Guest Posting 101 & Why Travel Blogs Accept Guest Posts

I’ve included information for each website including domain authority, website niche, writer’s guidelines and contact information.

Domain Authority (DA) for each site was checked using Keysearch , which is my go-to tool for keyword research, competitive analysis and so many other SEO factors.

What Is Guest Blogging?

Guest posting is the writing of an article for another travel website or a blog. Guest blogging offers great benefits for the guest blogger and website owner. One gets content in the form of a travel guest post, and the other gets backlinks and new traffic.

Why Should Bloggers Take Time & Submit An Article To Another Website?

In a nutshell, guest posting to other blogs allows you a link back to your website from the article you write. This means a “backlink” to your website. It also helps with brand awareness and domain authority! Other benefits of guest posting include:

  • Attracting new traffic back to our website (quality referral traffic).
  • Backlinks help you to boost our website domain and page authority.
  • Increases brand credibility.
  • Help you to build a relationship with other bloggers.
  • Build up your own portfolio of work to share with paying outlets or for media trips.
  • Ability to have additional outlets to help land media trips.
  • Improving your online Authority.
  • Work with an editor and feedback from a pro blogger!
  • Improving your writing skills.

If you are new to travel writing, guest posting is one of the best ways to get started as a travel writer. It will give you the opportunity to try different types of travel niche writing so you can find what you enjoy writing about. If you don’t have a website yet, you can ask for a link back to a social media account or get a promise for a link back to your website once you launch it.

Pitching Tips for Guest Posts:

Before you reach out to pitch a story to any of the below websites, it’s a MUST to visit the blog and scroll around to understand more about the owner of the blog, their writing style, tone of the site, and the topics they cover. Additional tips to pitch guest posting sites include:

  • If there are guest post guidelines, read them carefully.
  • Search their site to make sure they haven’t already posted a version of the same story you plan to pitch. (only pitch original content).
  • Do a bit of keyword research. In your pitch share some keywords with decent traffic that you can include.
  • Keep the audience of the site you are pitching in mind. Every website has its own unique audience, so it’s important to tailor your guest post accordingly. For example, if you’re writing for a Travel blog that focuses on adventure travel, your post should focus on these types of experiences.

After that, you can pitch a few topics you would like to cover in your guest post.

Guest Posting Tips:

In general, most travel bloggers are happy to accept high-quality and original articles. The other option is to ask for a paid sponsored post.

This might seem obvious, but #1 would be to write a great article. This is your chance to show off your writing skills, so make sure your post is well-written and informative. A few more tips include:

  • Only submit original content. Never copy and paste from other sites.
  • Provide high-quality photos if this is part of the guest post requirements.
  • Know the word count and make sure your provide an article that fits their range.
  • Include a bio and photo. Most guest posts will include a short bio about the author and a photo. Be sure to have both of these things when you submit your post.

Totally Legit Travel Guest Posting Site Opportunities

These are all sites that accept travel guest posts. They were originally sorted according to their Domain Authority (DA) by Moz. Two things about this, DA changes and in my opinion, this isn’t the most important factor to consider when choosing guest posting sites.

I think a combination of writing for high domain authority as well as sites that fit your niche are equally important. Also, don’t forget that a lower domain authority site today could be a high domain site in the next few months or by next year!

All of the guest posting opportunities offer a do-follow link. Some offer multiple links.

Most of the below sites do not offer payment, but there are a handful that do pay for submissions. As you scroll through look for the line that says “ Pay “. Please check each website listing for details.

My #1 Guest Post Pitching Tip

man typing on his laptop

When it comes to pitching, blogs looking for guest bloggers will have a “guest posts wanted” section on their site.

Be sure to read through the travel blog’s guest posting guidelines and requirements before pitching. 

Before sending your pitch, take some time to explore the blog and identify ways your content can provide value to its audience.

👩🏻‍💻 See a gap in their content you can write a post about? Add that to your pitch so they know you did some homework before contacting them.

As a travel blogger with a pretty big blog, I get at least 2-5 emails per day with someone looking to guest post. If I don’t see that they’ve taken the time to understand my site, I delete them. #SorryNotSorry

With guest posting pitches, you’ll want to highlight your experience and expertise on the subject you’d like to write about and how it will benefit their readers.

Are backlinks important?

Yes — You can think of a backlink as a “vote of confidence” for your site. Google has said many times that backlinks are one of the factors it uses to know how to rank sites in its search results.

In short: Unless you have a site with a lot of high-authority backlinks, you’re not likely going to have blog posts on Page 1 of Google.

Guest posting is one way to get backlinks, but there are others that I teach in my 10 Ways to Get Backlinks MasterClass . 

Does guest posting matter?

Yes — If you’re looking to build authority within the topic of your website, guest blogging is a great strategy because you can get high-authority backlinks from it.

These backlinks are a sign to Google that you have a great site.

While there are other ways to get backlinks to your blog, guest posting will always be a great option, especially for new bloggers just starting out.

Why does guest blogging matter to bloggers?

When other websites link back to your site, it shows Google that your content is trusted and that you’re an expert in your subject — which can lead to higher rankings and more traffic to your website. 

Guest blogging provides valuable content to a website that’s not yours, while also benefiting your own blog. It’s a win-win for bloggers, which is why this is one of the best strategies to get backlinks .

What is Domain Authority (DA)?

DA, or Domain Authority, measures a website’s authority and credibility within its niche. While DA is a factor or indicator of the overall health of your website — it’s is not an official metric from Google or any other search engine.

Who invented Domain Authority (DA)?

The SEO company Moz is credited with inventing DA. Other companies followed suit and later made up their own metric, like the DR from Ahrefs , which means Domain Rating.

Moz DA checker

The DA or DR considers the quality of the domain and the external links pointing to it, the quality and quantity of content on the website, the age of the domain, and more.

Your DA is a good indicator of potential success in search engine rankings, the same as your DR — even though these numbers can vary.

For example, one of my five blogs currently has a DA 37 and DR 44. But still, you can see this is a medium-authority blog.

How do I find blogs that accept guest posts?

There are many ways to find these, but if you want the work done for you, check out the 25 High DA Travel Blogs Accepting Guest Posts in this article. They list travel blogs to which you can submit content for backlinks.

Here are a few more ways to find blogs accepting guest posts:

  • Find blogs within your niche, and do a search for the words “guest post” or “write for us” on their website. You’ll often find this in the site’s footer.
  • Reach out to the site’s contact email and offer an idea that would benefit their site.
  • Finally, there are Facebook groups in many niches that will connect you to other bloggers in your niche that may be looking for guest posts — like Link Building + Guest Posts + Collabs (Travel Bloggers) .

How do I ask for a free guest post?

To request a free guest post, reach out to your niche community and let them know the benefits you’re offering in exchange for a post.

Typically, this includes providing backlinks to the guest blogger’s site in return for high-quality content.

This allows you to receive a free post, while providing valuable backlinks to their site. 🪄 Win-win!

What is the disadvantage of guest blogging?

Guest blogging has a few disadvantages, such as being time-consuming and diverting your attention away from content on your own site.

Second, search engines can take a while to recognize your content on another site, so it may take longer to see results.

Finally, it’s important to ensure you only guest post for reputable blogs . Content on low-quality websites can lead to penalization by Google.

As a general rule, I’d recommend you only guest post on sites with a DA/DR at least 15-20 points higher than yours. Of course, the higher the better.

How long should guest blog posts be?

Guest posts should be as long as the blog owner requires them to be. Typically, a high-quality blog post will have a minimum of 2,000 words . If the blog owner offers fewer or more backlinks for your blog post, the length requirements may differ. 

Can you use AI for guest posts?

It depends — While Google has gone on record to say they’re 100% fine with AI content as long as it’s helpful to readers, not all site owners want AI content for guest posts, so make sure to check with them.

Is guest blogging good?

Yes — Guest blogging is good. Not only does guest blogging open up your content to a new audience, but it allows you to establish yourself as an expert in your field.

Creating content for quality sites also provides you with valuable backlinks to your blog, which can improve your search engine rankings.

Guest blogging may be time-consuming and daunting, but it is an important aspect of creating a successful blog.

Guest Posting 101 & Why Travel Blogs Accept Guest Posts

I’ve included information for each website including domain authority, website niche, writer’s guidelines and contact information.

Domain Authority (DA) for each site was checked using Keysearch , which is my go-to tool for keyword research, competitive analysis and so many other SEO factors.

What Is Guest Blogging?

Guest posting is the writing of an article for another travel website or a blog. Guest blogging offers great benefits for the guest blogger and website owner. One gets content in the form of a travel guest post, and the other gets backlinks and new traffic.

Why Should Bloggers Take Time & Submit An Article To Another Website?

In a nutshell, guest posting to other blogs allows you a link back to your website from the article you write. This means a “backlink” to your website. It also helps with brand awareness and domain authority! Other benefits of guest posting include:

  • Attracting new traffic back to our website (quality referral traffic).
  • Backlinks help you to boost our website domain and page authority.
  • Increases brand credibility.
  • Help you to build a relationship with other bloggers.
  • Build up your own portfolio of work to share with paying outlets or for media trips.
  • Ability to have additional outlets to help land media trips.
  • Improving your online Authority.
  • Work with an editor and feedback from a pro blogger!
  • Improving your writing skills.

If you are new to travel writing, guest posting is one of the best ways to get started as a travel writer. It will give you the opportunity to try different types of travel niche writing so you can find what you enjoy writing about. If you don’t have a website yet, you can ask for a link back to a social media account or get a promise for a link back to your website once you launch it.

Pitching Tips for Guest Posts:

Before you reach out to pitch a story to any of the below websites, it’s a MUST to visit the blog and scroll around to understand more about the owner of the blog, their writing style, tone of the site, and the topics they cover. Additional tips to pitch guest posting sites include:

  • If there are guest post guidelines, read them carefully.
  • Search their site to make sure they haven’t already posted a version of the same story you plan to pitch. (only pitch original content).
  • Do a bit of keyword research. In your pitch share some keywords with decent traffic that you can include.
  • Keep the audience of the site you are pitching in mind. Every website has its own unique audience, so it’s important to tailor your guest post accordingly. For example, if you’re writing for a Travel blog that focuses on adventure travel, your post should focus on these types of experiences.

After that, you can pitch a few topics you would like to cover in your guest post.

Guest Posting Tips:

In general, most travel bloggers are happy to accept high-quality and original articles. The other option is to ask for a paid sponsored post.

This might seem obvious, but #1 would be to write a great article. This is your chance to show off your writing skills, so make sure your post is well-written and informative. A few more tips include:

  • Only submit original content. Never copy and paste from other sites.
  • Provide high-quality photos if this is part of the guest post requirements.
  • Know the word count and make sure your provide an article that fits their range.
  • Include a bio and photo. Most guest posts will include a short bio about the author and a photo. Be sure to have both of these things when you submit your post.

Totally Legit Travel Guest Posting Site Opportunities

These are all sites that accept travel guest posts. They were originally sorted according to their Domain Authority (DA) by Moz. Two things about this, DA changes and in my opinion, this isn’t the most important factor to consider when choosing guest posting sites.

I think a combination of writing for high domain authority as well as sites that fit your niche are equally important. Also, don’t forget that a lower domain authority site today could be a high domain site in the next few months or by next year!

All of the guest posting opportunities offer a do-follow link. Some offer multiple links.

Most of the below sites do not offer payment, but there are a handful that do pay for submissions. As you scroll through look for the line that says “ Pay “. Please check each website listing for details.

What is Guest Posting?

Guest posting is when an individual or company writes a post for another website in order to build their reputation and gain exposure. It can be a great way of getting your name out there, building relationships with other bloggers, and increasing traffic to your own site.

Typically, it is a post that you write from your own point of view, and the site then credits you as the author. But every travel guest post is different based in the posting sites.

Instead of getting paid for this – like you would with freelance writing – you get paid in backlinks.

Why Should You Guest Post?

Why the heck would you give away your writing for free??

That’s what I thought when I first started guest posting – especially since I was freelance writing at the time already.

Well, you are kind of getting paid for your writing. But instead of getting paid with money, you get paid with backlinks.

And since the high quality backlink services I’ve found cost – at the low end – $250/link, you’re likely making about $750 per post you write as guest blogging!

What’s a backlink?

It’s when a website links to your site from theirs.

Essentially, this tells Google that someone is recommending you. If they are in your niche, then Google values this more highly.

Think about it like this: if your friend recommends a restaurant, you’re more likely to try it. If you just walk past a restaurant and see the sign out front, you have no idea if it’s actually good.

And if your friend is a well known chef, then you’d definitely check out that restaurant because their opinion means so much to you.

Having a high authority blog in the travel niche link to yours will have the same impact to Google.

Guest posting sites are a great way to improve your digital marketing brand. Let’s look at more benefits of writing these posts.

Benefits of Guest Posting

  • Increase Brand Awareness – Writing for high profile websites will help you to increase brand awareness. People who may never have heard of your blog before will now know about it, which could result in more visits and engagement.
  • Build Authority – When you write for a high profile blog, it can help to build your own authority as an expert in the field. This will give people more confidence in your brand and increase their trust in you.
  • Grow Your Traffic – Publishing guest posts on well-known sites gives you access to their audience. This could result in increased exposure and more visitors to your website.Improve
  • Your Rankings – As mentioned above, getting high quality backlinks from these sites can help to improve your rankings in the search engine results pages (SERPs). This could be beneficial for both short-term and long-term SEO strategies .
  • Connect With Other Bloggers – Writing guest posts gives you an opportunity to connect with other bloggers and make long-term friends. I’ve made some of my closest blogging friends from collabs like this.
  • Improve Your Writing – If you can’t afford courses, one of the best ways to learn from experts is to write for them. This can be as a paid freelancer, or short-term as a guest poster. You’ll learn a lot from their feedback and rules!
  • Build Your Portfolio – If you want to freelance write, having some samples under your belt (especially ones that ank well on Google) will help you land more clients.
  • Make More $$$ – Getting links to affiliate posts or difficult posts helps their rankings, which will increase both add and affiliate revenue.

Guest Post Pitching Tips

Before you reach out to write a guest post for anyone, you MUST pitch.

Pitching is where you give them a sense of what you’ll offer them. It’s like a proposal – you’re proposing to write a post for them.

When pitching, make sure your language is professional and you include all the details they need to know. Be clear about what you can offer in terms of writing quality, SEO knowledge, and anything else that will set you apart from the competition.

Before you start crafting your pitch, you will need to do some research. It’s almost like a mini. job interview.

You will need to:

  • Check for guest post guidelines on their site (the above all have linked or explicitly explained instructions)
  • Check their niche to ensure you pitch something relevant and are not pitching something they already have
  • Do keyword research to pitch something that will benefit their audience
  • Ensure you don’t pitch a keyword you will want to write on yourself
  • Ensure you tailor the pitch and the keyword to their audience rather than focusing on yours
  • Provide a sample of your writing. I do this by linking to my blog when I introduce myself

When you get accepted to write the guest post, ensure you follow their guidelines and provide a quality article that you would publish on your own site.

That’s the method I take with a travel blog accepting guest posts so I can score great backlink opportunities.

The Ultimate Guide to Guest Posting for Travel Bloggers

Guest posting on travel blogs. How to get noticed.

Get noticed.

Did you know…

Guest posting is a proven method for improving your website’s traffic and search engine rankings?

But it’s also one of the least understood and poorly executed methods for generating traffic.

Many bloggers don’t follow the three simple steps to success with guest posting … and quit before they see results.

But if you do it smart… keep at it… and write your ass off… you’ll start to see results.

