THE CAR-FREE SCORE

One number that proves your whole trip works.

Route planners check how you arrive. We check how you live there — every attraction, every last bus, every staircase with a suitcase. Fact, estimate and recommendation, clearly separated and always dated.

Last-Mile Gap Detector flags the viewpoint you can't reach without a taxi — before you book.
Best Base Finder picks the neighborhood that connects best to everything you planned.
Luggage Difficulty Score measures stairs, transfers and long walks before you drag a suitcase up them.

BUILT FOR THE WHOLE STAY

Not a route planner. A trip-feasibility engine.

Everything below runs on our own transport database — schedules, seasonal connections, accessibility and real usage — not on recycled guidebook text.

Car-Free Score One number for destination, neighborhood and itinerary — for the whole stay, not just the arrival.
Trip Feasibility Engine Checks every leg of your itinerary against real timetables — not just the first train.
Last-Mile Gap Detector Flags attractions you can't reach without a taxi, before you book anything.
Best Base Finder Picks the town or neighborhood that connects best to everything on your list.
Luggage Difficulty Score Stairs, transfers and long walks — measured before you drag a suitcase up them.
Last Service Alerts Never miss the last bus, train or ferry back. Seasonal schedules included.
Regional Pass Optimizer Tells you when a rail or transit pass actually pays off — and when it doesn't.
Offline Itinerary Tickets, timetables and a plan B in your pocket — even with no signal.
