Where to Sleep

Hotels & Accommodation

Booking.com

My default hotel search for Europe because the inventory is broad, the map filters are useful, and free-cancellation options make it easier to lock in a sensible base early.

Getting Around

Rail & Ground Transport

Omio

Best as a route sanity check across trains and buses, especially when you are crossing borders and want to see whether the trip is simple or secretly annoying.

Things to Do

Tours & Activities

GetYourGuide

Best for timed-entry tickets, day trips, and experiences where cancellation flexibility matters. I compare it against the official site before booking anything expensive.

Viator

Useful as a second comparison point for tours, especially in larger cities where operator coverage and review depth can vary between platforms.