I should know.

Take a look at the screenshot in Google:

guest blogging travel

972 and counting…

972 pages from guest posting!

Now I can’t say all of these results are relevant  (there may be another Adam Costa guest posting out there) but I do know that I’ve posted on hundreds of blogs.

During this process I learned a lot. And guess what? It all boils down to three simple steps which are…

1. Prospect

There are three reasons to post on someone else’s blog: build your credibility, increase traffic and improve your site’s authority to rank better in the search engines.

But of course, not all websites are created equal. Some will deliver more traffic than others will, while others provide greater SEO benefits.

So how do you find the best blogs?

To do this you will need two tools: the SEO Toolbar and SEOMoz toolbar .

They’re both free Firefox plug-ins, which is incredible considering how much time it will save you.

Here’s the SEO toolbar:

toolbar for guest post outreach

SeoBook Toolbar

The SEO Toolbar will give you an estimate of a site’s traffic (monthly uniques, above).

Don’t take this number too seriously, however, as they’re notoriously low.

I’ve found multiplying this number by three usually gets you close to the real number . For example, if the toolbar says 10,000 monthly uniques, it probably receives closer to 30,000 or more.

For this reason, I don’t like posting on sites that have less than 10,000 page views per month. Remember, you will only a very small percentage of site visitors will click-through to visit your site , which is why you need to go after high-traffic blogs.

The next is to measure how authoritative a website is to Google. The SEOMoz Toolbar measures a domain’s authority (DA) on a scale of 1 to 100, with 100 being the highest.

You can see it here:

seomoz toolbar for guest posting

SEOMoz Toolbar

Keep in mind the scale is logarithmic, which means it’s easier to go from 20 to 30 than it is to go from 70 to 80.

Most smaller travel blogs have a domain authority (DA) between 30 and 50, where bigger dogs like Nomadic Matt , Gary Arndt and Vagabondish are in the 60s.

I prefer to post on websites with a domain authority of at least 50 , though if you’re starting out you can go as low as 40. However, if you like a site and it seems like it’s making progress in terms of traffic, links, etc… by all means pitch them. You can always grow together.

Let’s use Vagabondish as an example. Here’s what I see:

toolbars in action

We see here Vagabondish has a domain authority (DA) of 64, and receives 30,000 unique visitors each month. Of course, the real traffic number is much, much higher (I’d estimate around 150,000).

This means a well written guest post will land me valuable traffic and links for SEO value. It’s no wonder I’ve posted on this site several times .

Not sure where to find travel blogs?

  • Here’s a list of 150 travel blogs .
  • Here’s the Technorati Top 100 blogs (general) and travel section .
  • Some lower ranked ones are also here and here .

That should get you started.

Next, I highly suggest you create a spreadsheet and include the following:

  • Domain (e.g. www.trekity.com)
  • Domain Authority
  • Contact Info (either email, phone or contact form URL)
  • Date contacted
  • Date post was submitted
  • URL of your guest post once it’s published

Now that you’ve compiled a list of travel blogs, it’s time to create a killer pitch.

Sending a cold e-mail is the hardest way to get accepted, though it does work. Depending on your pitch, expect anywhere from 5-20% success (professional linkbuilders get around 50% in some cases).

If possible, try to start a conversation with the blogger beforehand.

For example, if you notice a typo on their blog, send an e-mail pointing it out. When they respond, you have an opening to suggest a great idea for an article (though this still may be too soon).

Another way to engage bloggers are through comments. Leave thoughtful comments and bloggers will take notice will (by the way, I love comments!).

A third option is to engage them on Twitter, Facebook… whatever.

So how do you word your pitch?

The following is a template that I’ve used with some degree of success. Keep in mind you do need to personalize it:

Hello NAME, First off, your post/tweet on TOPIC was hilarious/awesome/perfect. I really like [enter a point or two here which relates to their content]. And it got me thinking. You see, my name is YOUR NAME and I’d love to contribute to WEBSITE NAME. Here’s a few ideas I have for a relevant guest post: POST IDEA #1 BULLET #1 BULLET #2 BULLET #3 POST IDEA #2 BULLET #1 BULLET #2 BULLET #3 POST IDEA #3 BULLET #1 BULLET #2 BULLET #3 Qualifications I’m [INSERT QUALIFICATIONS AND LINKS TO OTHER POSTS YOU’VE WRITTEN] If you’re interested, I am happy to write something during the next week and send it to you - or if you have another topic you’d like to see covered, I am more than happy to write that as well. To make things easy for you, I’ll submit the finished article in HTML with images, so all you’ll have to do is copy, paste, and publish.I appreciate your time and hope to hear from you. NAME EMAIL PHONE/SKYPE YOUR WEBSITE

Short, sweet and to the point.

Be sure to include three ideas specific to the blog’s audience . This way the blogger can choose which appeals to them (it also shifts their thinking from “Yes or No?” to “Which One?”.

After you send your pitch, give them a few days to respond. If they don’t, politely follow up once… and only once. The following template works well…

Hi, Would you be interested in a guest post? I emailed you the other day with three guest post topics. Here they are again: Topic 1 Topic 2 Topic 3 Let me know which one you like and I’ll submit a draft for your review. If you have any other topics you’d like covered, please let me know. Speak soon, NAME EMAIL PHONE/SKYPE YOUR WEBSITE

Using this strategy, you should expect at least 10% of the bloggers to accept your guest post . I know… 10% seems low, and it is… but it gets easier as you build credibility.

Now the next step is to…

Ready to write your post? The first thing you should do is write the headline. This forces you to state – in as few words as possible – what your article will be about.

Feeling stuck? Here’s 101 headlines for travel blogs . Choose one and get started.

Now you need to write the article.

Most guest posts are between 500 – 700 words which – if done properly – can be completed in less than an hour. Writing faster (without sacrificing quality) is an important skill.

In addition to speed, here are…

8 Tips for Writing Great Guest Posts

  • Link to other pages on the blog within your post.  For example, if you’re writing about Rome, link to other articles on Rome.
  • Mention the blogger’s name in a positive light. It makes both of you look good.
  • Take Hemingway’s advice. “Write drunk, edit sober” the man once said. What he really meant (in my opinion) is to write a first draft, then ruthlessly slash out the nasty bits.
  • Add a unique spin. “The Atheist’s Guide to European Churches” sounds more intriguing than “Europe’s Best Churches.”
  • Invite discussion. Openly asking for comments – and replying to them – helps increase your exposure on the blog.
  • Include pictures. Gary Arndt calls it “travel porn”… where people pick up travel guides just for the pictures. Why not put them in your post?
  • Use the (10 + 2) *5 technique. Write for ten minutes, stop for two. Repeat five times. Done.
  • Link to other prominent bloggers. This makes it easier for you to pitch them down the road.

Once your guest post goes live, let everyone know about it.

  • Tweet the post (and re-tweet the blog’s tweet)
  • Like it on Facebook
  • Bookmark it
  • Link to it in other guest posts (but only if relevant!)
  • Comment on other related blog posts
  • Mention it in forums
  • Record yourself reading the post, publish on video and audio sites

Better still, use Pixelpipe to spread content through various social networks with push button ease.

And here’s a neat trick:  when your post goes live, use Twitter Search to find who is retweeting your post and follow them. Chances are some of them at least will follow you back.

4 Tips for Effective Guest Posting

  • Batch them together. When we launched Trekity , we lined up over 30 guest posts to go live during our first week ( UPDATE : It became 51 posts which went live on the same day. You can read the whole case study here ). This creates what the military calls a “Force Multiplier” which yields results greater than its individual parts.
  • Link to important pages on your site. Choose your most valuable pages and link to them instead of just your homepage.
  • Use compelling anchor text. Anchor text – the words you use to link to your site - helps improve your search engine rankings. Therefore, don’t link your website’s name; instead, use a term you’d like to rank for (e.g. “Italy travel tips”).
  • Follow up with the blogger. Thank them for the opportunity, and build the relationship further. You could promote each other’s content and/or products, conduct interviews and maybe have them guest post for you next time.

What You Need to Do Next

I really like and appreciate your blog post.Really looking forward to read more. Fantastic.

guest blogging travel

This is really good advice Adam. I used guest posting as a strategy to really help grown my blog when it launched last year. Although the entire article is full of sound advice I think your suggestion to include three ideas specific to the blog’s audience you are attempting to post on is crucial.

guest blogging travel

I discovered a handy little iPad app called Story Tracker - which allows you to track all your potential publishers; store guest articles; and track where each submission is in the process. It’s not slick and effortless, and could do with some enhancements but it’s a good starting point if youre an iPad user.

guest blogging travel

Killer advice - thanks for sharing!

guest blogging travel

What a fabulous list of must-dos! Links, ideas, advice… this article rocks! Off to share it now.

Share away Leyla, share away 😉

guest blogging travel

Wow great advise, thank you for taking the time to do this post! I just started a blog a few months ago and I am considering doing some guest posts soon! How do you come up with so much new content? Do you find you end up writing similar things over and over?

If you need ideas for content, use one of these 202 headlines:

http://travelbloggeracademy.com/101-headlines-travel-blogs/

Should keep you busy for awhile 😉

Wow yes just came across that alright! Soo useful! Thanks!

Your whole site is keeping me busy…great work Adam! I like your writing style a lot!

guest blogging travel

Hi, Thanks for share this we us. Here i found some great tips related guest post. i am also a I am a content writer and I love writing articles as a hobby on topics related to Travel. If you want to content of your site then please reply me [email protected]

guest blogging travel

wonderfull page, I surprisingly benefited from glossing over it, keep up the good writing.

guest blogging travel

I read your article and I must say the information you give about guest posting is very useful. I also saw your articles at Vagabondish.com. Great writing. How did you contact Vagabondish to send them your article? Did you just use the Contact Us form?

Yep, just hit ’em up via the Contact Form. As Mike himself put it, “It never hurts to ask.” 😉

guest blogging travel

Thanks so much for this! Awesome site, such invaluable info 🙂

guest blogging travel

This is just what I need. I have two guest posts to produce this this week. Thanks!

guest blogging travel

How did you negotiate having 30 guest posts all lined up in the same week? Are the other bloggers so flexible with their own article posting schedule they were willing to accommodate your request?

Also how can you back link to your blog when writing a guest post, I would assume common courtesy is to relate to the host blogger’s content. How many back links to your blog do you put in a guest post?

I am trying to start a guest posting strategy and looking for any more pointers.

We had 51 posts go live on May 1st (give or take a day given different timezones); it worked mostly because we asked far enough (3 weeks+) in advance.

As far as links went, we placed one link to Trekity and one link to TravelBloggerAcademy in the “About the Author” section. For the most part that was the only place we put links to our sites.

If you’re looking for more guest posting advice, I wrote an outline of the whole affair here:

http://thinktraffic.net/50-guest-posts-one-day

Hope this helps Zach!

guest blogging travel

Thanks for the advice, I am the newbie for the travel blogger. Hope can glance through my website.

guest blogging travel

Great advice and the guest posting pitch template will come in useful too. Thanks for a great site 🙂

guest blogging travel

Brilliant! Exactly what I’ve been looking for at the perfect time 🙂 Thanks for being so resourceful

guest blogging travel

Adam - this is seriously the most helpful advice I have ever read in my life. I love how straight to the point you are! Thank you so much for starting this website. I am so excited to pass it onto my friends!!

Glad you’re digging it, and pass on to as many friends as you like!

guest blogging travel

Adam That was drop dead awesome advice!!! Thank you! I can’t wait to delve deeper and share some posts as a guest blogger! wooohooo! thank you!!! Lynne

Good to hear! The best thing to do is get started. Guest posting works the more you publish, so it pays to get moving now!

guest blogging travel

Yay! Just the advice I needed at just the right time. I’ve been a bit slow to get started guest posting - even though I know it’s a great thing to do - but your outline & tips help break it down and get me moving in the right direction. Thanks, Adam!

Better late than never 😉

I’ve found that guest posts work better in batches. Try and do five, ten or 50 and launch them around the same time and suddenly you’re EVERYWHERE your audience is.

Happy hunting!

guest blogging travel

great advice Adam, makes me want to start writing this instant. I’ve always loved Hemingway’s advice on writing drunk and editing sober… but the 10+2*5 is new to me. thanks again for the posting!

Hi Brandy, glad you like getting drunk. And writing. But not editing. That is good.

That’s my best Hemingway impression 😉

guest blogging travel

Adam, I thank google for landing me here with the keyword “top travel blogs with guest posts”. I really am glad that I landed here. You have an awesome blog and this killer technique! Just the right one I was looking for! Well, I am sort of a newbie in the blogging world and needed to get my new website some visibility. Got to know about guest posts and started looking for help, next thing I landed here.. 🙂 Now, I am all set to use this technique. I am will let you know how it works. Thank you for a great advice!

guest blogging travel

Adam, thanks for writing this. It’s a great, well thought out post. I have found that getting guest posts within Travel Blogs to be very difficult in the past, so this has helped massively. I especially like the 10 + 2 * 5 tip, I have spent at times hours writing an OK post, simply because I was stuck. Moving away and coming back is a great idea for staying fresh and give yourself a chance to think it through.

guest blogging travel

I love to travel a lot but have never got around writing a travel blog. You have got some awesome tips there. Guest Posting is the best way to build authority backlinks. I have a Dating and Relationship Blog with over 50 Guest Bloggers and I have build a good rapport with many of them.

guest blogging travel

Writing travel blogs is my first choice to write a blog. I m planning to start writing in travel blog. Thanks for sharing this useful list of blogs which allow guest posts.

guest blogging travel

Hi, I require some travel blogs for doing guest post having minimum pr 2 and minimum domain authority 20. If anyone have such travel blogs or sites please inform me at: alfred.smith8301(at)gmail(dot)com.

guest blogging travel

Hey adam! A great article! I keep hearing about guest posting but now I actually understand how it works. Thanks.

guest blogging travel

Thanks Adam for putting together this article, the travel blog list is useful too.

guest blogging travel

hi adam, good tips. Just one favor. can you give out a list of travel blogs which do accept guest posts!

guest blogging travel

You can google search the following to get started: travel “guest post” OR travel “guest contribution”. Hope this helps. 😉

guest blogging travel

guest blogging travel

Nice! I really like your post…Your travel blog is just superb…

guest blogging travel

Thanks AnwerAshif

guest blogging travel

There are a lot of ” I left my job, I am a hero and you can pay me loads of money to be in my site” posts… when you look for help launching your travel brand…. hmmmm, not really helpful. Your post above, yes… 100% helpful, so thanks for that. I am adapting your template today.

Ps. Look out for the email about the typo soon 🙂 🙂 I just need to find it first 🙂 🙂

guest blogging travel

Great article, and so very helpful. You mention that you should put links to the most important posts. My blog is brand new and has no posts that have a lot of traffic. So, should I then just pick my favorite posts?

guest blogging travel

Hi Adam, I like your post since it gives me an alternative way of getting back-links. I’m newbie to this and I’ve to hone up my writing skill first before I try this guest posting. A post would be alright but 50 might be a nightmare LOL.

guest blogging travel

This is an amazing post, thank you. I had intended to launch my new site June 1, 2015, but after reading this I’m going to take a step back and create a new strategy focusing on guest posting. When I do launch the site, I’ll include a link to this page. Thanks!

50+ Travel Blogs that Accept Guest Posts 2023

Editor

Exploring travel blogs that accept guest posts? Look no more. Here is the list.

Travel blogs play a very vital role in helping people know where they want to go next on vacation. Travel Blogs signifies the good things and the bad things about a particular place that the writer has visited.

