Every planning tool, in one place

Four tools for the questions worth answering before you book: whether you can get in, what it will cost, what that is worth in your own money, and what to put in the bag.

The toolkit

Four questions, four answers

Each one runs in the browser and returns a number you can act on rather than a range you have to interpret.

How they work

Three things every tool here promises

  • No account, ever

    Nothing here asks for an email address. The tools run in your browser, your selections stay on your device, and closing the tab is all it takes to clear them.

  • Sourced, then dated

    Visa rules trace to the issuing government, budget figures to typical shoulder-season prices, and rates to a live provider. Every dataset carries the month it was last reviewed — currently August 2026.

  • Estimates labelled as estimates

    Where a number is a planning baseline rather than a quoted price, the result says so. A tool that hides its uncertainty is worse than no tool at all.

In development

What lands next

Both of these grow out of the city datasets, so they ship alongside destination coverage rather than ahead of it.

  • Seasonal Travel Calendar

    Building

    Month-by-month weather, crowd levels, and price swings for every city we cover, so you can see what shoulder season actually saves you.

  • Flight Time & Layover Planner

    Building

    Total door-to-door time for a route including layovers, so a cheaper itinerary can be judged against the hours it costs you.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these travel tools really free?

Yes. All four tools are free to use with no account, no email capture, and no usage limit. They run entirely in your browser, which means your passport choice, budget selections, and packing list never leave your device. The site is funded by advertising and affiliate links rather than by charging for the tools.

Which tool should I start with?

Start with the visa checker, because a refused or slow visa is the only thing on this list that can cancel a trip outright. Move to the budget calculator once you know the destination is open to your passport, use the currency converter to sanity-check quoted prices, and generate the packing list in the final week before departure when the weather forecast is actually reliable.

How current is the data behind the tools?

Every dataset carries a last-reviewed date, currently August 2026, and that date appears on the tool page itself rather than being buried in a policy page. Visa rules are checked against official government sources, budget figures reflect typical shoulder-season prices, and exchange rates use mid-market benchmarks. Travel data moves, so treat any result as a planning baseline and confirm anything you are about to pay for.

Do the tools work on a phone?

Yes. Every tool is built to work at phone width first, which matters most for the packing list, since that is the one you are most likely to open while standing over an open suitcase. Nothing needs installing and there is no app.

What tools are coming next?

A seasonal travel calendar showing month-by-month weather, crowd levels, and price swings per city, and a flight time and layover planner that totals door-to-door travel time for a route. Both expand as the underlying city datasets do, so they arrive alongside destination coverage rather than ahead of it.
