Prompt

Plan a {{days}}-day trip to {{destination}} for {{travelers}}.

About the trip:
- Travel style: {{style}}
- Pace: {{pace}}
- Budget level: {{budget}}
- Interests: {{interests}}
- Constraints (mobility, kids, dietary, fixed bookings, dates or season): {{constraints}}

Instructions:
- Group each day's activities by neighborhood so I am not crossing the city repeatedly, and account for realistic travel time between stops.
- Give each day a morning, afternoon and evening block, with one flexible "if you have energy" option and one rainy-day swap.
- Mix a few well-known highlights with lesser-known local picks, and say why each is worth the time.
- Suggest where to eat at each meal in terms of style and neighborhood. Only name specific venues you are confident exist, and tell me to verify opening hours, prices and availability before booking.
- Do not invent specific prices, schedules or booking details. Use ranges and mark them as estimates.

Output format: a one-paragraph trip overview, then Day 1 to Day {{days}} with the three blocks, then a short list of "book ahead" items and a short "local tips" list (transport, etiquette, tipping, safety basics). Ask at most 3 clarifying questions first only if my inputs make a good plan impossible.

Example output

**Overview:** Four unhurried days in Lisbon, clustered by neighborhood to keep hills manageable and use trams or metro for the long hops. Expect mild, occasionally rainy late-October weather.

**Day 1: Alfama and Baixa**
- Morning: Wander Alfama's lanes down from the castle area; viewpoint stop at a miradouro for orientation.
- Afternoon: Lunch at a traditional tasca in Baixa (grilled fish or a prato do dia). Stroll the riverfront square.
- Evening: Easy dinner and a fado house if you want live music (reserve ahead).
- Energy left? Sunset at a viewpoint. Rainy swap: a tile museum.

**Day 2: Belem** (morning pastry stop, monastery, river walk) then **LX Factory** for browsing and coffee.

**Day 3: Day trip to Sintra** (go early; use a train and a local bus rather than driving).

**Day 4: Chiado, Bairro Alto, small museums** and a relaxed food-hall dinner.

**Book ahead:** Sintra palace tickets, any fado evening. Estimates only; verify hours and prices.
**Local tips:** Wear shoes with grip on polished stones, validate transit cards, and expect late dinners.

Notes

Neighborhood grouping and a built-in rainy-day swap are what separate a usable itinerary from a list of sights. Paste your fixed bookings into the constraints field so nothing collides.
