What you get
A day-by-day route
Not one long line on a map — each day is its own walkable loop of sights, food, and viewpoints in one part of town.
Real, curated places
Every stop is a real place with verified coordinates and a short description, from a hand-maintained catalog of 50 cities — not AI-invented.
Neighborhood grouping
Stops are clustered by proximity, so distance is spent on sights instead of criss-crossing the city.
Edit, share, export
Reorder or remove stops, share the route as a link, or export a self-contained offline HTML page with the map.
The right tool for the job
"Walking route planner" means three different things. Here's where each tool fits:
| Tool type | Built for | You get |
|---|---|---|
| CityWalk Plan | Sightseeing trips — deciding which places, what order, which day | A day-by-day city itinerary of curated places on a map |
| Route-drawing apps (Footpath, Plotaroute, OnTheGoMap) | Running, hiking, training — measuring a line you draw yourself | A distance-measured GPX track |
| Google / Apple Maps | Navigation once you already know the destination | Turn-by-turn directions from A to B |

How to plan a walking route
- Open the planner and pick a city — any of 50 worldwide — and your number of days (1–5).
- Set a pace: easy, balanced, or packed. Add must-see places if you have any.
- Generate. You'll get a day-by-day walking route, each day grouped in one neighborhood, with a short description per stop.
- Fine-tune it — reorder, remove, add — then share the link or export the offline copy.
Start from a sample route

FAQ
Is the walking route planner free?
Yes — free, with no sign-up and no account. The site is supported by optional affiliate booking links.
How is it different from Google Maps?
Google Maps navigates you from A to B once you know where you're going. CityWalk Plan answers the question before that: which places are worth it, in what order, on which day — a full sightseeing route grouped by neighborhood.
Can I draw my own route or export GPX?
No — this isn't a route-drawing tool for running or hiking. It builds sightseeing itineraries from a catalog of real places; the export is an offline HTML page with the map and stops, not a GPX track.
How far will I walk per day?
Usually 6–10 km for a comfortable sightseeing day, depending on your pace setting. Easy keeps days light; packed fits more in.
Does it work offline?
Yes — export any route as a single offline HTML file and open it on any device, no connection needed.
Planning more than one city?
Use the multi-city trip planner to split your days across two or three cities, each with its own walking route.
