99 Helpful Blog Post Ideas For Travel Bloggers

Are you struggling to come up with engaging content? Or topics that are SEO-Optimized? If you’re a travel blogger, you have come to the right place.

When we are abroad there are so many content ideas flying around. But, what do you write about when you’re stuck at home with no travel plans coming up soon? 

There are many things you can write about on just one trip. From itineraries to favourite things and recommendations. 

Before we go through the list of blog post ideas, let’s go through how you can decide on which topics to write about.

First, let’s look at your niche. Is your blog about a specific topic in the travel niche? For example, maybe you write about places and things to do in the USA, or maybe your niche is travelling with kids. 

When picking a topic to write about you will want to stay in your niche. You don’t want to write about something irrelevant to your blog just because it’s a popular topic. You will also want to write something that will help resolve your reader’s problem. Make it about them, not you.

Secondly, you will need to do keyword research to help you find what people are looking for and interested in reading. Doing keyword research will not only help you figure out what to write about, but it will also be a step closer to ranking on google. It’s a win-win situation.

I recommend creating a content calendar and planning in advance what you’re going to write about.

Now, let’s go on to the list of blog post ideas to help you with inspiration the next time you are struggling with your content.

Note: Things like cities and countries can be changed to whatever applies to your blog.

A ‘Top’ List

These types of topics are popular with travel bloggers. They are a great way to share your favourite things about a destination in one blog post. When writing a ‘top’ list, I recommend adding a number. For example, ‘Top 10’ or ‘Top 50’. Include the relevant number in your header.

1. Top cities to visit alone
2. Top cities to visit in Europe
3. Top cities to visit in Spain
4. Top European countries to visit in November
5. Top small cities to visit in the USA
6. Top cities to visit worldwide
7. Top places to visit in Germany in the Summer
8. Top destinations for couples
9. Top child-friendly cities in Europe
10. Australia’s top cities to visit

Special events

Make sure to keep note of important dates on your content calendar. Add a reminder at least 1 month or so in advance to write and publish relevant blog posts.
