Our story

Travel planning,
reinvented

CityPlanAI was born from a simple frustration: planning a great trip takes dozens of browser tabs, hours of research, and still leaves you wondering if you've missed the best parts. CityPlanAI is our attempt to make that simpler.

Intelligent travel for curious minds

CityPlanAI combines AI-powered itinerary generation with real-time access to thousands of bookable experiences through our affiliate partnership with Tiqets, one of Europe's leading ticketing platforms.

Our AI can plan a trip to any city worldwide — and 52 in-depth city guides, written and checked by hand, cover the most-visited destinations. The generator works everywhere; the curated guides go deeper.

We believe the best trips aren't the most expensive — they're the best planned. Knowing to visit the Colosseum at opening time rather than at midday, or that the Sistine Chapel has a magical early-bird slot, makes all the difference.

You choose a city, the length of your stay, a travel style, who you are travelling with and your interests; the AI builds a day-by-day itinerary in that order. Sights with tickets link to a bookable option where one exists; meals, walks and viewpoints are simply marked free or pay on site.

Ticketing Partners

CityPlanAI is an affiliate partner of Tiqets and of Viator, giving our users access to hundreds of thousands of bookable experiences worldwide — timed-entry tickets for major monuments, plus guided tours, day trips and activities.

Prices and availability come from their partner APIs. When you book, you buy directly from Tiqets or Viator: payment, confirmation, tickets and customer service are handled by them, not by CityPlanAI.

  • Timed-entry tickets where available

Our Values

🧠
Intelligence over algorithms

Our AI doesn't just list attractions — it understands flow, timing, energy levels and personal taste to build itineraries that feel handcrafted.

🤝
Transparency

We earn affiliate commissions when you book through us. It does not change what we recommend: free sights, walks and meals sit in the same plans as paid tickets.

🌍
Depth and reach

52 city guides researched and checked by hand — not 500 thin pages — while our AI planner covers any other city on demand.

How the AI works

When you request an itinerary, our AI takes into account your travel dates and available days, your budget per person, your group composition (solo, couple, family, group) and your stated interests.

It then sequences activities intelligently — placing early-morning visits where queues are shortest, grouping geographically proximate attractions, balancing intense cultural visits with relaxed meals and discovery time.

Every activity in the generated itinerary is cross-referenced against our partners’ catalogues in real time, so you see live availability and accurate pricing — not approximations.

The result is an itinerary that reads like it was built by a local expert who also knows which tickets to book ahead.

Our technology is powered by large language models for natural language itinerary generation, combined with structured data from the Tiqets Partner API for real booking integration.

Destination content is reviewed and updated regularly, and new guides are added over time.

An independent, one-person site

CityPlanAI.guide is an independent site run by its founder, Julien — not a faceless aggregator. I research, write and update the 52 city guides and the ticket guides myself, checking ticket rules and entry systems against each attraction’s official website.

AI is a tool here, not the author. The trip planner uses AI to build day-by-day itineraries, and I use AI tools to help draft and organise text — but every published guide is read, corrected and checked by me before it goes live, and the judgement calls (which ticket is worth it, what to skip, which entrance to use) are mine.

We fund the site through affiliate commissions on the experiences you book via Tiqets. We only ever recommend experiences we'd book ourselves, and our commission never changes the price you pay.

Editorial standards

How we keep our guides trustworthy:

  • Every guide is checked and edited by a person before it is published
  • Pricing and availability pulled live from our booking partners — no stale numbers
  • No fabricated reviews, ratings or fake scarcity
  • Affiliate relationship disclosed on every page
  • Guides updated as cities, prices and openings change
