Build a beautiful day-by-day travel itinerary in your browser. Drag, drop, invite friends, and export — all completely free, no credit card required, no time limit.
Start Building Free — No Account Needed Or try the AI travel plannerThe SmartTrippy free itinerary builder is a complete, browser-based travel planner that lets you organise an entire trip — from a weekend city break to a six-month round-the-world adventure — without paying a cent. You can add destinations, set travel dates, build out each day with activities, restaurants, hotels and transport, and reorder everything by simply dragging cards into place.
Every itinerary you create lives on a clean visual timeline that's easy to share, print, or export as a PDF. There's no learning curve, no setup, and no premium upsell hiding behind the features that actually matter — adding activities, sorting your days, attaching notes, and inviting people to plan with you are all permanently free.
Unlike spreadsheet-based planners or note-taking apps that weren't built for travel, the SmartTrippy free itinerary builder understands the structure of a real trip. It groups activities by day, calculates how long you have between events, surfaces the addresses you'll need on the ground, and keeps track of every booking confirmation in one place. When you're standing outside a museum in a city you've never visited, you don't want to hunt through five tabs to find the address — you want one clean itinerary on your phone, and that's exactly what this builder delivers.
Travel is rarely a solo activity, and your itinerary planner shouldn't be either. SmartTrippy's free builder includes Google Docs-style real-time collaboration as a core feature, not a paid upgrade. Invite anyone by email, give them edit or view permission, and watch each person's cursor move around the itinerary in real time as you all build the trip together.
This matters more than you'd think. The traditional way of planning a group trip — one person makes a Google Doc, another sends links over WhatsApp, a third has the bookings buried in their email — falls apart fast. With shared simultaneous editing, your friend in another time zone can add a restaurant they want to try while you're still picking the hotel, and you'll both see the change instantly. No version conflicts, no copy-paste, no "wait, which doc is the latest one?".
If you're planning with a group, our dedicated guide on how to plan a trip with friends walks through the whole process step by step.
Add any place by name and the builder pulls in the address, opening hours and a photo automatically.
Pin your accommodation to specific nights and the timeline shows your check-in, check-out and total nights at a glance.
Connect your activities with walking, transit, taxi or driving segments, with travel time and rough cost.
Attach confirmation numbers, packing reminders and group decisions to any day or activity.
See every activity on a map by day so you can avoid criss-crossing the city.

SmartTrippy gives you two ways to plan, and they work together on the same trip. The free itinerary builder is the right starting point when you already have a clear idea of what you want to do — maybe you've researched the city, asked friends for recommendations, or you're piecing together a trip around specific events like a wedding or a conference. The AI travel planner is the right starting point when you want a complete suggested plan in minutes that you can then refine.
| Free Itinerary Builder | AI Travel Planner | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free forever | Free trial, then from $14.99/mo |
| Best for | You know what you want | You want suggestions |
| Time to first plan | 5–30 minutes (manual) | 2–4 minutes (auto) |
| Collaboration | Yes — unlimited | Yes — unlimited |
| Editable after creation | Yes | Yes |
Most travelers end up using both: generate a draft with the AI travel planner, then refine it manually in the free builder. Once your draft is in your account, you can switch between the two views as often as you like.
Yes — the manual itinerary builder is completely free forever with no credit card required and no time limit. You can build unlimited trips, invite collaborators, and access all planning features at no cost.
You can start building a trip without an account. To save your itinerary, share it with friends, or come back to edit it later you'll want to create a free account, which takes about ten seconds and only needs an email address.
Unlimited. There is no cap on the number of trips, days per trip, activities per day, or collaborators per trip on the free plan.
Yes — every itinerary built in the free builder can be exported as a clean printable PDF, shared as a public link, or kept private to just you and your invited collaborators.
Once your itinerary is loaded in the browser it stays available even if your connection drops. Changes sync automatically the moment you reconnect, so you can keep planning on a flight or in a hotel with patchy Wi-Fi.
The free itinerary builder is a manual day-by-day planner — you add activities, hotels, restaurants and notes yourself. The AI trip planner generates a complete personalized itinerary in minutes from a short brief, including hotels, restaurants, transport and budget. Both work side by side on the same trip.
