Sightseeing Time
Budget a day for attractions plus transit between them.
About Sightseeing Time
Each attraction gets its visit time and every hop between them adds a walking interval, summed across the day. Underestimating transit between sights is how vacation days fall apart, so this sets a realistic day plan.
