Each destination is rated based on six live signals: wave height, wind, swell, sun hours, cost vs. average, and total travel time. Perfect for budget travellers, especially 18–30 backpackers.

Everything you need for the trip you really want
While other apps ask you 'Where?', TravelScanning asks 'What do you want to do?' — and works backwards.
Multi-modal transport
Flights, high-speed trains, budget buses (like FlixBus, BlaBlaBus), and driving routes — including EV charging stops — compared side-by-side.
Real stays for every budget
Hostels (4/6/8/10-bed dorms, private rooms), apartments, camping, and hotels — with social areas, amenities, and age restrictions highlighted upfront.
Multi-city road trips
"3 days in Barcelona, 2 in Valencia, 2 in Madrid" — the planner creates the entire itinerary with hostels, budget transport, total cost, and a clear daily budget breakdown.
Smart match scoring
Every result receives a score from 0 to 100 that combines weather, activity conditions (wave height, snow depth, sun hours), travel time, total cost, and savings compared to the average.
Eco alternative, every time
Every flight result shows a CO₂-friendlier train or bus alternative when available — same destination, lower footprint, often only slightly slower.
