Schengen trips look easy on paper because border formalities are lighter, but planning still fails on timing links. A single tight transfer can force a missed check-in and ripple across later days.
Map Handoffs Between Days
Treat every city transition as a handoff with minimum viable buffer: checkout, station transfer, arrival settlement, and evening recovery. This closes the hidden gaps many itineraries ignore.
Align Transport and Accommodation
Hotel neighborhoods should match arrival mode. If you arrive late by train, choose districts with straightforward station access to reduce first-night risk.

Alfred's itinerary logic evaluates each link in sequence so your Schengen route behaves like a connected system, not disconnected destination cards.
