A purpose-built AI travel planner that generates a complete day-by-day itinerary — hotels, restaurants, activities, transport, packing list, visa info and budget — in under four minutes.
Plan My Trip With AI — Free Or build manually for freeThe SmartTrippy AI travel planner takes a short brief — destination, dates, budget, travel style, interests — and returns a complete, editable, visually laid-out itinerary in two to four minutes. Under the hood it uses AI specifically designed for travel planning, combined with Google Places verification and hotel recommendations with estimated prices and booking links, so the plan you get back uses real places and bookable options — not the made-up "AI hallucinations" that ruin generic chatbot answers.
The output is structured, not a wall of text. You get a day-by-day timeline with morning, afternoon and evening activities; specific restaurant suggestions for breakfast, lunch and dinner; hotel picks for each city with photos and prices; transport between activities with travel time; a per-day budget breakdown; and a packing list and visa summary tailored to where you're going from.
Every element is editable. Don't like the second-day museum pick? Swap it. Want to add a friend's favourite restaurant? Drop it in. Need to invite the rest of the group? Hit Share. The AI gives you a strong starting draft; you stay in full control of the final plan.
Morning, afternoon and evening activities with addresses, photos, opening hours and time estimates.
Hotel recommendations with estimated per-night rates, ratings, photos and direct booking links.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner suggestions matched to your budget and dietary preferences.
How to get between every activity, with method, time and rough cost — plus inter-city transport for multi-stop trips.
Per-day and total spend forecast across accommodation, food, transport and activities.
A packing checklist for the season and a visa summary for your nationality and destination.
Most planners give you one of these things. SmartTrippy delivers all of them in a single generated plan — and they all stay in sync as you edit.
It's a fair question. ChatGPT and other general-purpose chatbots can write a perfectly readable "5 days in Tokyo" summary, so why pay for a dedicated AI travel planner?

The short answer: a chatbot suggests a trip. SmartTrippy plans, prices, organises and lets you book one — and you can refine the plan with your friends afterwards.
One of the biggest frustrations with AI-generated travel plans is that the prices are often wrong, outdated or completely invented. SmartTrippy addresses this by including hotel recommendations with estimated prices and direct booking links in every plan — so when the AI suggests a hotel for night three, you get a realistic price indication and a link to book, rather than a vague suggestion with no numbers attached.
This matters because budget is one of the few things you genuinely can't fudge. A trip that looks great on paper but blows the budget by 30% is worse than no plan at all. SmartTrippy keeps the per-day and total spend forecast updated as you swap items in and out, so you always know whether the plan is still in range.

Two to four minutes for a typical week-long trip. The AI generates a complete day-by-day itinerary including hotels, restaurants, activities, transport between activities, real-time prices, packing list and visa information.
ChatGPT can suggest activities but it isn't a travel planner — it doesn't know real hotel prices, doesn't book anything, doesn't lay your trip out on a timeline you can edit, doesn't share with friends, and frequently invents places that don't exist. SmartTrippy is purpose-built for travel: real prices, real places verified against Google Maps, structured day-by-day output, collaboration, and the ability to refine every detail in a visual editor afterwards.
Yes. SmartTrippy uses AI specifically designed for travel planning, combined with Google Places verification for activities and hotel recommendations with estimated prices and booking links — so you get real, bookable suggestions rather than imaginary ones.
Absolutely. The AI plan opens directly in the same visual editor as the free itinerary builder, so you can drag activities between days, swap hotels, add notes, invite friends, and refine every detail until the plan feels right.
Destination, travel dates (or rough length), how many travelers, your rough budget, your interests (e.g. food, history, hiking) and your preferred travel pace. The whole brief is a 4-step form that takes under a minute to fill in.
Yes — including transport recommendations between cities, with realistic travel times and price estimates so each leg of the trip fits together cleanly.
