Alexa Commands to Plan Your Summer Vacation

Artículo de blog
We're sure you're busy planning your next summer vacation. To help you with the task, we've brought you a list of skills you can use on your Smart Speaker with Amazon Alexa built-in . As you may already know, Alexa provides you with thousands of actions known as "skills." These commands can be linked to sports information, news, weather queries, or even interactive games like Trivia or Q12.

Planning a trip is a task that many of us love. From planning what clothes to pack to planning the best route for traveling by car . Smart devices are a great organizational aid as they can serve as an addition to your order of priorities. Simply ask your Smart Speaker with Amazon Alexa what you want to know, and the speaker will provide you with the information you need.

Below, we'll show you some of the possibilities Smart Speakers offer for organizing your next summer vacation. Remember, these commands or skills can be installed on any of the three available speaker models: 7 Tower, 5 Home, and 3 Talk .


Plan the route


One of the first things you should consider is planning your trip, the places you want to visit, and how you'll get around your destination. To achieve this, we recommend the following skills:

  • Bus information: Very useful if you're traveling to a city and want to get around while exploring the city.

  • Renfe: “Alexa, ask Renfe for the AVE train schedules from Madrid to Barcelona.” With this skill, you’ll have extensive information on trains, schedules, and even common questions like: “How many suitcases can I travel with?” or “Can I travel with my pet?”

  • UBER: It's now much easier to request an Uber to pick you up from your hotel or home to go to the airport.


Get to know the typical food of your destination


One of the ways you can use your Amazon Alexa skills is to learn about seasonal fruits ('Seasonal Fruits') or discover culinary curiosities ( 'Curiosities about Mexican Food' ) . We also recommend installing 'Directo al Paladar' . It offers thousands of recipes if you're planning a road trip and need to bring food for the kids, or want to prepare lunch/dinner with friends on vacation and want to surprise them.

What will the weather be like on my vacation?


This series of skills is essential for having information about the weather at my destination and, based on this information, packing my bags. You can also check the UV index forecast so you don't forget sunscreen before leaving home (UVA Rays).
These skills give you a detailed overview of the things you should consider before heading off on vacation. Now all you need to do is sync your Smart Speaker withour Spotify profile to take a load of great songs with you on your trip. And enjoy the summer!
