A city you do not know means unfamiliar streets, sound coming from every direction and a day without given fixed points. The pictures below turn a visit to Uppsala into a row of places you can walk through together in advance.

About this visual support

The uneasiness in an unfamiliar city rarely comes from the outing itself but from everything that cannot be predicted: which way you go, how long you stay in each place and when there will be food. Uppsala adds the vast interior of the cathedral, staircases, crowds along the river Fyris and a sound level that shifts quickly between street and park.

A visual schedule works as a travel plan at the child's own pace. The cathedral, the castle, the ice cream and the train station go in the order you actually intend to walk them, and the child can see how many points remain before heading home. The question of what happens next gets an answer that can be looked at rather than repeated.

One tip before the day: add a blank picture for a break and let the child choose where in the order it belongs. If you want to build the whole day's schedule on your phone, Routined can be tried for 14 days at no cost.
