Free Travel Itinerary Templates
Every template here is a complete trip planner, not a decorated grid: day-by-day pages, a bookings section with space for confirmation numbers and PNRs, a budget that adds itself up (and splits costs across the group), a categorised packing list, and the pre-trip checklist people wish they had used.
Download whichever format fits how you plan. No email address, no locked "pro" version, no watermark across your plans. And if you would rather not fill in a template at all — our AI writes the whole itinerary for your destination, free, and exports it to every one of these formats.
Skip the blank page entirely. Answer eight quick questions and the AI writes a complete day-by-day itinerary for your destination — then exports it to any of these formats. Free, no signup.

Frequently asked questions
Which format should I pick?
Spreadsheets (Excel / Google Sheets) if you care about budget tracking — the totals and group cost split calculate themselves. Documents (Word / Google Docs) if the plan should read like pages. The PDF if you want paper in the daypack. Notion if your life already lives there.
Are these really free?
Yes — direct downloads, no email gate, no signup. They are the same export engines our itinerary generator uses, packaged as blank planners.
What makes these different from other free templates?
Two things. The spreadsheets are working planners — live budget totals, group cost splitting, tickable checkboxes, print setup done — not static grids. And every template has a "filled" twin: the AI at monkeyeatingmango.com generates a real itinerary for your destination in the same structure, free.
Can I use them for a business trip?
Yes — the bookings section (flight PNR, seat, hotel confirmations, car rental) is the core of a business itinerary. Delete the leisure sections you do not need; the example file shows the structure filled in.
