Frequently asked
How it works, what it costs, where the data comes from, and why it is not the same as asking a generic assistant.
The essentials
A generator of personalised art itineraries for cultural cities, designed specifically for art lovers. Choose a city, dates, and a profile: we give you back a day-by-day, hour-by-hour plan, with verified opening hours, walking distances, and food suggestions carefully chosen for those who love good food as much as art.
Every place, opening hour, and booking requirement is verified against our structured database. When we do not know something, we say so. A generic assistant, when it does not know, invents, and fluently at that. Flâneur includes works a statistical model has never heard of, or confidently places in the wrong museum. And the process is active, not passive: instead of accepting what a model decides for you, you choose what you want to see from a menu of all the art the city holds. Flâneur cannot hallucinate, and you are the one composing your itinerary according to your tastes and needs, including niche works that an AI, operating on a statistical basis, will never suggest. The choice between AI and Flâneur is like choosing between Economy and Business: both get you there, but with a different quality.
No. Flâneur is a web app: you use it straight from the browser, on phone or desktop. You can add it to your home screen like any app, but there is no store to go through.
Pricing and profiles
You pay per itinerary. The price scales with the density of art in the city you choose, starting at €5. A single payment covers the whole itinerary, however many days it spans.
Curious: three questions and you are done. You see the essential masterpieces without needing a degree in art history, because Flâneur makes every choice for you.
Enthusiast: you browse the artists active in the city and pin the ones you care about, and the engine arranges them into a logical, timed sequence with denser planning, aimed at making the most of the art in the hours you have. Or you let Flâneur decide everything, in which case it simply builds a more intense day than the Curious one.
Expert: you filter by discipline and period, browse the entire catalogue, and pin individual works, with full curatorial control over the day.
Data and reliability
From ArtAtlas, a structured database of more than 25,000 geolocated works across the cities we cover, classified by period, discipline, and curatorial priority. Built from the ground up, not scraped from travel forums.
It does not happen by accident. We check opening hours, weekly closures, and seasonal exceptions for your exact travel dates. The classic Monday closure is quietly excluded, without you finding out at the door.
Blog-reviewed: visited and written about first-hand by TheIntroverTraveler. Rare, selective, trustworthy.
Editorially curated: a wider selection, chosen after cross-referenced research and local input, with a strict no-tourist-trap policy. Not personally verified, but chosen with the same seriousness.
In practice
English. Our cultural audience is functionally bilingual, so the generated itinerary is in English. This site is available in several languages for browsing, but the final document you receive is always in English.
Yes. Where entry requires booking, the itinerary includes the direct link to buy, alongside skip-the-line and guided-tour options. The link appears in the individual venue card, once the itinerary is generated.
Yes. Before the final generation you can exclude places you have already seen, add day trips, and confirm your food preferences. The itinerary takes everything into account, including constraints like children in tow or reduced mobility.
Perhaps, but in no hurry. We add cities slowly, because each one demands the same editorial rigour as the first. We would rather cover fewer cities well than all of them badly.
Five minutes, a few questions, one precise day. From €5.