The person who has already visited the place suggests places to visit, things to try, hotels to stay in, places to eat at and great places to take pictures. Now, a thing that makes travel blogs even more useful and understanding is the guest posting.

What is Guest Posting?

travel blogs that accept guest posts

Guest Posting means to write someone else’s website or blog. Guest Posting can be very helpful as the people who experienced the same things that the writer has written about in the article can tell how their experience went regarding the matter. More opinions are always better and the most popular of the opinions can be relied upon, then.

Some Benefits of Guest Blogging

Guest blogging is also very beneficial to the original blogger too as it will increase the traffic on their blogs and people will more enthusiastically visit their blogs if they find many opinions there; one is more likely to believe on popular opinions instead of a single opinion.

Guest Posting can help multiple bloggers built stronger relationships amongst themselves and with their audiences and eventually come up with something very new and creative every time they work together.

In beginning, one might feel insecure in allowing guest posts, but eventually they will feel that it is obviously helpful for them instead of harmful.

The common fear in allowing the feature is that the audience might shift to the guests’ blogs from yours if  guest is writing better than you or is providing much more authentic reviews than you, but the audience will look forward to visiting your page as well as the guests’ posts if they find authentic reviews there because in reality, it is your blog that exposed them to that guest post in the first place. Therefore, it is always good to keep the floor open for discussion and debate.

A word of caution is that traveling industry is very subjective in nature; you might find something very attractive that another person might find very dry and boring. Therefore, the guest posts can conflict with your blogs a lot and those are not facts that are being debated over; they are opinions of different types of people who visited the same place at different times with different people. Difference in opinion is inevitable!

10 Travel Blogs Looking for Guest Posts

By: Author Guest Blogger

Posted on Last updated: July 28, 2020

Writing from the road (Koh Phangan, Thailand).

Writing from the road (Koh Phangan, Thailand).

I'm trying to grow my blog and I'm guessing because you are reading this, that you are too.

Like me, you have probably been told that guest posting is a great way to showcase your writing, get the word out about your website, and improve search engine rankings.

As a backpacker, I recognize that every single item I buy will not only subtract from my travel budget but will also add to the weight of the pack I'm toting around on my back.

The same logic can be applied to the hours spent researching good places to offer up our writing.

Every hour spent in research is an hour lost posting to our own blogs so when I found 12 travel blogs looking for guest posts I shared them with my readers and freed up the night for something else.

Later I realized I had still missed a trick. I should have guest posted the article about guest posting.

This time I have not made the same mistake with the following ten blogs that would be interested in your guest writing.

In the Know Traveler

ITKT promotes original stories, blogs, and features written by seasoned pros and articulate novices alike.

Substantial submission guidelines and a checklist for writers are readily available and for some articles and blog posts a small payment is made.

Past guest posts:

  • Haji Ali Masjid in the Mumbai Monsoon
  • Malta, the Cart Ruts Mystery

Indie Travel Podcast

Traveling full time, Craig and Linda have built ITP into an excellent multimedia travel site attracting around 20,000 unique visitors a month.

  • Andes Mountains Adventure Train

Anil promises to read and consider every submission he receives to his large repository of ways and gadgets vagabonds can use to save money, stay in touch, and make the most of their travels.

  • Remedy for Post Travel Blues: 7 Ways to Bring Your Trip Back Home
  • Photo Essay: Ecuador's Crazy New Year's Celebration

The World is my Jungle Gym

Brendan van Son's site is meant to allow the reader to close their eyes and see the sights, smell the scents, and feel the emotion as if they were there alongside the writer.

Guest posts are accepted if not necessarily encouraged.

  • The Photo Vulture: 5 Steps to Avoid Becoming a Bird of Prey
  • San Andres, Lost in the Caribbean

Wild Junket

Nellie Huang is a fairly prolific guest blogger herself and her own blog welcomes the writings of others for the Your Wildest Adventure series.

  • Your Wildest Adventure: Escaping Robbers Cave
  • Your Wildest Adventure: Lost in the Lava Fields

About the Author: Shane Donovan writes about working and traveling around the world in The Working Traveller . He also edits the Jobs Abroad Bulletin.

Guest Blogging: The Definitive Guide

Brian Dean

Written by Brian Dean

Guest Blogging: The Definitive Guide

This guide contains everything you need to know about guest blogging.

How to start.

How to scale.

And how to get your guest post featured on HUGE authority sites in 2023.

With that, here are the steps:

Step #1: Find Guest Post Targets

Step #2: get your guest post ready, step #3: send your pitch, step #4: write your guest post, step #5: follow up, bonus step #1: the expanded guest post, bonus step #2: guest blogging pro tips, about the author.

Hey, I’m Brian Dean.

Over the last few years I’ve published over 200 guest posts.

Some of these guest posts were on smaller niche sites like this:

niche site guest post

But I’ve also published guest posts on HUGE blogs in the marketing space, like the Buffer blog:

Brian&#039;s guest post on the Buffer blog

I’ve even had my content published on authority sites like Entrepreneur and Inc.

Inc. & Entrepreneur – Guest posts

Needless to say, these guest posts have generated thousands of targeted visitors to my site.

traffic increase referral traffic

(Not to mention powerful backlinks that have significantly improved my Google rankings.)

And in this guide, I’m going to reveal exactly how I did it.

Your first step is to find a site to guest post on.

Here are 7 proven ways to find sites that accept guest posts:

Technique #1: Google Search Strings

Looking for something besides the typical “keyword” + “write for us” search string?

I’ve got you covered.

Here’s a list of search strings that I personally use to find guest posting opportunities:

Your Keyword “guest post” Your Keyword “write for us” Your Keyword “guest article” Your Keyword “guest post opportunities” Your Keyword “this is a guest post by” Your Keyword “contributing writer” Your Keyword “want to write for” Your Keyword “submit blog post” Your Keyword “contribute to our site” Your Keyword “guest column” Your Keyword “submit content” Your Keyword “submit your content” Your Keyword “submit post” Your Keyword “This post was written by” Your Keyword “guest post courtesy of ” Your Keyword “guest posting guidelines” Your Keyword “suggest a post” Your Keyword “submit an article” Your Keyword “contributor guidelines” Your Keyword “contributing writer” Your Keyword “submit news” Your Keyword “become a guest blogger “Your Keyword “guest blogger” Your Keyword “guest posts wanted” Your Keyword “looking for guest posts” Your Keyword “guest posts wanted” Your Keyword “guest poster wanted” Your Keyword “accepting guest posts” Your Keyword “writers wanted” Your Keyword “articles wanted” Your Keyword “become an author” Your Keyword “become guest writer” Your Keyword “become a contributor” Your Keyword “submit guest post” Your Keyword “submit an article” Your Keyword “submit article” Your Keyword “guest author” Your Keyword “send a tip” Your Keyword inurl: “guest blogger” Your Keyword inurl: “guest post” allintitle: Your Keyword + guest post

Technique #2: Google Reverse Image Search

This is cool:

First , find someone in your niche that writes a lot of guest posts.

For example, Noah Kagan tends to contribute to a lot of blogs in the marketing space.

HubSpot – Author – Noah Kagan

Second , grab the URL of the headshot they use in their author bio:

Copy image address

Finally , pop that into Google reverse image search:

Google – Search by image – Noah Kagan

Boom! You get a list of places they’ve guest posted… presented to you on a silver platter:

Search by image results – Noah Kagan

Technique #3: Twitter Search

Twitter search is an untapped goldmine.

In fact, I’ve found some AMAZING guest blogging opportunities on Twitter…

…opportunities that I would have never found in Google.

(Also, Twitter results are fresher than Google’s index. This means you can find sites that are actively on the hunt for guest posts.)

Here’s how to do it:

First, head over to Twitter search and enter a basic guest post search string like “[keyword]” guest post.

Twitter search – Paleo guest post

Then, look through the results to find guest posting targets:

Paleo guest post tweets

Within 5 seconds I found a handful of high-quality sites that accept guest posts, like this one:

Paleo guest post opportunity

Technique #4: Reverse Engineer Your Competitor’s Backlinks

Here’s where you reverse engineer the backlinks of a site in your niche.

When you do, you can uncover a GOLDMINE of guest posting opportunities.

For example, I noticed that this site was ranking for a lot of keywords in my niche:

Sujan Patel – Homepage

So I took the homepage URL and popped it into Semrush .

Semrush – Sujan Patel

And I got a list of all their backlinks.

Sujan Patel – Backlinks

Most of their backlinks didn’t come from guest posts.

But a good chunk did.

In fact, within about 5 minutes I found (literally) 10 high-quality sites that they’ve guested posted on:

Sujan Patel guest posts

The best part about this strategy is that you can find sites that aren’t openly advertising the fact that they accept guest posts .

(In other words, sites that DON’T have a “write for us” page.)

But thanks to reverse engineering, you can find these sites with ease.

Technique #5: AllTop.com

If only there was a place that listed the best blogs on the internet.

Oh, wait there is !

It’s called AllTop.com.

Just head over to AllTop, find your topic, and you’ll get a list of the best blogs in your niche:

alltop results

Of course, you won’t be able to submit a guest post to every single site listed in AllTop.

But with enough legwork, you can find a handful that do accept guest posts.

Technique #6: Blog Comment Bonanza

Warning: This is an advanced guest posting strategy.

So if you’ve never published a guest post before, skip this technique for now.

With that, here’s how it works:

You’ve probably noticed that other bloggers comment on your guest posts.

For example, here’s a guest post I published a while back:

Example guest post

As you can see, a handful of people commented on my guest post:

Comments on a guest post

And these weren’t just random people… these were folks that run blogs in my niche.

So after I replied to their comment, I sent each of them this script:

Hey [Name] ,

Thanks for taking the time to comment on my guest post at [Website] .

I never thought of the fact that [Insert something they said in the comment] .

That’s a good point.

Anyway, I actually have another guest post idea that would be perfect for your site.

It’s called: [Guest Post Title]

I could have it sent to you this week.

Either way, thanks again for your insights!

Best, [Your First Name]

And that simple email script got me an awesome “insider” guest post opportunity from a site that didn’t have a “write for us” page.

Why does this work so well?

Well…

Someone that leaves a comment on your guest posts obviously liked your content.

(Otherwise, they wouldn’t have taken the time to leave a comment.)

So as long as you send them an amazing post, they’ll usually say “Yes!”.

#7: Lists of Sites That Accept Guest Posts

Why spend hours searching for guest posting opportunities when other people have already done the hard work for you?

For example, here’s a huge list of 300+ guest posting sites that someone made:

guest post list

This post even provides stats on each site on the list:

website stats

This is a good list to get you started.

But if you want even MORE sites that accept guest posts, here are 4 lists that I use whenever I’m looking for sites to guest post on:

List of 200+ Websites & Blogs That Accept Guest Posts

150+ Sites to Guest Post

List of 700+ Guest Posting Sites

List of Guest Blogging Sites (140+ best sites)

That should keep you busy for a while 🙂

Now that you’ve found a site to guest post on, it’s time for step #2…

At this point, you have a list of sites that accept guest posts.

Now it’s time for the next step.

In this step, I’ll show you how to find sites that are a good fit for your guest post.

You’ll also learn how to “warm-up” blog owners.

Let’s get started…

Separate Winners and Losers

First, you need to separate the wheat from the chaff.

In other words, you need to find sites that are worth writing a guest post for.

To be clear:

This isn’t about being overly picky.

In fact, if you’re just starting out, you actually want to focus on blogs that aren’t that popular.

These smaller blogs will be MUCH more likely to accept your guest post.

Then, as you get more posts under your belt, you can level up to more popular sites.

Either way, you want to guest post on sites that:

  • Have an authoritative link profile
  • Are in your niche (or a related niche)
  • ONLY post high quality content
  • Can bring you targeted traffic
  • Won’t bury your link in a tiny author bio box
  • Have a significant amount of social media followers

For example, a while back I published this guest post on the Buffer blog :

my guest post

And when you look at that site, you realize that it checks all of these boxes…

Strong link profile? Check.

In my niche? Check.

Significant social following? Check.

Then it’s time to…

Warm Up Your Targets

If you want to guest post on an authority site, you want to get on that site’s radar screen… before you pitch.

That way, when you reach out, they’ll say:

“Oh yeah, that’s Jim, the guy who leaves all those awesome comments.”

1. Share on Social Media: Want to get your name etched on a blogger’s brain? Share their stuff on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest:

twitter share

2. Blog Comment: Take a few minutes to leave legitimately insightful and helpful comments on their site. Here’s a real-life example:

Awesome comment

3. Email Them: If you’re feeling frisky, email the site owner a week or two before your pitch just to tell them how a specific piece of content helped you:

Hi [Name] ,

Your recent post on [Topic] really helped me out.

Specifically, I used [Technique or tip from their post] . And it [Results] !

So I just wanted to send you a quick email to say: “Thank you!”.

Thanks again, [Your First Name]

Find The PERFECT Guest Post Topic

Here’s exactly how to find the perfect guest post topic:

1. Check out the site’s most popular posts.

These are sometimes listed in the blog’s sidebar:

Nerd Fitness – Sidebar with best content

Or you can use a tool (like Semrush ) that lists any blog’s best-performing stuff:

Semrush – Top pages – Backlinko

No matter how you find them, these topics are proven to generate shares, traffic and comments.

So when you send someone a guest post on that topic, they’ll say: “Content on that topic always crushes it on our blog. Perfect.”

2. Next, head over to BuzzSumo .

This is an awesome tool for finding trending topics in your niche:

buzzsumo

Why is this important?

Well, bloggers want to publish posts that are on hot, trending topics.

(Because it means more traffic for them.)

So when you offer them content on a hot topic, they’re MUCH more likely to accept.

3. Check out their other guest posts.

What have other people posted already? This will give you an idea of what the site owner looks for when vetting posts.

For example, when I looked at the Buffer blog, I noticed that most of their guest posts were case studies.

Buffer blog case studies

So I decided to send them a case study for my guest post.

4. Review The Site’s Guest Post Guidelines

I know you have better things to do with your life than to read a site’s list of guest post guidelines.

I get that.

But some bloggers have really, really specific guidelines.

Some are there to standardize their posts.

Others are there to make sure people actually read them .

Either way, it’s important that you take them to heart.

Because there’s nothing worse than writing up a 2000-word masterpiece… only to have it rejected because of a word count limit.

Imagine for a second that you’re the owner of a growing authority site.

You’ve got posts to write, tweets to tweet, and an overflowing inbox.

How are you going to react when you get a generic guest post pitch?

Yup! You’re gonna hit the delete button as fast as possible.

Here’s a battle-tested email template to use instead:

I’m a long-time reader. You may have noticed my comment on your post on [Article] (awesome article by the way).

I’m writing to you because I’d love to contribute a guest post on [Website] .

I’ve been brainstorming some topics that I think your readers would get a ton of value from:

[Idea #1] [Idea #2] [Idea #3]

I’ll make sure the piece overflows with information that can’t be found anywhere else.

To give you an idea of the quality I’ll bring to your site, here’s a link to a guest post that I recently published on [Other Website] .

Cheers, [Your First Name]

Here’s what makes this email template so effective:

  • Starts off with something specific about THEIR SITE
  • Short and sweet (<150 words)
  • Gives them 3 specific topics to choose from (less work for them)
  • Touches on your experience and published work

And now it’s time for…

So a blogger is accepted your pitch.

Now you need to actually send them something.

Here’s how to do it…

My Patented “2 Tier System”

There are only so many hours in a day.

You can’t write a 3000-word ultimate guide for every site out there.

