Travel readers do not want a wall of text. They want a route they can actually follow. The City Guide template puts a 72-hour itinerary into a swipeable card carousel - cover, day-by-day stops across morning and evening, a where-to-stay card, and a save-the-guide call to action - so a reader can flip through your picks the way they would flip through a magazine spread on the plane.
Fraunces sets the editorial display tone, IBM Plex Mono handles the day labels and timing tags, and Inter keeps body copy clean. The card layout shows roughly one stop on mobile, two on tablet, and three on desktop, with a peek of the next card to keep readers swiping. The template ships with Lisbon as the demo city, but it is built to adapt to anywhere - swap the imagery, rewrite the stops, and you have a guide for any destination.
Three-Day Itinerary Structure
Cover, Day 1 morning, Day 1 evening, Day 2 morning, Day 2 evening, Day 3, where to stay, and save the guide. The 72-hour arc is built in, so you only swap content. Re-label days for shorter or longer trips and the structure still holds.
Multi-Card Browsing With Peek
The slider shows 1.1 cards on mobile, 2.1 on tablet, and 3.1 on desktop. The fractional values show a peek of the next card so readers see there is more to swipe through, which boosts engagement compared to a single full-bleed card.
Fraunces, Inter, and IBM Plex Mono Pairing
Fraunces in the 600 weight handles editorial headlines and stop names. IBM Plex Mono carries day labels and timing tags so they read like a printed itinerary. Inter keeps body copy crisp at every size. The combination is proven for travel and editorial content.
Editorial Palette With Forest and Paprika Accents
Paper, ink, deep forest, and paprika - a palette borrowed from independent travel magazines. The forest accent grounds the cards, paprika picks out day labels and CTAs, and every color is editable to match your own publication.
Adaptable to Any City
The template ships with Lisbon as the demo city, but the structure is destination-agnostic. Swap the imagery and headlines and the same eight slides work for Tokyo, Mexico City, Marrakech, Porto, or a long weekend in your own town.
This template is built for travel publications, independent guidebook writers, and destination marketing teams who need a way to publish itineraries that feels closer to a printed spread than a blog post. The card carousel format invites browsing, the day labels make the guide easy to skim, and the editorial type pairing reads as authored rather than auto-generated.
Hotels, tour operators, and city tourism boards can use the template as a content marketing asset on their site - a 72-hour neighborhood guide pinned to the homepage, a season-themed itinerary on a campaign page, or a property-adjacent guide that drives engagement and bookings. The save-the-guide CTA can link to a downloadable PDF, a newsletter signup, or a related booking flow.
Travel bloggers, content creators, and freelancers publishing on WordPress, Ghost, or Substack can drop this into a post and instantly elevate the look. Customize the palette to match your blog, swap the photos, write the stops, and the slider does work that a static numbered list never could.

- Can I adapt this guide to a different city?
- Yes. The template ships with Lisbon as the demo city, but every label, headline, neighborhood name, and image is editable. Drop in your own city, swap the photography, rewrite the day-by-day stops, and the structure adapts to anywhere - from Tokyo to Mexico City to a small town with a weekend itinerary.
- Can I change the number of days or stops in the itinerary?
- Absolutely. The template includes eight slides covering a 72-hour itinerary across three days plus a where-to-stay slide and a save CTA. You can duplicate slides for a longer trip, remove slides for a shorter one, and re-label day tags to match any time window - a half-day walk, a long weekend, or a full week.
- Does the multi-card layout adapt to mobile?
- Yes. The slider shows roughly one card on mobile, two on tablet, and three on desktop, with a peek of the next card to invite swiping. Type sizes, card spacing, and layout reflow per breakpoint, so the guide reads cleanly on phones and gets richer on larger screens.
- Can I match the palette to my publication or brand?
- Yes. The default palette pairs paper, ink, forest, and paprika - editorial colors that suit travel content - but every color is editable. Update card backgrounds, day tags, headline color, and accents in the visual editor to match a magazine, blog, or destination marketing brand.
- How do I publish this guide to my travel blog or CMS?
- Publish to CDN from Swiper Studio and paste the embed snippet into your CMS. It works with WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, Substack embeds, Squarespace, and any platform that accepts an embed block. You can also export standalone HTML, React, Vue, Next.js, or a Web Component if you prefer to host the slider yourself.
