Slow travel means spending more time in fewer places. Instead of ticking off sights, you settle into a neighbourhood and let the days take shape.

Choose fewer bases

Pick two or three bases for a two-week trip and use day trips to explore the surrounding area.

Leave unplanned days

Keep at least one day in four completely free. Those days are often the most memorable.

Book flexible stays

Look for accommodation with free cancellation so you can extend a stay you love.
