    Let \(G\) be a multigraph without loops. A trail between two vertices \(u\) and \(v\) in \(G\) is a sequence \(u=v_1,e_1,v_2,e_2,v_3,\dots,v\) such that \(e_i=v_iv_{i+1}\), \(i=1,2,\dots,l\). When \(u=v\), the trail is called a travel. A travel with pairwise distinct vertices is called a circuit. In this paper a sufficient condition to partition a travel into circuits of length at least 3 is provided. Moreover, a necessary and sufficient condition to partition a planar travel into such circuits, which can be verified in polynomial time, is provided.