That’s why you should separate your targets into two tiers:

Tier 1: These are the top 10-20 undisputed authority sites in your niche. Sites that you can name off the top of your head. Sites you actually visit, read and follow.

Tier 2: Tier 2 sites that are blogs that are acceptable enough to warrant a high-quality guest post. But they’re not big enough to spend a week writing mind-blowing content for.

With that, let’s cover what to send Tier 1 and Tier 2 sites.

Tier 1 Content

Content for tier 1 sites should be as good or better than what you post on your own blog.

I’m talking mind-blowing pillar content that forces the hand of the site owner to hit “publish”.

Content that changes minds, sparks conversation, and spurs action.

Content that could appear on the homepage of Life Hacker or The Huffington Post.

Remember: Authority sites are authorities because they only post quality stuff. Period.

And they’re not going to drop their standards just because you commented on their site a few times.

You really need to bring it. Here’s how…

Here are 4 things you need to include in your Tier 1 guest post content:

1. Send a System: If you look at the best content on any site you’ll notice that they have one thing in common:

They lay out a complete step-by-step system for reaching an outcome.

Why? Systems have a MUCH higher perceived value than a set of random tips.

For example, with my Buffer guest post, I showed people the exact steps I used to increase my blog’s conversion rate by 134%:

Exact steps in guest post

That way, people could follow the steps from the post… and improve their conversion rate.

No theory. No BS. Just a step-by-step process that anyone could follow.

2. Length is Strength: Longer articles have a higher perceived value than short posts.

That’s why I shoot for AT LEAST 2500 words for tier 1 sites.

For example, my Buffer post is a staggering 2,993 words.

But as you can see, this isn’t a bunch of fluff. It’s 2,993 words of insanely actionable content:

actionable content

3. Custom Screenshots, Flowcharts and Images: Include lots of screenshots and other visuals. These help you stand out… and add lots of meaty value to the post.

As you can see, I made sure to include A TON of screenshots in my Buffer guest post.

Buffer guest posts screenshots

4. Internal Links: Internal links are GREAT for SEO . So make sure to link to some of the site’s other content in your guest post.

This shows that went the extra mile to make your guest post as valuable as possible.

For example, I linked to a handful of other posts on the Buffer blog:

internal links

Yes, it took some extra effort to find posts from their blog to link to. But in the end, it showed the Buffer team that I actually cared.

Tier 2 Content

Tier 2 sites deserve some love too.

If they’re on your list of targets, the blog must have something going for them.

While I don’t go crazy for these sites… I still send something of value.

It just isn’t quite as amazing as the stuff I send Tier 1 sites.

Here are some things I do to get the most from every guest post:

1. Actively Respond to Comments: Don’t post and run. Take the time to respond to people’s comments as they roll in. In fact, I usually leave a comment right after my post goes live to show everyone that I’m hanging out to answer comments:

guest post blog comment

Then, I do my best to reply to all comments that come in within the first 48 hours:

comment reply

2. Promote Your Guest Post On Social Media:

Brian – Social media promoting tweet

This is a win-win-win: The site you guest posted on gets some traffic. And you share an awesome blog post with your community.

3. Send a Thank You Note: I usually send Tier 1 sites a quick follow-up email letting them know I appreciated the opportunity. Again: this is something that no one does . So this little thank you note really helps you stand out. It also keeps the line open for the next time you want to guest post on their site.

4. Blog Comment Bonanza: As I mentioned way back in Step #1, I’ll sometimes reach out to people that commented on my guest post… and ask to publish a guest post on their site.

Yes, traffic and links are great.

But building your email list is an underrated benefit of guest blogging.

And to build your email list with guest posting, you NEED to try the Expanded Guest Post.

It’s a 3-step process that I use to turn guest post traffic into leads (and sales).

Here’s how it works:

1. First, create a “bonus” resource.

This is something related to your guest post.

It could be an ebook.

It could be a video.

The specific format doesn’t matter.

What’s important is that it’s on the same topic as your guest post.

For example, here’s the bonus I made for my Buffer guest post:

bonus tips

As you can see, it’s a smattering of tips that I didn’t have room for in the guest post.

(And all of these tips are related to my guest post topic: building your email list.)

I also threw in a few PDF checklists about list building.

bonus checklists

2. Next, create a page specifically for people that read your guest post.

This page should offer your bonus section in exchange for an email.

Here’s mine:

squeeze page

(Feel free to copy it.)

3. Lastly, pitch your bonus section at the end of your guest post.

Here’s an example:

guest post conclusion

And this strategy worked out GREAT.

In fact, I build an extra 188 email subscribers using this simple strategy on my Buffer guest post:

email conversions

(And as you can see in that screenshot, the page I sent people to converted at 37.8%. Not bad!)

Let’s cap things off with a handful of pro tips that I’ve picked up over the years.

1. Use Comments to Estimate Referral Traffic

How do you know how much traffic you’ll get from your guest post?

If you think “bigger site=more traffic”, you’re wrong.

I’ll explain…

A few years ago I published a guest post on Pat Flynn’s blog .

brian guest post

Around that time I also published a guest post on one of the biggest marketing sites online.

(I don’t want to throw shade on anyone. So I won’t name the site.)

Pat’s site is popular. But this marketing site is HUGE.

Which one do you think sent me the most traffic?

Pat’s blog… by a mile:

referral traffic

And when I look at how many comments each blog tends to get, it’s not even close.

(Pat’s blog gets 50+ comments per post. The marketing site? Around 10 comments per post.)

This isn’t an isolated example.

From publishing over 200 guest posts, I’ve noticed a consistent pattern:

More comments=more traffic.

The reason?

Big sites get lots of visitors . But they don’t have many readers .

And the best way to estimate readers? See how many comments their blog posts get.

Bottom line? The more comments a blog gets, the more traffic you can expect from your guest post.

2. Include a Contextual Backlink

As Google’s Matt Cutts famously proclaimed , Google probably ignores links in guest post author bio sections, like this:

author bio

That’s why you want to include at least one contextual backlink in your guest post.

To give you an idea of what I mean, here’s a contextual link from one of my guest posts:

contextual link

As you can see, my link fits naturally in the content. It’s not remotely spammy or forced.

3. Guest Post Using Infographics

This is a black belt strategy that’s helped me get featured on authority news sites and blogs.

This video will walk you through the entire process:

4. Use Author Bio Footprints

Here’s a great way to find “hidden” guest post opportunities.

First, find someone in your niche that’s a prolific guest poster.

popular blogger

Then, grab a snippet of text from their bio.

text snippet

And pop that text into Google (in quotes).

Google search – Neil Patel

And – bam! – you’ve just found dozens of sites to guest post on.

Google SERP – Neal Patel

4. Sell Yourself In Your Author Bio

Let’s face it:

Most author bios are BORING.

And that’s one of the main reasons that most guest posts generate so few visitors .

Average referral traffic from guest article

Instead, your author bio should make people WANT to click over and visit your site.

For example, here’s an author bio from one of my guest posts:

another author bio

See how I outline WHY my site is worth visiting?

That’s one of the main reasons that this guest post sent me a boatload of traffic:

traffic from a blog

So that’s my step-by-step guide to guest blogging.

Now I’d like to turn it over to you:

Which tactic from this guide are you going to use first?

Are you ready to write better author bios?

Or maybe you want to find guest posting opportunities with Google reverse image search.

Either way, let me know in the comments section below.

Fantastic article! Newbies should remember that writing posts just for backlinks is a bad idea. On the Warrior Forum, article marketers like Bill Platt never write unique content for a blog unless it has massive amount of traffic. Also, when sending traffic, don’t forget to put an opt-in form.

Thanks! You’re right: I didn’t emphasize traffic enough in the guide. But that’s super-important. The best links AREN’T on high PR pages…they’re links that also send you traffic. Good call Andrii.

Great article….guest blogging is such a good way to grow a business and I am glad you are sharing with people. I really like the tips on warming up your prospects!

Thanks Jon! I tried to emphasize the relationship factor because lots of people overlook that and simply try to force their guest post onto other bloggers.

wooow.. fantastic write up man! this is exactly what gurus call “epic stuff” nice write up!!!

Thanks, Kingsley! That’s exactly what I set out to do.

This is exactly what I was looking. Thanks for sharing this.Ii am going to apply what you suggested and let you know my experience with you.

Glad to hear you found it helpful. Let me know how it goes.

Really good article Brian. I found a lot of great tips in this article (and especially in your 17 Untapped Backling Sources article). You are helping me stray away from the “easy” way of building links to the way that actually works. Thanks!

Thanks Adrian! Glad to hear I could help you out. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Very definitive, however I’ve come to think of comment marketing as a sought of micro guest blogging opportunity in that the only benefit of guest blogging that you miss out on is reputation building…but even that you can achieve by a great comment. What are your thoughts on this?

Great point, Jonathan. You’re right: some of my blog comments on popular sites bring in MORE traffic than some of my guest posts. It makes me wonder why I waste my time guest blogging. Then I look at my analytics — see the difference in conversions — and start banging out another guest post.

In my experience, blog comment traffic doesn’t convert nearly as well as guest post referral traffic. And from an SEO point of view, a guest post also gives you a dofollow link…something a blog comment usually can’t do. But I’m glad you brought up blog commenting, because you’re 100% right: blog commenting is an underrated traffic strategy. If you’re the first or second comment on a popular post you can usually get some decent traffic.

Very well said Brian, I’m thinking of writing a whole new blogpost on the subject. PS//I find your titles very captivating and hooking 🙂

My pleasure, Jonathon. Let me know when you publish that post. I’d love to check it out.

Brian, I’ve seen some tutorials on guest blogging that were for sale and pretty good! The info you shared here ranks right up there with the guides being sold – THANKS for being so comprehensive! TJ

Thanks TJ! I tried to make it the best one on the web :-). Please let me know if you have any questions about the process.

Brian – Do you recommend a particular Guest Post service that is reputable? For example, I provide the content and seller publishes the articles on a quality site with decent domain authority?

btw… I always enjoy reading & watching your content.

Hi Daniel, I haven’t personally tried any so I can’t really recommend a specific service there.

unbelivable how deep you go into the theme – even im german part of europe / switzerland, i love to read stuff in english like this. bad, most of the ressources mentioned here are target for english content. you hardly find really good blogs in german 🙁

Thanks Mike! I’m moving to Berlin this week so maybe I’ll pick up some German and bang out a German post 🙂

A great guide to guest posting. I just signed up for MBG and used Backlinko as a referral. I am diving into the site now, it look great!

Thanks Adam 🙂 MBG is great!

Tweeted, Liked, +1ed. 🙂

Such an EPIC article on guest blogging. I have bookmarked this as I was not able to read it completely. So going to read it later.

Thanks for this awesome guide.

PS: I am reading “Advance Guide to Link Building” on Quick Sprout and found you. 🙂

Thanks for sharing my guide, Kulwant! Send me an email if you have any questions about guest blogging.

Great article Brian. I actually read this article and focused primarily on the pitch. I love the way you crafted the email and the brevity that you used. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Praverb. You’re right on there: the pitch HUGE for sites that don’t have a “write for us” page. Let me know how it works out for you.

Brian, Some great tips and definitely some things I have overlooked! Becky

Thanks for reading, Becky. Let me know if you have any questions.

one of my fav’s is “My Guest Posts” + keyword as a search operator to find awesome guest opportunities. nice list! swiping this for sure!

That’s definitely an underrated search string, Miss Renfoe (and one of my favorites as well).

Great information presented in a way that makes it extremely easy to scan for specific information when checking back. Many articles on this subject make it a real pain to search through for a specific step.

Thanks McKenzie! I tried to make it easy to follow (and to skim!). Let me know if you have any questions about anything in the guide.

Great Post. I have been trying to guest post for a while with limited success, but will have another go using some of your methods.

Thanks Tom! This should definitely help you land top quality guest post placements. Keep me posted 🙂

It’s definitely the best Guide I read for Guest Posting so far.

You may also consider adding “send a tip” to your Search Strings above. I’ve seen many websites use it and quick Google search will prove that.

Really glad to hear that, Sameh. Thanks for the insights, I’ve added your search string to the guide 🙂

Brian, I am starting my guest blogging campaign from next months, and you have explained each crucial point in very detailed and smart way.

I am going to use your tips to get quality blogs for doing guest blogging and going to pitch them as suggested by you.

Can you please give me link of any scrapebox tutorial where I can do all these search in easy way?

Thanks a lot for your valuable tips.

Glad to hear that, Kulwant. Yes, actually this tutorial is really good: https://www.quicksprout.com/the-advanced-guide-to-link-building-chapter-8/

Is it OK for people to send me money for putting up their words and links?

That’s up to you, Jack. It’s obviously a risky thing to do though…

What’s up Brian, What if you just sent a high quality, fully exclusive article to a high traffic blog owner? Surely if it was good enough they wouldn’t be able to refuse using it as a guest post… Wouldn’t that strategy work?

Hey Lee. That can work depending on the blogger’s guest post policy. For example, I don’t accept any guest posts. So even if someone sent me the meaning of life I wouldn’t publish it. But you’re right: if you send someone an amazing post and they have a history of accepting guest contributions you should be good as gold 🙂

Haha thanks Brian, that actually made me laugh out loud 😉 Is there a reason you don’t accept guest posts?

I don’t accept guest posts because I view Backlinko as my personal blog.

I am just new to this world of guest posting, but recently I have been reading that guest posting era has come to an end, can you give you thoughts about it.

If you do it right you can still guest blog, Malik.

Thanks for the read. Everyone thinks that guest blogging is looked down upon, however if done properly then it shouldn’t be a problem. SEO companies who employ people to submit x amount of guest post for their clients per week are failing and yes, those websites will get hit.

You’re welcome, Deniz. That’s absolutely true: like anything in SEO (or in life), it’s all about how you do it.

Hi Brian, Superb article! I read a lot of articles about linking building but none of them is so engaging as yours, thank you so much.

I have a question. Does Link building using comments is work? There still a lot of people trying to post comments on websites. Does this strategy still works or it is considered as spam?

Thank you so much for writing this article. I know that it takes time and effort.

Thanks Marcelo. No, blog comments don’t help with SEO.

A question about the guest posts… Would you build any backlinks, like high PR social bookmarks to your guest posts to increase their authority? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

I actually wouldn’t do that. If you get a link from a nice authority site there’s really no need.

Brian, Thanks for the information. As someone who is new to the SEO world trying to get my website to rank for many highly competitive keywords, being able to read your advice and get your help has made these very difficult tasks a little bit easier. Thank you.

Happy to help, Tracy 🙂

Hi Brian, i have read in many parts that the new algorithm updates tend to penalize all guest posts, if that were true, what should we do?

You want to focus on writing for quality, relevant sites Maurizio.

I’ve always heard about guest blogging, but I never made time to figure out how to really do it. Thanks for sharing these tips, that are sure to come in handy. But my main concern is how do you get past the “gate-keepers” that would allow the content to be posted? And how do you keep up with writing so much original content?

Leo, you have to bring something awesome to the table 🙂 If you use the scripts in my post you’ll be ahead of 99% of the other people that pitch gatekeepers.

I am new in SEO and looking for high authority guest blogging guide and found your guide. Keep rocking and thanks for sharing such a informative post.

You’re welcome, Kritika. Happy to help 🙂

I have been doing guest blogging but in most of the cases, I was far away from getting a published guest post. Even there were some problems to find good blogs to submit guest posts. But your article has solved almost all my problems. I have read this article and applied all the things you mentioned here. The result is really better and great for me. Thanks for sharing such great tips with us.

