One country · twenty‑eight days
A month in Italy, wherever you happen to be.
Pocket Passport turns one country into a day-by-day journey: a place each morning, a real thing to do, a phrase to practice, a dish to cook. Take it on the ground, or bring it home to your own kitchen and calendar.

Day 9 of 28 · Florence, Tuscany
The Uffizi holds some of the most famous paintings in the world, among them Botticelli's Birth of Venus. Outside, the Ponte Vecchio has crossed the Arno for centuries — in 1593 the Medici ordered the butchers out and goldsmiths in, and the jewellers have stayed ever since.
Book Uffizi tickets ahead and pick a handful of rooms rather than trying to see all of it. At sunset, walk up to Piazzale Michelangelo.
Painting-pose challenge: pick one famous painting, recreate it as a family photo with whatever props are at home, and print the result.
The Vasari Corridor above the Ponte Vecchio's shops let the Medici cross the river entirely indoors, out of public sight — a private elevated passage that still runs, mostly closed to visitors, from the Uffizi to the Pitti Palace.

The itinerary
Four weeks, each with its own region, rhythm and accent colour in the app.
Built around your trip
Every day's tasks, tips and portions adapt to who you picked and which mode you're in.
Your passport
Finish a day and it's stamped, permanently — a little visual record of the month, built up one day at a time. Miss a few? The stamps just wait. This isn't a streak app.
Ninety minutes from your actual house, the Uffizi is closed for the night and the Ponte Vecchio is asleep. Pocket Passport doesn't pretend otherwise. What it gives you instead is the version of Florence you can hold: the story of the one bridge the retreating army didn't blow up, the phrase for asking to take a photo, the salad you can make tonight with yesterday's bread. Twenty-eight days like that add up to something closer to travel than a guidebook ever gets.
Coming soon
Pocket Passport is in the final stretch of building. The itinerary above is real — the app to carry it in is almost ready.
