
In short: you do not settle for one stop. You create your own route.
Can you book multiple destinations in the same trip?
Of course! We make it easy to book several destinations in the same trip. It can be different cities, regions or even multiple countries.
You decide how many stops you want to make and how long you stay at each destination. This makes it possible to tailor the trip entirely to your interests and timeframe.
How does booking multiple destinations in the same trip work?
When you book multiple destinations in one trip, you plan the whole itinerary at once. This may include several flights, multiple hotels and sometimes transport between destinations.
You choose transportation, the order of stops, number of nights in each place and the type of accommodation that suits you. Everything is combined into one seamless trip. Easy, right?
Plan your multi-destination trip
How do you plan a multi-destination trip without it becoming stressful?
Start by deciding how many days you want to travel and then choose a reasonable number of stops. Too many destinations or hotels in a short time can make the trip feel stressful.
How many days should you spend at each destination on a multi-destination trip?
This is entirely up to you and depends on the destination, the length of the trip and what you want to experience. Plan your trip based on what you want to see and do at each stop.
Sometimes one night is enough to see what you want, while other places deserve a longer stay.
A good tip is that if you are traveling to a destination that is far away and requires a long journey, it can be nice to spend a few days there to settle in before continuing to the next stop.

Practical questions
Can you book transfers between the airport and hotel when doing a multi-destination trip?
Yes, it is often possible to book transfers between the airport and hotel. At some destinations you can also arrange transport between accommodations.
This is a convenient option if you want to avoid arranging transportation on site and enjoy a smoother transition between stops. You can add transfers before completing your booking.
Does a multi-destination trip work with children?
Yes, traveling with children on a multi-destination trip works very well, especially if the pace is adapted to younger travelers. Stay at least a few nights in each place and combine activities with time to relax. A mix of city and beach is often a popular setup for families.