You’re welcome, Sudip

This is undoubted the biggest search string for guest post I have ever seen. Thank you so much for all this valuable information. I have bookmarked it!

Thanks Kieran.

Thanks a lot Brian, for being so enlightening. As a starter into guest blogging, I was looking for a DIY guide for the same, which I believe I have laid hands on.

Happy to help Pragya 🙂

Brian, seriously. You are a legend. the only site i actually feel legit reading about seo etc.

Thanks Quinn!

Wonderful article! Thanks you Brian for such detailed guidance.

You’re welcome, Edward.

Very detailed guide, thanks for this Brian!

You’re welcome, Jason. Let me know how the strategies work out for you.

Brain. First off. Great post brother. Question: 80/20 the law of return. When dealing with most start-ups. Would you say this can apply to all businesses. regardless of the industry they are in?

Thanks Ameer. Yes, it definitely can. As long as there are blogs that write about your industry, you’re good to go.

Thanks For all the great info some of the methods are working out for me but having a very hard time in my industry. I have a new site in robotic pool cleaner parts that I am trying to rank cause my old site was destroyed by old black hat seo tatics.

John, this should definitely get your new site on the right track.

I found your post very interesting and educational, I took some notes and will using it for my next guest blogging. I am still learning this aspect of blogging. Thanks for sharing!

Sounds good, Timothy. Let me know how it goes.

Thank you Brian!! Always very interesting your post.

You’re welcome, Paolo.

Excellent post brain. Although most of newbie bloggers think guest blogging is dead now but the reality is different. This guide is another proof of that.

Thanks Bilal.

Hey buddy thanks for this awesome post. I will start a guest blogging campaign in few days and I want to know how to build the correct links. Which is better to insert a link inside the body of the guest post which links to one of my articles or to set the home page under the author bio.

This is one of the most exceptional post i have read about guest posting. you really cleared thw grounds and simplified the entire process.

Please can you drop me a template of a perfect bio sentence? and secondly, is it wise to link back to a soon coming page? so as to generate list?

thanks Brian

Thanks for the info, a really good read – I agree, this content is comparable to programs you can buy. Just have to get out there and guest blog more now!

Great stuff! a question, using that strategy to get backlinks, is it not to much work for just one backlink? or is it welcomed to use same articles on different websites? (maybe slightly rewritten?)

I’ve have this page bookmarked and check in on it at least once a week. Just wanted to say thanks =)

“…but I rather spend that time watching Shark Tank”

I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with you more. 😛

AWESOME post, btw! Those keyword strings are super-helpful, they’ll be run through my browser shortly.

Cheers, Jonathan

Great post! I’m going to apply this strategy right away. I’m curious though: you mentioned that you only recommend “warming up” the top tier clients due to the time commitment. This makes sense. But how would you position your pitch if you sent it cold? (i.e. if it’s for a lower-tier site that you would be happy to get a link on but don’t want to spend weeks tracking and commenting on their site.) Would the psychology be different?

Thanks! Levi

Great Article Brian. The information about building a list for guest post is very good and has made my task easy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Amazing article, Brian! Full of relevant and timely advice. This is definitely going to come in handy. We’ve offered infographics and custom graphics for guest posts before, but it never occurred to me that we could provide videos and .PDFs to REALLY make an impact to the person receiving the article. Brilliant!!!

Can’t wait to show this article to the whole team at SlideGenius 🙂 Thanks again for so kindly sharing all this information, Brian!

All the best, Mel

Hi! Brian, Superb and valuable information. I have a doubt regarding sending the post in a HTML format. Do you recomend simply going to wordpress and copying and pasting the HTML code or you use a diferente method. Second in regards including a opt in do you think this need to be talk first with the webmaster and do you have any tips in how to negotiate the opt – in. Thank you very much!

If you send an article on “10 Health Benefits of Beef” to a vegan blog… LMAO

Not even finished with the article yet, but I’m enjoying your style of writing a lot. ‘use your noggin’, ‘feeling frisky’ etc… This is good stuff.

Sorry for the spam, but I want to ask how you judge the quality of a blog. I’m assuming social shares and # of comments would be the biggest factors, assuming the blog is on topic and related to your audience. I was reading earlier somewhere that when starting out you want to pick a blog with around 5-10 comments so you can gain experience and have a “resume” for when you contact more successful blogs. Would you agree with this or just go straight for the big shots?

I’m guessing it wouldn’t hurt to go after both, and if I get rejected I can always ask again once I got some stuff on their competitors blogs that they’d be jealous of. 🙂

You are literally the man Brian. Superb – have been a subscriber for long time but just re-reading everything. Keep hustling.

Why Write Guest Posts?

Why guest blogging is important? Guest posts allow you to share experiences, make a name for yourself, showcase your expertise, help other travelers with advice, get free PR, reach a big audience, and get their feedback. You will receive a mention on popular guest post websites and a link to your website, blog, or social network. 

There are many travel blogs accepting guest posts, you just need to choose the one that fits your content best. 

It's better to choose travel guest posting sites that have high "domain authority", consistent traffic and accept a free guest post. My website currently has a domain authority of 31 (on MOZ) and around 40,000-50,000 monthly visitors. 

Requirements for Travel Guest Posts on The Alternative Travel Guide

How to write a guest post for the Alternative Travel Guide? I accept guest posts that inspire travel and are useful to my readers. 

Your guest post travel blog should contain practical information and be accompanied by original photos taken by you. I do not accept stock photos.

When you are writing a guest blog post, keep this in mind all the time and ask yourself: "How can this article help people?" 

I have to admit, when I first started my blogging journey, I was selfish. I only wrote about things that were interesting to me personally, I just talked about the places I visited. But when I started putting the reader first, things changed for the better. I started learning more about the place I was writing about, I started researching information and gathering the most useful data for my reader. And you know what? I finally felt happy doing travel blogging.

A Step-By-Step Guide to Guest Blogging

Guest posting (or guest blogging) is one of the ways of attracting traffic and improving your website ranking in Google. This article will help you understand what a good guest post looks like, how to write one and how to look for guest blogging opportunities to build your authority as an influencer.

guest blogging travel

What Is Guest Posting

Guest posting is a way to attract traffic to one website by writing content for another one. For example:

  • 6 Social Media Marketing Attribution Models and Tools to Help Marketers
  • How to Create a Private Blog Network That Works
  • PBN Hosting Reviews: Best 10 PBN Hosting Providers 2020

Even though such articles are submitted on a voluntary basis and are not compensated, they still should be of exceptional quality and beneficial to their recipients.

Become a guest blogger to drive traffic to your website,  establish or increase your authority in the niche, contribute to your brand image and its awareness, and build a relationship with other influencers.

Who Benefits From Guest Blogging

The growing popularity of guest blog posts proves that it remains beneficial for both sides and is a great technique to grow business. Even though many people consider it a one-way street, it is not exactly true.

Indeed, the website hosting your guest post comes out ahead. Without investing time or money, it receives ready-to-use content (provided it is of high-quality, unique and useful), more keywords to establish search engine authority and a fresh perspective for its readers – escaping routine is always refreshing. But, guest bloggers acquire even more:

  • Quality traffic. Guest posts bring visitors within the niche who are more interested in the topic than random readers from search engines. According to Bamidele Onibalusi’s research , traffic sent by guest posts has a low bounce rate of 40% only, compared to the 90% rate from the Stumbleupon website.
  • Backlinks. Every aspiring blogger has a long way to go to appear on the first pages of search engine results. The key thing here is to acquire as many credible backlinks as possible, which, in turn, will strengthen your blog’s authority within Google. While many bloggers buy backlinks, you can get them for free by guest posting.
  • Brand recognition and authority. By writing posts for well-known bloggers, you will make readers associate you with these big names. Respect and recognition don’t appear overnight. Every guest post increases your exposure, and eventually, people will start visiting your blog because they have heard your name before. 
  • Become a better writer. Soley delivering articles for your own blog won’t expose you enough, while putting yourself on display for a wider audience will let you know what other people think and provide an opportunity for growth as a writer. Also, it will help build a portfolio. Once you have successfully published a few guest posts, getting other bloggers to agree to cooperate with you will be a piece of cake.
  • Get more subscribers and followers on social media. The more traffic you have, the more people are likely to subscribe to your blog or follow you on social media. Getting subscribers is essential for monetizing your blog in the future, so get as many emails as possible from the very beginning. 

How to Find Sites for Guest Posting

Where should you guest post? Before pitching a text, it is important to find a blogger who will agree to publish it. Here are some techniques on how to look for sites to submit a guest post to:

  • Type in your keyword to define the topic and then one of the following word combinations within quotation marks: “guest post,” “guest post opportunities,” “write for us,” “guest bloggers needed,” “looking for guest bloggers” etc. Such a query will bring you a list of guest blogging networks, as in the picture below. You can do the same thing on Twitter and other social networks. Here is how you can find travel bloggers to guest post for:

guest blogging travel

  • Another approach is to discover where your competitors take their backlinks from and adopt their practice. To do so, find a website within your niche, copy its URL and analyze its profile with a backlink checker.

guest blogging travel

  • Backlink profile features referring domains that have a backlink to the website you are analyzing. To find guest post opportunities, you’ll have to manually check these websites and see which ones are open to cooperation. Even though this approach takes more time, it allows you to find options that are not open for everyone.  In the picture below, you can see an example of how we were checking backlinks to the TravelBreak website.

guest blogging travel

  • Finally, you can contact bloggers in your niche and offer up your guest post to them. This technique requires preparation. Study the website and its target audience, come up with a list of topic ideas, and more. You can contact them directly or post a comment as a guest.

guest blogging travel

Whatever approach you choose, an appropriate hosting website should be bigger than yours (to help build authority), belong to the same niche, have high-quality materials and many active followers.

Only choose credible websites for the sake of your reputation, as your name will be associated with the platforms you publish on. Ideally, contact a few bloggers at once because some of them might only answer you after a while, and by doing so, you’ll have more opportunities for guest posting. 

How to Pitch

Only a well-written and proofread guest post offering a new perspective can help step up your game. Success is built on many factors, such as finding an interesting topic, doing research, delivering your text in the right format and more. The key is to provide a final product that can be published on the hosting blog without further ado or changes. All this requires a lot of work and research on your side, but also pays off in spades. Below, you’ll find the best guest blogging tips to promote your blog.

Pick a Great Idea

Once the target or targets have been chosen, it’s time to pick a topic. Needless to say, it should be in your niche so that you can provide an expert opinion and attract new readers. Here are some ideas for creating a topic for your guest post:

  • Offer your perspective on topics discussed on the hosting website. The information becomes outdated really fast, so voicing a fresh opinion might be relevant. 
  • Find an idea at the intersection of your expertise and the other blogger’s content. For example, if you normally write about traveling around Europe, while the website that will be hosting your blog post features content about solo traveling, you can explore the topic of how to travel alone around Germany. 
  • Write a comprehensive article for your blog and divide it into several parts. Rewrite each part to avoid plagiarism and hand out new articles to different bloggers as guest posts. Thus, their readers will be likely to visit your blog for a full story. 
  • If you are at a loss of how to find an interesting and engaging topic idea , screen a few popular blogs within your niche and pick a few articles that received many likes and comments. These topics should become your inspiration. Check which points are underdeveloped and write about one of them. To automate the process, use one of the blog topic idea generators to get multiple title suggestions.

Agree on the Topic of Your Post

It might be a good idea to prepare a few topics and send them to the hosting blogger. It’s better to discuss ideas before starting work to avoid misunderstandings in the future. The blogger might point out an angle that would be perfect in regard to their content plan. The key thing is to not impose your view, but to cooperate and produce a mutually beneficial product.  

Write an SEO-Friendly Text

Even if your post is aimed for a big-name blogger, making it SEO-friendly would be helpful as well. SEO-optimization allows you to make an article or the entire website understandable for search engines and be sure it will appear on the first pages of Google search results. Here are some techniques you can use:

  • Make keyword research. The key thing is to identify words that people type in a search bar and fill your article with them. While short-tail keywords, containing up to two words, have the highest level of competition, long-tail keywords (four words and more) have a low search volume and, therefore, a lower competition level. The more, the merrier, as long as they organically fit into the context. To identify keywords, use dedicated software, like Google Keyword Planner, SEMRush, etc. 
  • Keep an eye on your competitors’ keywords . This is an easy way to find out which keywords attract traffic and which don’t in terms of ranking. You will have to just copy the URL of the website you want to check, find out the number of keywords that are used, their volume, density, etc. Use such software as Ahrefs, SEMRush, SimilarWeb and more.  
  • After checking on keywords, why don’t you explore related word combinations to rank as high as possible? One example of this program is LSIGraph . You type in your keyword, and you’ll see what phrases are related to your matter, as in the picture below.

guest blogging travel

  • Optimize your title. For starters, stick to titles that are 60 characters long, as they will be properly displayed on the search engine results, in contrast to more wordy headings. Use keywords to rank your articles higher, as the research by Moz suggests , but don’t overdo it, because you’re mainly targeting real people, not just some algorithms. 
  • Take advantage of your URL. When writing and publishing your article, you can improve the text discoverability with the help of URL. Make it nice and short and insert keywords, as it counts here as well.
  • Write a meta-description. It’s a paragraph that search engines show right below the title. Meta-descriptions help people get a brief understanding of your article’s topic and thus increase its click-through rate. It should contain one or two sentences and be very appealing to catch readers’ attention.
  • Optimize images by using proper alt tags with keywords. 

SEO-friendly articles are likely to be read by more people than texts without optimization. It takes effort and time but is more beneficial in the end. 

Proofread Your Work

Proofreading your work is what helps avoid mistakes and silly word combinations. It is strongly recommended regardless of whether English is your native language or not. You can proofread the text yourself or resort to professional services. 

If you want to set it up without help, follow these tips on proofreading:

  • Take a break between writing and proofreading. Rest for some time to have fresh eyes. 
  • Think of mistakes you usually make and scan the text specifically for them.
  • Reading slowly will alert you to mistakes. The human mind is able to understand the text even if you remove 50% of letters from it, so simply reading it is not equal to proofreading.
  • To make it more efficient, read the text aloud, as it will involve both vision and hearing. 

Format Your Post

A successful guest post should match the hosting website formatting. Analyze the content on the hosting website and format your post accordingly, regarding the average article length as well as its structure (headlines, bolded text, quotes, infographics and more). 

  • For the sake of readability, try to make paragraphs and sentences short. Sentences shouldn’t be more than two lines.
  • Use a heading for each section of your post to improve the navigation for readers.
  • Where appropriate, add lists to the text: they are simple to both write and read, create some white space on the page, facilitate scanning and structure the information. Write a numerical list for important details and a bulleted one for less essential things.
  • To emphasize a phrase, put it in bold.
  • Finally, consider adding relevant images and graphs with appropriate captions. Visuals are processed faster by our brains, and we remember them longer.
  • Also, add a few links to some other related articles on the hosting blog to make it SEO-friendly and show the owner that you have familiarized yourself with their content. 

Make a Guest Post Bio

Once a guest post is ready, it’s time to make sure it brings you profits, and you can do that by providing the article with your bio. It might be the best place to tell everyone about yourself rather than making the article less informative and more promotional.

Thus, a bio can include a backlink to your blog or social media profiles, depending on your goals. Before placing a backlink, think of which pages really need some traffic, whether it’s your product page, or a landing page, etc. Remember to add a nice photo of yourself to the bio. It will make the article more personal and help build its credibility.

Track Results

To know how efficient guest posting is in your case, consider measuring the results of your campaigns. There are many pieces of software, and one example is Google Analytics . Its Advanced Segment allows to track traffic sources , so you’ll be able to see how many visitors come from the domain you submitted your guest post to.

