72hrs plans weekend trips for students studying abroad in Europe. You've got a Friday-to-Sunday window, a budget that isn't huge, and a whole continent an hour's flight away. 72hrs turns that into an actual plan. HOW IT WORKS Answer five quick questions covering when's the earliest you can fly out, when's the latest you can be back, what you can spend, and the kind of weekend you're after. 72hrs comes back with the cities you can genuinely reach in that window from your own airports — sorted by what the weekend really costs, not just the fare. Pick one, and you get a full itinerary built around the flight times: where to be each hour, what it costs, and how to get between stops. Already booked something? Tell 72hrs when you land and when you fly home and it plans around that instead. WHAT THE WEEKEND ACTUALLY COSTS • Named flights with real prices for your dates, checked when you choose a city • A typical dorm-bed rate for that city on those nights • Food, activities and the small stuff, budgeted for how expensive the city really is • Every number labelled as live or an estimate, so you always know which is which 72hrs doesn't sell flights or beds. When you're ready, it links you straight into a live search for your exact route and dates. YOUR WEEKEND, HOUR BY HOUR • A time grid for each day, with every stop sized to how long it takes • Stops numbered on a map in the order you'll visit them, so you can skip one and still make the next • Open any stop in your preferred map app. • Save trips to your profile and share them as a link — friends can see the plan, RSVP and leave comments with no app and no account MY CITY 72hrs also keeps up with the city you live in: what's on this week, spots that are trending with students, standing deals and student nights, and any strikes or transit closures that could wreck your Friday. CITY GUIDES Guides for 79 cities across 36 countries — neighbourhoods, where to eat and drink, nightlife, what to see, and the practical stuff like getting from the airport.
