Trip at a glance

Month-by-month budget

Each city's monthly cost is split across the nights you are there, then adjusted up or down for local high and low season (estimated from the climate). Accommodation-led estimate in USD, not a quote.

Your stops, month by month

Weather is the 2019-2023 average for the month you arrive, from Open-Meteo. Season, daylight, jet-lag and the flight in are computed for your dates.

About the Nomad Route Planner

Planning a multi-city trip as a digital nomad means juggling budget, visas, weather and jet lag all at once. This route planner puts them on one screen: add the cities you want to string together, set a start date and how long you will stay in each, and it works out the dates, a month-by-month budget, the weather you will actually get, a packing list, and a Schengen day tracker for the whole trip.

How it works

Each stop’s cost is our estimated monthly budget for that city, split across the exact nights you are there and nudged up or down for local high and low season. Weather comes from 2019–2023 climate normals (Open-Meteo) for the month you arrive. Flight legs use the great-circle distance between stops, and the jet-lag figure is the real UTC offset difference on your travel date, daylight saving included. The Schengen tracker counts nights in Schengen-area countries against the 90-days-in-any-180 rule.

Frequently asked questions

How is the trip budget worked out?

We take each city’s estimated monthly cost of living for one person, divide it into a nightly rate, and multiply by the nights you spend there in each calendar month. Peak-season months get a small uplift and low-season months a small discount, based on the local climate. It is a planning estimate in USD, not a quote.

Does it include flight prices?

No. Flights vary far too much by date and airline to estimate honestly. We show the distance, a rough flight time and an approximate CO2 figure for each leg so you can see the shape of the trip, but not a ticket price.

What is the Schengen 90/180 rule?

Most non-EU visitors may spend at most 90 days inside the Schengen area in any rolling 180-day window. The planner counts the nights your route spends in Schengen countries and warns you if a stretch would put you over the limit.

Is the weather a forecast?

No, it is a historical average for that month from five years of data, so it tells you what is typical rather than what the sky will do on a given day. Use it to avoid rainy seasons and pick comfortable months.

Can I save or share a route?

Yes. Your route and dates live in the page URL, so the "Copy share link" button gives you a link that reopens the exact same trip. You can also export it as an .ics calendar or print a one-page itinerary.
