Gingerguide

Coverage of the Gingerguide catalog: number of cities, sights and countries, supported languages, and the exact values accepted by the category, interests and periods filters of the other tools. Call it first when unsure whether a city or filter value is supported.

get_catalog_overview

Compare two to four covered cities side by side, e.g. "Porto or Lisbon?" or "Seville vs Granada for Moorish history". Gives each city's sight count, days needed, strongest interests and historical periods, share of indoor sights and headline sights, says which city is stronger for each interest or period, and the distance between them. Based on the sight catalog only: not prices, weather, nightlife or beaches.

compare_cities

Day trips from a base city to other covered cities and towns nearby, e.g. "day trips from Florence" or "a day trip from Munich for castles". Ranks destinations by distance, fit with the traveler's interests and periods, and fame, and lists what to see there in one day. Distances are straight-line; travel times are not included because trains, mountains and ferries change them a lot. Only covered cities are listed.

find_day_trips

Sights closest to a latitude/longitude (for example the traveler's hotel or current position), sorted by walking time, optionally filtered by interests or category. If nothing is within the radius, returns the nearest covered city.

find_nearby_attractions

Full details for one sight: long description, a notable fact, photo, coordinates, map links, visit minutes, and the nearest other sights with walking minutes. Use the attraction id from search_attractions or get_city_guide.

get_attraction

One city's guide: overview, headline sights, lesser-known sights, and every sight with category, coordinates, visit minutes and a one-line description. Set detail to "full" to add the long description of every sight (large response).

get_city_guide

Practical facts for visiting one city: best months and crowd seasons, climate, annual events that change a visit, how to get from the airport, main station or cruise port to the centre (typical minutes), city passes, which sights are free, which need booking ahead, weekly closing days and dress codes. Every fact has a source and a check date. No prices or opening hours. Researched for some cities only; the answer says when a city is not covered yet.

get_visit_info

List covered countries with the ids of their cities.

list_countries

Multi-day plan for one city: each day covers one or two walkable areas (with a public-transport hop between them), ordered as walking routes, plus sights that did not fit. Example: "three days in Vienna for art and music lovers".

plan_trip_itinerary

Build an ordered self-guided walking route in one city that fits a time budget, e.g. "a two-hour historical walk in Rome". Picks sights by interests, periods and style, orders them to keep walking short, and returns each stop with walking minutes, suggested time on site, clock times and a Google Maps walking link.