Knowing how beneficial every guest post is, will help you run a better marketing campaign in the future, so you’ll only invest time in activities that actually produce followers. 

Guest Blogging and Google Policies

Pay attention to format your guest post in accordance with Google’s latest guidelines to avoid any inconvenience later. Even though the company doesn’t disapprove of guest posts in general, in 2017 it issued a warning in regard to large-scale article campaigns. Basically, Google opposes overlinking with the purpose to rank higher.

Don’t get carried away with both placing too many backlinks to your website inside of a guest post and inserting a lot of keywords into a link. Then, Google is wary of low-quality articles and treats them as spam, so backlinks to your website will definitely alert the search engine.

Finally, this warning opposes any duplication of content, so your guest post should be original. Violating these rules will negatively influence the website’s ranking. 

How to Guest Blog

Guest blogging is a great way to cross-promote two blogs at once, so make sure you do your best. When successful, guest posts will help build your reputation as a blogger and writer and open ample opportunities for cooperation with other influencers.

After submitting the post, try to keep an eye on comments and answer every one of them to attract more followers. While you are busy out on someone else’s blog, consider inviting other bloggers to create a guest post for your website, to stay afloat.

How to Write A Successful Guest Post that Drives Traffic?

write a guest post tips

Picking the topic for your guest post is the key

Hands down, the topic you choose for your guest post is what makes or breaks your guest posting success. So spend quality time coming up with rock-solid guest post ideas and here are a few quick tips for you!

Think like a reader: Before starting to write your guest post, make sure to analyze the blog audience so that you can easily find out what type of content works for them. Make sure to go through the blog’s commenting section, social media profiles, etc to know what they like and dislike.

Do some quick research around the blog: You can go through the archive page or popular posts section of the blog where you want to guest post. That way, you can come up with some topic ideas where you can add some unique angle to get your guest posts accepted.

Use platforms like Quora: Quora is the #1 Q & A platform that is used by millions of people worldwide which can also be used as a topic generation platform. You can use Quora to find popular and most trending questions around your niche to come up with topic ideas for your guest posts.

Do extensive research

To write a guest post that goes viral online, you need to do extensive research. You can’t spend an hour from research to writing a guest post because that kind of content rarely gets any attention. Use the following tips and you’ll be able to create a successful guest post.

Use Google search strings smartly: If you want to find sites that accept guest posts in your industry, you can use the following search terms to look for sites that accept guest posts.

  • “guest post submission guidelines” + topic name
  • “contributor” + topic name
  • “submit guest post” + “keyword”
  • “insurance blog” + “write for us”
  • “guest post” + topic name
  • “write for us” + topic name (example: write for us + fashion)
  • “submit guest post”+home
  • “submit guest post” + “education”
  • “become a guest author” + topic name
  • “submit guest post” + “keyword” (example: write for us + business)

Read guest post guidelines: Before writing a guest post for any website, you must know what kind of content they publish and what guest posting guidelines they follow. So make sure to go through the guest posting guidelines before you even pitch your guest posts to someone.

It all starts with building a relationship

Whether you know it or not, your guest posting success will be mostly dependent on the connection with the blog owner where you want to publish your stuff.

The single most effective hack to build relationships to land guest posts on other blogs is “ start commenting on other blogs ”.

Yes, blog commenting helps you easily write guest posts. But here’s the thing: don’t leave one-liner comments, make sure to write detailed, in-depth, and thoughtful comments so they get extra attention.

Make sure to connect with the blog owners on social media sites. Almost all bloggers use social media sites extensively as they’ll have to connect with their audience. So they are always open to discussions, and you’ll get benefits if you connect with them regularly.

Do’s And Don’ts of Guest Posting in 2024 and Beyond

do's and don'ts of guest posting

Here are a few do’s and don’ts of guest blogging sites.

Do’s of guest posting:

  • Do proper research before you start writing guest posts for any blog. The more time you spend on research, the better quality of guest posts you can create.
  • Do check out the popular guest posts (guest posts that went viral, created a lot of buzz, and attracted lots of traffic, links and social shares) to find out what type of content usually works better in your target blog.
  • Do write your guest posts in a friendly tone instead of using a generic or corporate tone. Practice writing daily and you’ll get better at it.

Don’ts of guest posting:

  • Don’t copy-paste others’ stuff while writing guest posts. It can really damage your online reputation and no one appreciates duplicate guest posts (blog owners will simply remove if they find that your guest posts are not original).
  • Don’t do guest blogging for the sake of links. It’s never going to work that way!
  • Don’t ignore promoting or responding to the comments you receive on your guest posts. It helps you connect with other bloggers which goes a long way.

How to Write Great Guest Posts In 2024? 3 Easy Tips

Whether you are looking for the best guest posting sites in India or elsewhere, you need to write them well. While writing your guest posts, make sure to use the following smart writing tips, and you’ll have higher chances of getting your guest posts accepted on almost any website.

1. Write in-depth guest posts

The #1 biggest mistake most people make while writing guest posts is that they keep the best articles with them and send crappy stuff as guest posts. What’s the point of creating quality content and posting it to your blog when you’ve no audience to read that content?

Instead, you can get better results if you publish that content as a guest post on another blog that has a bigger audience and more followers. You’ll also get a name, more traffic to your sites, and some recognition online which you can later use to build and grow your blog audience.

So start writing in-depth guest posts. We usually write 2000-word guest posts whenever we try to publish guest posts on other blogs, and that’s the reason why 9 out of 10 times, they get picked up by other sites and get some traffic and links to our own site. According to Backlinko, long-form content generates MORE links.

2. Optimize for search engines

Come up with at least one primary keyword for your guest post so you get long-lasting search traffic to your guest posts which ultimately helps you get more clicks and traffic in the long run.

When it comes to optimizing for search engines, title tags play a crucial role so take extra time to craft them nicely and also make sure to include a primary keyword within your title tag to get an extra boost from search engines.

Make sure to avoid “stop words” within your title tags as they are always truncated and not given importance by search engine crawlers which include;

  • particles (such as “if”, “then”, and “thus”)
  • prepositions (such as “of”, “that”, “on” and “for”)
  • pronouns (such as “he”, “we”, “which” and “her”)
  • articles (such as “the”, “an” and “a”)
  • auxiliary verbs (such as “am”, “is”, and “can”)
  • conjunctions (such as “and”, “or”, “but” and “while”)

Quick note: Don’t EVER stuff keywords as you write, just create your content as you would normally and optimize later while writing your guest posts.

3. Namedrop other bloggers

The best way to succeed as a guest blogger and find more guest posting opportunities is to namedrop other bloggers within your guest posts. You can include other bloggers’ best content within your guest posts or simply take others’ names to appreciate their work.

Make sure to also email them personally once your guest posts go live so either they will appreciate or promote your guest posts. Or they might even give you a chance to publish your guest posts in the future. In any case, it’s a win/win approach that gives you a solid foundation.

Here’s what it looks like;

Guest post pitching is a skill

Here’s an example of an email that Leo Widrich , the co-founder of Buffer, used when pitching editors from big sites like Forbes, Inc and so on

As a guy just starting out with a few basic web design lessons, I found onextrapixel extremely helpful, so just a quick thank you on that note.

I wanted to ask if you are interested in a guest post that I have drafted, which I titled “10 Tools to Make the Most of Twitter.” It covers the latest Twitter Tools , which help me a lot to stay productive.

I hope you can let me know if you think the post could be interesting to you.

For reference on my writing style, I published recently on: [list links to other publications]

If you look at the above email pitch b Leo, you’ll notice that it’s short and sweet so make sure to write guest posting pitches that are really short and fast to consume (because no one has time to read long and boring emails pitches).

Also, make sure to add references or your previous guest posting links (or your own blog post links) so the blog owners get an idea about your writing style, which plays a big role when accepting your guest posts.

Here’s a 10-point checklist that will be really come in handy for you on how to write an effective guest post that goes viral in 2024 and beyond.

  • Use an interesting bio: Make sure the author bio that you use within your guest posts (mostly at the end of it) is interesting and stands out from the crowd. Also, link to any landing page where you can capture leads instead of linking to the home page.
  • Respond to the comments: Once your guest post gets published on other sites, make sure to take time to read all the comments and respond to each one of them.
  • Thank the blog owner: Immediately after your guest post gets published, email the blog owner and send a thank you note for publishing your guest posts. Most people don’t do this but this simple trick opens the doors and builds strong rapport with them.
  • Mention other bloggers: If you’ve linked to other bloggers blog posts or contents from your guest posts, make sure to mention and tag them in your tweets or Facebook shares so they’ll know that you’re the one who’ve name dropped them.
  • Use your best stuff: One biggest mistake most people make while writing guest posts is that they don’t send their best stuff and often send crappy contents. There’s no point of doing that practice as your intention should be helping others with your content no matter where you write.
  • Edit like a pro: If your guest post has grammatical mistakes, no one appreciates it including the blog owner. So read your entire guest post at least twice to remove unwanted words and you can use tools like Grammarly to find and fix any typos .
  • Do it for relationships, not links: Stop writing guest posts for links or traffic. Do it to build relationships with other bloggers and you’ll succeed!
  • Send your guest post in the right format: Most publishers and blog editors tell you how to format your posts in their guidelines or email them to find out what formats works best for them.
  • Share it multiple times: Once your guest post goes live, make sure to tweet it, share on Facebook groups multiple times until a week. This helps you get some traction and additional traffic to your guest posts.
  • Don’t stop: Don’t stop writing guest posts whether they work for you or not. Do it for at least a few months to get an idea of how much benefits you’re actually getting from publishing guest posts.

Guest posting involves creating content for other blogs in exchange for links. You’ll write an article and post it on someone else’s blog with your author bio (by linking to your site).

There are 3 major benefits of guest blogging.

The biggest reason is SEO benefits , as guest blogging on other sites allows you to attract quality and relevant links to your site. Not only that, it also helps you build your network and improve personal branding which all help you increase your search rankings in the long run.

Now day, many programming language like Java, PHP, ASP.NET, C++, HTML5 and many more are used in making different type of software, apps ,i hope you will try to add them also..

I’ll definitely add that category in the future, thanks for the suggestions Vikas, just make sure to know one thing that guest blogging gives you the opportunity to reach a wider audience and it also gives you the opportunity to brand yourself as an expert in your field no matter what niche you are in.

The best thing I loved about this guest post blog list is that you have made direct link to submit guest post as well as contact link. I have tried some of the above listed blog but I have got errors while registering as contributers and that no reply from administration, so that was disappointed. Though most of blogs are fast in responding.

Glad you found it useful and yea, we made sure to craft this post as useful as possible even for beginners so they can directly get in touch with the blog owners to start publishing their guest posts.

Really, you are doing such a great work. thanks for sharing such a valuable information with us. It is very helpful to increase website traffic and Rank.

The summer months (June-August) are a great time to travel to Moscow to take advantage of the enjoyable mild temperatures. This is considered peak travel season. Bear in mind that hotel prices rise along with the temperatures!

If you’re planning a trip to Moscow during fall (September-November) try to plan for early fall. This way the temperatures will still be pleasant and winter won’t be threatening.

Russian winters (December-February) are not for the faint of heart as Napoleon learned to his peril. Some days the sun will be out for less than an hour, and snow is guaranteed. Although winters are exceptionally cold, this is when you’ll get a true glimpse of the Moscow experience!

The best time to visit Moscow is during spring  (March-May). The temperatures will begin to creep up and the sun begins to shine for significant portions of the day. Hotel rates will also have yet to skyrocket into peak ranges!

  • Food nearby: Check out Bar BQ Cafe for friendly service and good food in a great location! The atmosphere is upbeat and they’re open 24/7!

The Red Square is Moscow’s historic fortress and the center of the Russian government. The origins of the square date back to the late 15th century, when Ivan the Great decided to expand the Kremlin to reflect Moscow’s growing power and prestige!

During the 20th century, the square became famous as the site for demonstrations designed to showcase Soviet strength. Visiting the Red Square today, you’ll find it teeming with tourists, who come to witness its magical architecture up close!

The Red Square

The square is the picture postcard of Russian tourism, so make sure to bring your camera when you visit! No matter the season, or the time of day, it’s delightfully photogenic! 

It’s also home to some of Russia’s most distinguishing and important landmarks, which we’ve made sure to include further down in this itinerary. It’s an important center of Russia’s cultural life and one of the top places to visit in Moscow!

In 1990, UNESCO designated Russia’s Red Square as a World Heritage site. Visiting this historic site is a true bucket-list event and essential addition to your itinerary for Moscow!

Day 1 / Stop 2 – The Moscow Kremlin

  • Why it’s awesome: The Moscow Kremlin complex includes several palaces and cathedrals and is surrounded by the Kremlin wall. It also houses the principal museum of Russia (the Kremlin Armory).
  • Cost: USD $15.00
  • Food nearby: Bosco Cafe is a charming place to grat a casual bite to eat. They have excellent coffee and wonderful views of the Red Square and the Moscow Kremlin!

The iconic Moscow Kremlin , also known as the Kremlin museum complex, sits on Borovitsky Hill, rising above the Moscow River. It is a fortified complex in the center of the city, overlooking several iconic buildings in the Red Square!

It’s the best known of the Russian Kremlins – citadels or fortress’ protecting and dominating a city. During the early decades of the Soviet era, the Kremlin was a private enclave where the state’s governing elite lived and worked.

The Kremlin is outlined by an irregularly shaped triangular wall that encloses an area of 68 acres! The existing walls and towers were built from 1485 to 1495. Inside the Kremlin museum complex, there are five palaces, four cathedrals, and the enclosing Kremlin Wall with Kremlin towers.

The Armoury Chamber is a part of the Grand Kremlin Palace’s complex and is one of the oldest museums of Moscow, established in 1851. It showcases Russian history and displays many cherished relics. Definitely make sure to check out this museum while you’re here!

The Moscow Kremlin

The churches inside the Moscow Kremlin are the Cathedral of the Dormition, Church of the Archangel, Church of the Annunciation, and the bell tower of Ivan Veliki (a church tower).

The five-domed Cathedral of the Dormition is considered the most famous. It was built from 1475–1479 by an Italian architect and has served as a wedding and coronation place for great princes, tsars, and emperors of Russia. Church services are given in the Kremlin’s numerous cathedrals on a regular basis.

The Grand Kremlin Palace was the former Tsar’s Moscow residence and today it serves as the official workplace of the President of the Russian Federation (Vladimir Putin seems to have bagged that title for life) .

Insider Tip: The Kremlin is closed every Thursday! Make sure to plan this stop on your Moscow itinerary for any other day of the week!

Day 1 / Stop 3 – Lenin’s Mausoleum

  • Why it’s awesome: The mausoleum displays the preserved body of Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin .
  • Cost: Free!
  • Food nearby: Khinkal’naya is a charming Georgian restaurant with vaulted ceilings and exposed brick. It’s a popular place with locals and right next to the Red Square!

Lenin’s Mausoleum, also known as Lenin’s Tomb, is the modernist mausoleum for the revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin. It’s located within the Red Square and serves as the resting place for the Soviet leader! His preserved body has been on public display since shortly after his death in 1924.

It’s located just a few steps away from the Kremlin Wall and is one of the most controversial yet popular Moscow attractions!

Admission is free for everyone, you’ll only need to pay if you need to check a bag. Before visitors are allowed to enter the mausoleum, they have to go through a metal detector first. No metal objects, liquids, or large bags are allowed in the mausoleum!

