Everything you need to know about PlacesToday — straight answers, no marketing speak.
PlacesToday uses AI to build a personalised day-by-day travel itinerary in minutes. You answer five questions — where you're going, who you're travelling with, what the occasion is, what kind of experience you want, and how many days you have. The AI then generates a complete itinerary with real, named places, Google Maps links, star ratings, and direct booking links for hotels and tours.
Yes — PlacesToday is completely free for travellers. There are no subscription fees, no paywalls and no hidden charges. The platform earns a small commission when users book hotels or tours through affiliate links, but this never affects which places are recommended. Every recommendation is based on merit, not payment.
PlacesToday currently covers 25 destinations including Portugal, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Morocco, Thailand, Japan, UAE, UK, Germany, Austria, Croatia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Netherlands, Singapore, Australia, Pakistan, Brazil, South Africa, Egypt, Mexico and the USA. New destinations are added regularly.
PlacesToday is occasion-first and AI-powered, not a listing directory. Instead of searching through thousands of reviews, you describe your specific situation — an anniversary, a family holiday, a solo adventure — and receive a complete personalised plan. There are no ads, no sponsored listings and no places that paid to appear. Every recommendation is generated based on your exact requirements.
Yes — occasion-based planning is the core of how PlacesToday works. The AI takes your occasion (anniversary, birthday, honeymoon, family holiday, solo trip) as a primary input and tailors every recommendation accordingly. An anniversary itinerary in Lisbon looks completely different from a family holiday in the same city — different restaurants, different timing, different experiences.
PlacesToday uses Google Places data — real ratings, review counts, and verified location information — combined with AI that understands context, occasion, and travel style. Places are selected based on their match to your specific inputs, not on payment or sponsorship. The platform cross-references real Google Places ratings and only surfaces currently-operating venues.
