About Viala
Plan your next trip in minutes - or find the best things to do around you right now. Viala is an AI travel planner with two jobs: it builds a complete day-by-day itinerary for your city break or vacation, and it shows you what's worth doing nearby, right now, wherever you are. TRIP PLANNING → Answer a few quick questions about your trip → Swipe through AI-curated activities, restaurants and experiences → Watch your day-by-day itinerary build in real time, with transit times and the weather forecast → Adjust, reorder and share when you're ready No more hours lost in travel blogs, review sites or spreadsheets. Planning a weekend, a city break or a two-week holiday takes minutes. WHAT'S NEARBY Open Viala anywhere - at home on a free afternoon or in the middle of a trip - and get the best places around you: food and drinks, things to do, sights and hidden spots, ranked live by opening hours, weather and distance. Perfect for spontaneous plans. FEATURES AI Trip Planning A complete day-by-day itinerary in under a minute. Activities, restaurants, transit times - all organized automatically. What's Nearby The best places around you right now, ranked by what's open, the weather and how far it is. Save the ones you like. From TikTok to Your Trip Spotted a place in a TikTok post? Share it into Viala and it pulls out the places, ready to add to your trip or save for later. Official Travel Advisories Official government travel advisories for your destination - while you plan and for trips you have saved - so you know before you go. Before You Go Checklist Every new trip comes with a smart checklist: documents, health, connectivity, money, packing and local rules - tuned to your route when you set your home base. Budget Tracker & Expense Splitting Set a trip budget, log expenses as they happen and split them with the people you travel with - even if they don't use Viala. Balances show who owes whom. Plan Together Invite travel companions, plan the trip together and share activities or nearby finds with them. Share & Import Share a trip as an image with an import code or QR code. Anyone with Viala gets their own copy in one tap. Weather-Aware Forecasts sit directly in your trip timeline, so you can plan around the conditions. Stay Suggestions AI-ranked accommodation ideas that match your destination and budget. See It First Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts for a place, right inside the app, before you decide. FREE TO USE Trip planning, What's Nearby, sharing and expense splitting are free. No paywalls on the core features. Browse as a guest first; an account is needed to create plans. ABOUT AI-GENERATED CONTENT Viala uses AI to generate travel suggestions. Content may be inaccurate, outdated or incomplete. Always verify opening hours, prices, visa requirements and local conditions before you travel. Viala is a planning and information tool - it is not a travel agent, tour operator or booking platform.