Lenins Mausoleum

Expect a line to enter the building, and while you’re inside the building, you’ll be constantly moving in line with other visitors. This means you won’t be able to spend as long as you’d like viewing the mausoleum, but you’ll still be able to get a good look. Pictures and filming while inside the building are strictly prohibited, and security guards will stop you if they see you breaking this rule.

The mausoleum is only open on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday – unless it’s a public holiday or a day scheduled for maintenance. The hours it’s open for each day are limited, make sure to check online before you visit to make sure you can fit this into your Moscow itinerary for that day!

Insider Tip: The Lenin’s Museum is there for people to pay their respect; remember to keep silent and move along quickly, it’s not intended for people to congregate around. Also, men are not allowed to wear hats and everyone must take their hands out of their pockets when inside the building.

Day 1 / Stop 4 – St. Basil’s Cathedral

  • Why it’s awesome: A dazzling designed cathedral that showcases Russia’s unique architecture. This cathedral is one of the most recognizable symbols of the country!
  • Cost: USD $8.00
  • Food nearby: Moskovskiy Chaynyy Klub is a cozy cafe serving food items and pipping hot tea; it’s the perfect place to go if you’re visiting Moscow during the winter months!

Located in the Red Square, the ornate 16th-century St. Basil’s Cathedral is probably the building you picture when you think of Moscow’s unique architecture. Its colorful onion-shaped domes tower over the Moscow skyline!

The cathedral was built from 1555-1561 by order of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. It was designed with an iconic onion dome facade and enchanting colors that captivate all who see it. Fun fact: If you’re wondering why Russian churches have onion domes, they are popularly believed to symbolize burning candles!

This iconic cathedral has become a symbol of Russia due to its distinguishing architecture and prominent position inside the Red Square. It’s one of the most beautiful, wonderful, and mesmerizing historical cathedrals in the world!

St. Basils Cathedral

The interior of the church surprises most people when they visit. In contrast to the large exterior, the inside is not so much one large area, but rather a collection of smaller areas, with many corridors and small rooms. There are 9 small chapels and one mausoleum grouped around a central tower.

Visiting the inside is like walking through a maze, there are even small signs all around the cathedral tracing where to walk, and pointing you in the right direction! The walls are meticulously decorated and painted with intricate floral designs and religious themes.

The church rarely holds service and is instead a museum open for the public to visit.

Insider Tip: During the summer months the line to go inside the cathedral can get quite long! Make sure to arrive early or reserve your tickets online to guarantee quick access into the cathedral!

Now that we’ve covered what to do in Moscow in 2 days, if you’re able to spend more time in the city you’re going to need more attractions to fill your time. Here are a few more really cool things to do in Moscow we recommend!

Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics

The Alexander Garden

  • A tranquil place to relax near the Red Square
  • Green lawns dotted with sculptures and lovely water features
  • The park is open every day and has no entrance fee

The Alexander Garden was one of the first urban public parks in Moscow! The garden premiered in 1821 and was built to celebrate Russia’s victory over Napoleon’s forces in 1812!

The park is beautiful and well maintained with paths to walk on and benches to rest on. The park contains three separate gardens: the upper garden, middle garden, and lower garden.

The Alexander Garden

Located in the upper garden, towards the main entrance to the park is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with its eternal flame. This monument was created in 1967 and contains the body of a soldier who fell during the Great Patriotic War!

The park stretches along all the length of the western Kremlin wall for about half a mile. Due to its central location in the city, it’ll be easily accessible when you’re out exploring The Red Square.

It provides a bit of relief from the city’s high-energy city streets. Bring a picnic lunch, go for a walk, or just sit and people watch, this is one of the best Moscow sites to wind-down and relax!

Ostankino Television Tower

  • Television and radio tower in Moscow
  • Currently the tallest free-standing structure in Europe
  • Make sure you bring your passport when you visit, you can’t go up without it!

For spectacular views of the city, make sure to add the Ostankino Television Tower to your itinerary for Moscow! This impressive free-standing structure provides stunning views of the city in every direction. The glass floor at the top also provides great alternative views of the city!

Ostankino Television Tower

It takes just 58 seconds for visitors to reach the Tower’s observation deck by super fast elevator. The tower is open every day for long hours and is a great site in Moscow to check out! There is even a restaurant at the top where you can enjoy rotating views of the city while you dine on traditional Russian cuisine or European cuisine!

The tower is somewhat of an architectural surprise in a city that is not known for skyscrapers! To see the city from a new perspective, make sure to add this stop to your Moscow itinerary!

Izmaylovo District

  • The most popular attractions in this district are the kremlin and the flea market
  • Outside of the city center and easy to reach via metro
  • Most popular during the summer and on weekends

Travel outside the city center and discover a unique area of the city! The Izmaylovo District is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, and one of the coolest places to see in Moscow! The two main attractions we recommend checking out are the Kremlin and the flea market.

The Izmailovo Kremlin was established as a cultural center and molded after traditional Russian architecture. This colorful complex is home to several single-subject museums, including a Russian folk art museum and a vodka museum!

Izmaylovo District

Next to the Kremlin is the Izmailovo open-air market, which dates back to the 17th century! The market is connected to the Izmailovo Kremlin by a wooden bridge. Pick up all your Russian souvenirs here, including traditional handicrafts, paintings, books, retro toys, and Soviet memorabilia!

You will find many hand-made and hand-painted options available at higher prices, as well as mass-produced souvenir options at lower prices!

Museum of Soviet Arcade Games

  • Closed on Mondays
  • Filled with old arcade games that visitors get to try out!
  • The museum also includes a small cafe and burger shop

For something a little different, check out the Museum of Soviet Arcade Games! The museum features roughly 60 machines from the Soviet era, including video games, pinball machines, and collaborative hockey foosball! The machines inside the museum were produced in the USSR in the mid-1970s.

Museum of Soviet Arcade Games

The best part is, most of the games are still playable! Purchase tickets and try the games out for yourself! The museum also has a neat little screening room that plays old Soviet cartoons and an area with Soviet magazines! This unique attraction is a fun addition to a 3 day itinerary in Moscow, and an attraction that all ages will enjoy! 

Whether you’re spending one day in Moscow, or more, safety is an important thing to keep in mind when traveling to a big city! Overall, Moscow is a very safe place to visit. However, it is always recommended that tourists take certain precautions when traveling to a new destination!

The police in Moscow is extremely effective at making the city a safe place to visit and do their best to patrol all of the top Moscow, Russia tourist attractions. However, tourists can still be a target for pickpockets and scammers.

Moscow has a huge flow of tourists, therefore there is a risk for pickpocketing. Simple precautions will help eliminate your chances of being robbed. Stay vigilant, keep your items close to you at all times, and don’t flash your valuables!

If you’re planning a solo Moscow itinerary, you should have no need to worry, as the city is also considered safe for solo travelers, even women. Stay in the populated areas, try and not travel alone late at night, and never accept rides from strangers or taxis without a meter and correct signage.

The threat of natural disasters in Moscow is low, with the exception of severe winters when the temperature can dip below freezing! Bring a good, warm jacket if you visit in Winter.

However, please note that Russian views on homsexuality are far less accepting than those in Western Europe. Likewise, Non-Caucasian travellers may sadly encounter racism in Russia .

Don’t Forget Your Travel Insurance for Moscow

ALWAYS sort out your backpacker insurance before your trip. There’s plenty to choose from in that department, but a good place to start is Safety Wing .

They offer month-to-month payments, no lock-in contracts, and require absolutely no itineraries: that’s the exact kind of insurance long-term travellers and digital nomads need.

3 Days in Moscow – Itinerary: What to Do, How to Get Around & Where to Stay

A 3 day Moscow itinerary: what not to miss on a short trip to Moscow

What to do in Moscow in 3 days?

Don’t worry; 72 hours is enough to get a glimpse of the vibrant and expressive side of Moscow.

Russia. Just the mention of the name conjures images of red flags, vast spaces, and deadly distances.

Moscow is the heart of Russia, with an incredibly turbulent history, gorgeous architecture and slightly strange people with a mystic Russian soul.

While visiting Moscow, the brutal history is palpable. But, with so many shops, restaurants, and malls, the city is rightfully considered a perfect destination for a city break .

Moscow’s relatively compact city center is teeming with sights: theaters, museums, boulevards, and beautiful city squares. But because of that, planning a short visit to Moscow can be quite overwhelming.

I fell in love with Moscow a long time ago and I want to use this article to point out my favorite sights and spots in the city.

My 3-day Moscow itinerary is ideal for first-time visitors and those who want to see as much of the city as possible. So let’s get started!

NOTE:   This article is currently not being updated because of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

3 Days in Moscow – Itinerary

Day 1: iconic moscow.

3 days in Moscow itinerary

There is no doubt that the Red Square is the heart of Moscow and almost any trip to this city starts from here .

The square has an abundance of sights to see and you should probably expect to spend at least 2-3 hours here if you want to explore every nook and cranny.

Tip: Book a Red Square, Kremlin & Metro Tour to skip the line and learn more about Moscow’s incredible history.

The massive Lenin mausoleum, the opulent St Basil Cathedral, the GUM department store, and the State Historical Museum became integral parts of the architectural ensemble.

And depending on where you enter the Red square, those four sights are the first things to see.

Three days in Moscow itinerary

Just a stone’s throw away from the Red Square there is a majestic Christ the Saviour Cathedral.

Originally built in 1883 it was then demolished in 1931 during the Soviet period and finally rebuilt between 1994-1997.

This awe-inspiring cathedral is one of the tallest Orthodox churches in the world . And it has a convenient location for exploring the rest of the city.

End the first of your three days in Moscow by exploring the area near the Old Arbat Street. This is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Moscow. It dates back to the 15th century and allows you to enjoy the authentic ambiance of the Old City.

Located just a few blocks away there is the New Arbat Street. While it is much younger and less fancy than its older counterpart the street is filled with some of the most vibrant restaurants and liveliest nightclubs in Moscow .

Both Old and New Arbat streets have a wide range of restaurants with food catering for all budgets.

Day 2: Beyond Red Square. Moscow’s Parks.

On the second day of this Moscow itinerary, I suggest exploring Moscow’s green lung.

In fact, there are way too many parks to visit in just one day, thus I will only mention my favorite ones.

3 days in Moscow: what not to miss: Gorky Park

Named after Maxim Gorky this is one of the trendiest and most hipster-friendly areas in Moscow .

Originally opened in 1928 the park underwent a massive transformation that has turned it into a charming recreation ground with an open-air cinema theater, bicycle- and skate-rental spots, and contemporary public art projects.

If you visit the Russian capital in winter, make sure to pay this park a visit because it offers one of the best ice skating rinks in Moscow .

Kolomenskoye Park

A 3 days Moscow itinerary: what not to miss - Kolomenskoye Park

Conveniently situated in the southeast of Moscow this huge park is both an open-air museum and a UNESCO World Heritage site .

With an impressive number of original buildings, churches, bell towers, and pavilions, Kolomenskoye dates back to the 14th century and the Ascension church to the mid-16th century.

It may take up to four hours to explore the area near the church so you can easily combine these two parks in one trip.

Day 3: Hidden Gems in Moscow

The patriarch ponds.

What to do on day 3 in Moscow

This tranquil and charming neighborhood next to Mayakovaskaya Metro station has long been known as the area popular with expatriates. However, only a handful of tourists make their way here .

I absolutely recommend visiting this tiny park especially if you’re a Bulgakov fan.

The residential area near the Patriarch Ponds is where the conversation between Berlioz, Ivan Bezdomny, and Woland has been situated by Mikhail Bulgakov in his popular novel “The Master and Margarita”.

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception

A 3 day Moscow Itinerary - what to do in Moscow

Situated not far from Moscow Zoo and the Embassy of Poland, this neo-Gothic Roman Catholic Church is one of the largest and most beautiful Catholic cathedrals in Russia .

Built in the early 20th century, the building has had a fairly complicated history. It was shut down and suffered terrible damage from aerial bombings during the Second World War but was restored in 1990.

These days you can attend one of the masses offered in a range of languages and enjoy classical music concerts free of charge in this lesser-known architectural gem.

There you have it – the perfect 3-Day Moscow Itinerary!

Tip: Save time and money by getting the 1, 2, or 3-day city pass in Moscow .

I can also highly recommend going on a guided tour if you want to learn more about Moscow or check out one of these activities in Moscow:

How To Get To Moscow’s City Center

How to get from the airport to Moscow

With four international airports located not far from the city, there are many convenient ways to reach the city center from any of them.

Chances are you will arrive at Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, or Vnukovo airport as only a handful of flights arrive at Zhukovsky airport.

The Aeroexpress train is the fastest (and my favorite) way to reach Moscow city center from the Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, or Vnukovo airport. Trains run every 30 minutes between around 5 a.m. to 12 a.m. and cost around $7 USD (500 RUB) one way.

With frequent heavy traffic in Moscow, the train is definitely the best way to get to the city center at a predictable time.

But, if you travel on a tight budget, there is a way to save money on transportation . All airports are connected with the nearest subway station by bus. These are not that comfy but really cheap. You could travel for less than $3 USD one way.

Keep in mind, however, that if you choose to take the bus you’ll have to use the metro to get from the outskirts of Moscow to the center. Watch for bus 851 if you arrive at Sheremetyevo airport and bus 308 if you arrive at Domodedovo airport.

Getting Around in Moscow

How to get around in Moscow

Moscow’s ticketing system for their public transport can be confusing especially if you’ve never visited the city before and don’t speak Russian.

It is always good to remember that most stations and ticketing machines can get ridiculously crowded during peak hours.

I can’t recommend purchasing a Troika card enough when it comes to getting around. You can get a Troika card that is valid for 3 days for less than $7 USD, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to save money and avoid wasting time in line.

This reusable card allows you to use the Moscow metro, as well as Moscow’s Central Ring, busses, trams, and trolley busses. There is no limit to the number of rides during the validity of your card.

How to get the Troika card: you can buy this card at any metro kiosk.

While they do have English announcements in the metro on most lines, signs at Metro stations are often written only in Russian. Getting a printed copy of the metro map might come in handy to overcome the language barrier and find your way around.

Where to Stay in Moscow

Where to stay in Moscow

When you’re planning a 3-day Moscow itinerary, you’ll find out there are literally thousands of places to stay.

Accommodation in Moscow ranges from luxury hotels to budget hostels that often have both shared facilities and private rooms.

To save on accommodation I recommend using the Ostrovok hotel booking engine. They often offer better deals on hotels in Moscow than websites like Booking.com.

If you’re looking for budget hotels in Moscow, I recommend 999 Gold Hotel and Orange House Hotel near the Victory Park.

Airbnb and Couchsurfing are also popular in Moscow and most of the hosts speak English well.

Going to visit Moscow next week as I don’t know much about it so I was looking for a blog to know the best things to do there. Thanks for this information as now I know what to do there.

Hey, Alyson!

Moscow is a wonderful city to visit at any time of the year! I visited it both in winter and summer and every season has its appointed uses and advantages.

Gorky Park is one of my favorite spots to hang out in Moscow and it can be easily reached by metro because things have evolved. Now they do have most of the signs (including the ones on the floor) written in English, so chances are you won’t get lost in the metro the way you could several years ago!

We did this 20 years ago! This takes me right back. Moscow was the first stop of our first RTW. We did all of the above but it was winter, snow on the ground. I loved Gorky Park, so atmospheric, like a spy movie. We had to remember the shapes of the letters to find the right stations. It looks like nothing much has changed!

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow: The Best of Moscow!

