Here is what 3 days in Linz look like when the planner builds them: stops grouped by proximity so no day doubles back, one full day at a time. The same route can be built for any length, from two days to a week.
This is an example. The planner builds a different route for your dates, real opening hours, how you get around and your own preferences.
