How do you plan a trip to a new city or country?

Hi everyone, I'm Dmitrii, the maker of Porvi.

Before we launch on Monday, I'd love to hear how you plan a trip to a place you've never been to. What eats the most of your time: picking places, checking opening hours, figuring out how to get between them, or something else entirely?

And what have you tried — Google Maps lists, spreadsheets, ChatGPT, guidebooks, a friend who's been there? What worked and what didn't?

I'll read every answer. It directly shapes what Porvi handles next.
