What is a weekend trip planner?
A weekend trip planner builds a two- or three-day itinerary, where the scarce resource is hours rather than money.
On a short trip the cost of a bad decision is much higher. One badly placed stop, one long crossing of the city, and you have spent a meaningful fraction of the entire trip getting somewhere rather than being there.
MonkeyTravel plans the days in geographic order with the travel time between stops made explicit, so a Saturday does not quietly turn into three hours of transit. Real places, cost estimates, three budget levels.
Two days is roughly eight usable hours each once you subtract sleep, meals and getting there. Planning against that number instead of a wishlist is the whole job.
It optimises the route, not your train times. If you arrive late on Friday, shorten day one yourself before you set off.
