Helsinki, Thailand and Road Trips Stand Out in Fresh Wave of 82 New Itineraries

Published January 11, 2026

Travelers on Plantrip.io created 82 new itineraries in the past 24 hours, revealing a diverse mix of Nordic city breaks, Southeast Asian escapes, and sprawling road adventures. Short-haul European hops and multi-country ambitions sit alongside detailed domestic circuits, as planners lock in dates from late January through April.

Helsinki emerges as a clear focal point, with multiple city-sightseeing plans for late May and a standout seven-night vegetarian/vegan-focused trip. One detailed route links Delhi–Helsinki–Rome–Helsinki, pairing a one-night Finnish stop with a Caserta base in Italy before a Rome finale—highlighting interest in royal-era sites like the Royal Palace of Caserta, Vatican City tours, and leather shopping in the Italian capital. Gluten-free dining is a recurring request across Helsinki plans, signaling specific dietary planning among city travelers.

Thailand draws sustained attention, including duplicate plans for an April 11–24, 2026 getaway and a fresh seven-day Thailand request, while Canary Islands interest surfaces in two separate one-week Playa Paraiso (Tenerife South) itineraries—one wellness- and views-led, another geared to foodies and romantic walks with a touch of shopping. San Diego also appears twice from a Porta Vista Hotel base, pointing to coastal city breaks in April.

Road and rail journeys are strongly represented. Users are mapping 10-day relaxed drives across the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana and Utah—explicitly skipping Yellowstone and the Tetons—plus multiple South Carolina–to–Maine coastal drives. In India, planners request compact city circuits (Chandigarh–Patiala–Jalandhar–Amritsar), temple-focused routes (Ujjain Mahakal and Omkareshwar), and hill detours (Bangalore–Chikkamagaluru for Netravati Peak). Short escapes include Jibhi in Himachal, Murdeshwar beach-temple weekends, and Athirapally waterfall treks via Valparai.

Elsewhere, culture-heavy European ideas span Dublin-to-Scotland highlights, a 3–4 day Pattaya stay, Madrid for early March, and a 10-day Switzerland–Italy family plan centered on Jungfrau Region icons, Lucerne’s Chapel Bridge, and Rome’s ancient core. Long-haul ambitions pop up with Vietnam (10–15 days on a set budget), Egypt from India in March, Japan in August (Okinawa–Kyoto–Osaka–Tokyo), and a broad Brazil wishlist for December 2026. Closer to home, Netherlands family itineraries anchor at Corendon Urban Amsterdam Schiphol Airport Hotel with rest days baked in, while niche prompts range from underwater hotel curiosity to Banaras group travel and Konkan temple trails—underscoring how travelers are blending classic sights with highly specific interests.
