Start from a plan that works.
Make it yours.
Skip the blank page. Open a city guide with a ready-made three-day plan, or a trip another traveler shared, and copy it into your planner in one tap. Then change anything — the dates, the days, every stop.
Every good trip starts from someone's plan.
A blank page is the slowest way to plan. Wanderlust gives you three places to start — and each one becomes a trip you can edit, take with you and share when you're home.
City guides with a plan inside.
City pages carry the numbers — cost of living, safety, internet. The most-researched ones add a sourced guide to getting in, getting around and when to go, plus a sample 3-day itinerary.
Trips other travelers shared.
Explore is one feed of public journeys and bookable group trips. Find one that fits and copy it — every day and stop comes with it, and the dates are left for you to set.
Long reads in the Journal.
The Journal publishes long-form destination guides and travel essays. Publisher members write their own — from scratch, or starting from an AI draft they make their own.
Pick a city. Borrow the plan.
A few places to start. The most-researched city pages include a sample three-day itinerary you can copy into your planner with one button — the rest give you the numbers to plan your own.
Lisbon, from Alfama to Belém
Seven hills, trams that rattle up them, and a riverfront that runs out to the pastry counters of Belém. Open the guide for cost of living, safety and the best months to go — then plan the days.
Mexico City, food first
Tacos al pastor, Roma Norte coffee, and a market lunch in Coyoacán.
Tokyo, and the trains out of it
Neon nights, quiet shrines, and a rail network that makes Hakone and Kyoto easy next stops.
Reykjavík, gateway to the Ring Road
A small capital with geothermal pools across town — and the start of Iceland's Ring Road.
Marrakesh for the first time
Medina to Majorelle, riads behind plain doors, and souks that reward a slow afternoon.
Santiago, and the road south
Chile's capital between the Andes and the vineyards, and the jumping-off point for Patagonia.
Homework done. Days laid out.
The deepest guides read like advice from someone who did the research — with the sources listed, and a three-day plan at the end you can take as your starting point.
Sourced, not scraped.
Deep guides cover getting in, getting around and when to go, with numbered sources you can check — and honest pros and cons.
Numbers you can plan on.
Cost of living, safety, internet speed and the best months to go sit beside the prose, so you can compare cities on more than photos.
Three days, ready to copy.
Morning, afternoon and evening for three days. One button copies them into your planner, where every stop is yours to move.
Ask for a change. Approve it.
Your copy is a real plan, not a read-only page. Drag stops between days, or ask the assistant: it proposes adding, editing or reordering a stop, and nothing changes until you confirm. Optimize Day puts a day's stops in a shorter order.
Day 2 · Afternoon · Monserrate Palace gardens
From someone else's plan to your trip.
Plan it, live it, share it — starting from a plan that already exists.
A city guide's three-day plan, a trip someone shared on Explore, or an AI draft built from your own dates.
One button puts it in your planner. Set your dates, move stops, ask the assistant for changes.
Take it offline in Trip Mode in the iOS app, and share it back with a public link when you're home.
Write the guide you wish you'd had.
With the Publisher plan you write travel guides on Wanderlust — from scratch or from an AI draft — schedule them to go live, and host trips travelers can book, with views and bookings in one dashboard.
