Wikivoyage:Itinerary article template
[NOTE: this is a template for creating articles about itineraries. Itinerary articles should be about traveling along a specific, recognized route, such as Hajj or Route 66. Itineraries should not be sightseeing schedules or personal travelogues; content that would be included in an article such as "One week in Barcelona" should instead be placed into the Barcelona article.
[NOTE: To quickly insert a complete blank itinerary template, copy the text between the lines into the edit box on page you are editing. This text is general, change it as needed.]
- '''Itinerary''' is in [[Region_name]].
- ==Get in==
- ==Stay safe==
- ==Go next==
[NOTE: Stuff in italics below is editorial comment, with suggestions for what should go in each section, and not part of the eventual article. If you copy the text below, you should plan on ripping out everything in italics when you start your article.]
The introduction to an itinerary does not have a heading. This is a where you give a quick descriptive overview of the itinerary.

Also include any background information particular to the route, but try not to duplicate too much information that already exisits in the country, region or city pages.
