Schengen Travel Itinerary for Visa: Template & Example
How to create a Schengen visa travel itinerary. Day-by-day template, what to include, and sample.
What is a travel itinerary for a Schengen visa?
A travel itinerary for a visa application is a day-by-day (or at least date-by-date) plan of your trip: where you will be, what you will do, and sometimes where you will stay. It shows the embassy that your visit is planned and genuine, and that your stated purpose (e.g. tourism) matches your plans. For Schengen applications, a detailed itinerary helps show your route, accommodation, and that your stay fits within the 90/180-day rule.
What to include
-
Dates of travel and countries/cities you will visit.
-
Where you will stay each night (hotel name, address, or host).
-
Main activities (e.g. sightseeing, meetings, family).
-
Transport between cities if relevant (train, flight, car).
