A great sports trip gives everyone something to look forward to, including the person who came along mostly for the holiday.
Give each day one anchor
Build around a match, a neighbourhood or a shared meal. Trying to see everything leaves little space to enjoy anything. One fixed plan a day is often enough.
Make the budget a group decision
Agree what matters before booking: a particular seat, a central base or an extra night. Separate confirmed prices from your rough estimates, and include transport and food.
Save something for the morning after
Plan a slow breakfast, a walk or an easy local experience. The final whistle need not be the end of the weekend.
