One-day trips from Budapest

Fly out at dawn.
Sleep in your own bed.

Every month, Daytrip curates the flights that let you explore a European city in a single day. Each trip comes with a complete hour-by-hour itinerary, swappable programs, a smart checklist and perfectly timed reminders.

Free to download. One featured trip with a full itinerary is free every month.

How it works

Not a flight search engine, not a guidebook. Daytrip is a ready-made plan for getting the most out of a single day.

1
Pick a city

Hand-picked destinations every month, each with a dawn departure and a return before midnight. You book the ticket directly with the airline.

2
Take the plan with you

An hour-by-hour itinerary from arrival to the ride back to the airport. Not feeling a program? Swap it for a curated alternative in one tap.

3
Live it and log it

A checklist, timed reminders and calendar export keep you on track. Your trips build a travel log worth sharing.

What travels with you

Hour-by-hour itinerary

Arrival, sights, lunch, an evening highlight and the ride back. Every hour has a plan, nothing is set in stone.

Swappable programs

Curated alternatives for every time slot. A market instead of a museum, a beach instead of a walk. Your call.

Smart checklist

Passport, power bank, swimwear when there is a beach. Pre-flight chaos becomes a list of ticks.

Timed reminders

We nudge you the evening before, before departure and after you land back home.

Calendar and offline

Your whole day exports to your calendar in one tap, and saved itineraries work without internet.

Travel log

Your trips add up to stats and a yearly recap you can share as a post or story.
