FAQ
What is Stay48?
Stay48 creates curated 48-hour itineraries for travelers who want to make the most of a short stay--whether the trip is for work, leisure, or a mix of both. Each guide focuses on how a place actually feels, not just what appears on a checklist.
Who is Stay48 for?
Stay48 is for travelers who:
- Have limited time and want to use it well
- Care about neighborhoods, food, drink, and local character
- Prefer thoughtful curation over exhaustive lists
- Want structure without rigidity
If you've ever arrived somewhere and wondered where to start, Stay48 is built for you.
Who is Stay48 not for?
Stay48 may not be a fit if you:
- Want luxury-only or budget-only travel guidance
- Need a minute-by-minute schedule
- Are trying to see every major attraction in two days
- Travel primarily for social media content
Different trips call for different tools.
Are Stay48 itineraries walkable?
Mostly, yes.
Stay48 itineraries are designed around walkable neighborhoods and logical flow. When something truly worthwhile requires a short drive--such as a destination restaurant outside the city center--that guidance is included as well.
Do the guides try to cover everything?
No.
Stay48 itineraries are curated, not comprehensive. The goal is to help travelers understand a place during a short stay, not overwhelm them with options.
Are the guides for first-time visitors or repeat travelers?
Both.
First-time visitors get a confident starting point without relying on tourist traps. Repeat visitors get deeper neighborhood-level recommendations and updated context.
How does Stay48 decide what to recommend?
Each guide is built using a combination of:
- Real travel experience and on-the-ground perspective
- Local and national food and travel journalism
- Current digital research tools to confirm what's open, relevant, and worthwhile
No single source determines inclusion. Recommendations are cross-checked and edited for relevance to a 48-hour stay.
Does Stay48 use AI or automated tools?
Modern research tools are used to support accuracy and efficiency. Human judgment determines what belongs in a Stay48 itinerary.
How often are guides updated?
Cities change, and so do recommendations. Stay48 guides are reviewed and refreshed to reflect closures, new openings, and meaningful shifts over time.
Why focus on 48 hours?
Two days is a common travel window and a challenging one. With limited time, decisions matter more. Stay48 exists to help travelers make those decisions with confidence.