I just got back from one week in Moscow. And, as you might have already guessed, it was a mind-boggling experience. It was not my first trip to the Russian capital. But I hardly ever got enough time to explore this sprawling city. Visiting places for business rarely leaves enough time for sightseeing. I think that if you’ve got one week in Russia, you can also consider splitting your time between its largest cities (i.e. Saint Petersburg ) to get the most out of your trip. Seven days will let you see the majority of the main sights and go beyond just scratching the surface. In this post, I’m going to share with you my idea of the perfect travel itinerary for one week in Moscow.

Moscow is perhaps both the business and cultural hub of Russia. There is a lot more to see here than just the Kremlin and Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Centuries-old churches with onion-shaped domes dotted around the city are in stark contrast with newly completed impressive skyscrapers of Moscow City dominating the skyline. I spent a lot of time thinking about my Moscow itinerary before I left. And this city lived up to all of my expectations.

7-day Moscow itinerary

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow

Day 1 – red square and the kremlin.

Metro Station: Okhotny Ryad on Red Line.

No trip to Moscow would be complete without seeing its main attraction. The Red Square is just a stone’s throw away from several metro stations. It is home to some of the most impressive architectural masterpieces in the city. The first thing you’ll probably notice after entering it and passing vendors selling weird fur hats is the fairytale-like looking Saint Basil’s Cathedral. It was built to commemorate one of the major victories of Ivan the Terrible. I once spent 20 minutes gazing at it, trying to find the perfect angle to snap it. It was easier said than done because of the hordes of locals and tourists.

As you continue strolling around Red Square, there’s no way you can miss Gum. It was widely known as the main department store during the Soviet Era. Now this large (yet historic) shopping mall is filled with expensive boutiques, pricey eateries, etc. During my trip to Moscow, I was on a tight budget. So I only took a retro-style stroll in Gum to get a rare glimpse of a place where Soviet leaders used to grocery shop and buy their stuff. In case you want some modern shopping experience, head to the Okhotny Ryad Shopping Center with stores like New Yorker, Zara, and Adidas.

To continue this Moscow itinerary, next you may want to go inside the Kremlin walls. This is the center of Russian political power and the president’s official residence. If you’re planning to pay Kremlin a visit do your best to visit Ivan the Great Bell Tower as well. Go there as early as possible to avoid crowds and get an incredible bird’s-eye view. There are a couple of museums that are available during designated visiting hours. Make sure to book your ticket online and avoid lines.

Day 2 – Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Tretyakov Gallery, and the Arbat Street

Metro Station: Kropotkinskaya on Red Line

As soon as you start creating a Moscow itinerary for your second day, you’ll discover that there are plenty of metro stations that are much closer to certain sites. Depending on your route, take a closer look at the metro map to pick the closest.

The white marble walls of Christ the Saviour Cathedral are awe-inspiring. As you approach this tallest Orthodox Christian church, you may notice the bronze sculptures, magnificent arches, and cupolas that were created to commemorate Russia’s victory against Napoleon.

Unfortunately, the current Cathedral is a replica, since original was blown to bits in 1931 by the Soviet government. The new cathedral basically follows the original design, but they have added some new elements such as marble high reliefs.

Home to some precious collection of artworks, in Tretyakov Gallery you can find more than 150,000 of works spanning centuries of artistic endeavor. Originally a privately owned gallery, it now has become one of the largest museums in Russia. The Gallery is often considered essential to visit. But I have encountered a lot of locals who have never been there.

Famous for its souvenirs, musicians, and theaters, Arbat street is among the few in Moscow that were turned into pedestrian zones. Arbat street is usually very busy with tourists and locals alike. My local friend once called it the oldest street in Moscow dating back to 1493. It is a kilometer long walking street filled with fancy gift shops, small cozy restaurants, lots of cute cafes, and street artists. It is closed to any vehicular traffic, so you can easily stroll it with kids.

Day 3 – Moscow River Boat Ride, Poklonnaya Hill Victory Park, the Moscow City

Metro Station: Kievskaya and Park Pobedy on Dark Blue Line / Vystavochnaya on Light Blue Line

Voyaging along the Moscow River is definitely one of the best ways to catch a glimpse of the city and see the attractions from a bit different perspective. Depending on your Moscow itinerary, travel budget and the time of the year, there are various types of boats available. In the summer there is no shortage of boats, and you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Travel Itinerary for One Week in Beijing

If you find yourself in Moscow during the winter months, I’d recommend going with Radisson boat cruise. These are often more expensive (yet comfy). They offer refreshments like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and, of course, alcoholic drinks. Prices may vary but mostly depend on your food and drink selection. Find their main pier near the opulent Ukraine hotel . The hotel is one of the “Seven Sisters”, so if you’re into the charm of Stalinist architecture don’t miss a chance to stay there.

The area near Poklonnaya Hill has the closest relation to the country’s recent past. The memorial complex was completed in the mid-1990s to commemorate the Victory and WW2 casualties. Also known as the Great Patriotic War Museum, activities here include indoor attractions while the grounds around host an open-air museum with old tanks and other vehicles used on the battlefield.

How I Planned My Trip to Vietnam

The hallmark of the memorial complex and the first thing you see as you exit metro is the statue of Nike mounted to its column. This is a very impressive Obelisk with a statue of Saint George slaying the dragon at its base.

Maybe not as impressive as Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower , the skyscrapers of the Moscow City (otherwise known as Moscow International Business Center) are so drastically different from dull Soviet architecture. With 239 meters and 60 floors, the Empire Tower is the seventh highest building in the business district.

The observation deck occupies 56 floor from where you have some panoramic views of the city. I loved the view in the direction of Moscow State University and Luzhniki stadium as well to the other side with residential quarters. The entrance fee is pricey, but if you’re want to get a bird’s eye view, the skyscraper is one of the best places for doing just that.

Day 4 – VDNKh, Worker and Collective Farm Woman Monument, The Ostankino TV Tower

Metro Station: VDNKh on Orange Line

VDNKh is one of my favorite attractions in Moscow. The weird abbreviation actually stands for Russian vystavka dostizheniy narodnogo khozyaystva (Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy). With more than 200 buildings and 30 pavilions on the grounds, VDNKh serves as an open-air museum. You can easily spend a full day here since the park occupies a very large area.

Moscow sights

First, there are pavilions that used to showcase different cultures the USSR was made of. Additionally, there is a number of shopping pavilions, as well as Moskvarium (an Oceanarium) that features a variety of marine species. VDNKh is a popular venue for events and fairs. There is always something going on, so I’d recommend checking their website if you want to see some particular exhibition.

A stone’s throw away from VDNKh there is a very distinctive 25-meters high monument. Originally built in 1937 for the world fair in Paris, the hulking figures of men and women holding a hammer and a sickle represent the Soviet idea of united workers and farmers. It doesn’t take much time to see the monument, but visiting it gives some idea of the Soviet Union’s grandiose aspirations.

I have a thing for tall buildings. So to continue my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow I decided to climb the fourth highest TV tower in the world. This iconic 540m tower is a fixture of the skyline. You can see it virtually from everywhere in Moscow, and this is where you can get the best panoramic views (yep, even better than Empire skyscraper).

top things to do in Moscow

Parts of the floor are made of tempered glass, so it can be quite scary to exit the elevator. But trust me, as you start observing buildings and cars below, you won’t want to leave. There is only a limited number of tickets per day, so you may want to book online. Insider tip: the first tour is cheaper, you can save up to $10 if go there early.

Day 5 – A Tour To Moscow Manor Houses

Metro Station: Kolomenskoye, Tsaritsyno on Dark Green Line / Kuskovo on Purple Line

I love visiting the manor houses and palaces in Moscow. These opulent buildings were generally built to house Russian aristocratic families and monarchs. Houses tend to be rather grand affairs with impressive architecture. And, depending on the whims of the owners, some form of a landscaped garden.

During the early part of the 20th century though, many of Russia’s aristocratic families (including the family of the last emperor) ended up being killed or moving abroad . Their manor houses were nationalized. Some time later (after the fall of the USSR) these were open to the public. It means that today a great many of Moscow’s finest manor houses and palaces are open for touring.

20 Travel Tips I’ve Learned From Travelling The World

There are 20 manor houses scattered throughout the city and more than 25 in the area around. But not all of them easily accessible and exploring them often takes a lot of time. I’d recommend focusing on three most popular estates in Moscow that are some 30-minute metro ride away from Kremlin.

Sandwiched between the Moscow River and the Andropov Avenue, Kolomenskoye is a UNESCO site that became a public park in the 1920’s. Once a former royal estate, now it is one of the most tranquil parks in the city with gorgeous views. The Ascension Church, The White Column, and the grounds are a truly grand place to visit.

You could easily spend a full day here, exploring a traditional Russian village (that is, in fact, a market), picnicking by the river, enjoying the Eastern Orthodox church architecture, hiking the grounds as well as and wandering the park and gardens with wildflower meadows, apple orchards, and birch and maple groves. The estate museum showcases Russian nature at its finest year-round.

If my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow was a family tree, Tsaritsyno Park would probably be the crazy uncle that no-one talks about. It’s a large park in the south of the city of mind-boggling proportions, unbelievable in so many ways, and yet most travelers have never heard of it.

The palace was supposed to be a summer home for Empress Catherine the Great. But since the construction didn’t meet with her approval the palace was abandoned. Since the early 1990’s the palace, the pond, and the grounds have been undergoing renovations. The entire complex is now looking brighter and more elaborately decorated than at possibly any other time during its history. Like most parks in Moscow, you can visit Tsaritsyno free of charge, but there is a small fee if you want to visit the palace.

How To Stop Procrastinating When Trip Planning

Last, but by no means least on my Moscow itinerary is Kuskovo Park . This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path place. While it is not easily accessible, you will be rewarded with a lack of crowds. This 18th-century summer country house of the Sheremetev family was one of the first summer country estates of the Russian nobility. And when you visit you’ll quickly realize why locals love this park.

Like many other estates, Kuskovo has just been renovated. So there are lovely French formal garden, a grotto, and the Dutch house to explore. Make sure to plan your itinerary well because the estate is some way from a metro station.

Day 6 – Explore the Golden Ring

Creating the Moscow itinerary may keep you busy for days with the seemingly endless amount of things to do. Visiting the so-called Golden Ring is like stepping back in time. Golden Ring is a “theme route” devised by promotion-minded journalist and writer Yuri Bychkov.

Having started in Moscow the route will take you through a number of historical cities. It now includes Suzdal, Vladimir, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Sergiev Posad. All these awe-inspiring towns have their own smaller kremlins and feature dramatic churches with onion-shaped domes, tranquil residential areas, and other architectural landmarks.

I only visited two out of eight cities included on the route. It is a no-brainer that Sergiev Posad is the nearest and the easiest city to see on a day trip from Moscow. That being said, you can explore its main attractions in just one day. Located some 70 km north-east of the Russian capital, this tiny and overlooked town is home to Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, UNESCO Site.

Sergiev Posad is often described as being at the heart of Russian spiritual life. So it is uncommon to see the crowds of Russian pilgrims showing a deep reverence for their religion. If you’re traveling independently and using public transport, you can reach Sergiev Posad by bus (departs from VDNKh) or by suburban commuter train from Yaroslavskaya Railway Station (Bahnhof). It takes about one and a half hours to reach the town.

Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius is a great place to get a glimpse of filling and warming Russian lunch, specifically at the “ Gostevaya Izba ” restaurant. Try the duck breast, hearty potato and vegetables, and the awesome Napoleon cake.

Day 7 – Gorky Park, Izmailovo Kremlin, Patriarch’s Ponds

Metro Station: Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya on Circle Line / Partizanskaya on Dark Blue Line / Pushkinskaya on Dark Green Line

Gorky Park is in the heart of Moscow. It offers many different types of outdoor activities, such as dancing, cycling, skateboarding, walking, jogging, and anything else you can do in a park. Named after Maxim Gorky, this sprawling and lovely park is where locals go on a picnic, relax and enjoy free yoga classes. It’s a popular place to bike around, and there is a Muzeon Art Park not far from here. A dynamic location with a younger vibe. There is also a pier, so you can take a cruise along the river too.

The Kremlin in Izmailovo is by no means like the one you can find near the Red Square. Originally built for decorative purposes, it now features the Vernissage flea market and a number of frequent fairs, exhibitions, and conferences. Every weekend, there’s a giant flea market in Izmailovo, where dozens of stalls sell Soviet propaganda crap, Russian nesting dolls, vinyl records, jewelry and just about any object you can imagine. Go early in the morning if you want to beat the crowds.

All the Bulgakov’s fans should pay a visit to Patriarch’s Ponds (yup, that is plural). With a lovely small city park and the only one (!) pond in the middle, the location is where the opening scene of Bulgakov’s novel Master and Margarita was set. The novel is centered around a visit by Devil to the atheistic Soviet Union is considered by many critics to be one of the best novels of the 20th century. I spent great two hours strolling the nearby streets and having lunch in the hipster cafe.

Conclusion and Recommendations

To conclude, Moscow is a safe city to visit. I have never had a problem with getting around and most locals are really friendly once they know you’re a foreigner. Moscow has undergone some serious reconstruction over the last few years. So you can expect some places to be completely different. I hope my one week Moscow itinerary was helpful! If you have less time, say 4 days or 5 days, I would cut out day 6 and day 7. You could save the Golden Ring for a separate trip entirely as there’s lots to see!

I know very little about Moscow or Russia for the\at matter. I do know I would have to see the Red Square and all of its exquisite architectural masterpieces. Also the CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE SAVIOUR. Thanks for shedding some light on visiting Moscow.

Thanks for swinging by! The Red Square is a great starting point, but there way too many places and things to discover aside from it!

Moscow Must-Experiences

You are here.

Whether you've been to Moscow before or are traveling for the very first time, there's always room for discoveries in this mighty city. Here is our list of top places not to miss on your unforgettable  tour to Moscow .

1. The Kremlin

The  Kremlin  is located in the very heart of the capital and is definitely one of Moscow's oldest and most picturesque parts. It is an ancient fortified building complex standing on the banks of the Moskva River. In fact, the city took its name from the river almost 1000 years ago. The whole complex encompasses four majestic cathedrals, five palaces, the Kremlin Wall, and the Kremlin towers.

Some of the palaces are now amazing museums, such as the well-known  Armory Chamber , which is famous for weapons, jewelry, and household objects of the tzars and the collection of fifty marvelous Faberge eggs. The Kremlin is an important cultural and architectural sight considered a true embodiment of its magnificence and poverty. What is more, it is still the current residence and executive office of the head of Russia. It is often used as a metonym to refer to the Russian Federation's government. Moscow Kremlin's complex was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990 and highlighted every tour of Russia's capital.

2. Red Square

Red Square  is the oldest square in Moscow and is its main and central one. The name Red (Krasnaya) derives from another meaning of this Russian word beautiful. Located between the citadel of Kremlin and "Kitai-gorod" - a historic quarter of merchants, it is the starting point of the capital's major streets. For over 500 years, the square has been the stage for Russia's political, social, and historical changes and development. And its main buildings recall the solemn events that took place here.

In the XVI century, the Red Square was a site of execution, where Ivan the Terrible put prisoners to death, and where he later began the construction of the famous St. Basil's Cathedral as a repent of his cruel deeds. It was the location where Napoleon stayed with his army in 1912. From 1924 the Red Square complex was supplemented with Lenin's Mausoleum as a monument to the era of Communism. The Red Square (together with the Moscow Kremlin) was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list in 1990. And today, it is a grandstand for national celebrations and parades and a major tourist attraction. Visiting the Red Square is one of the most exciting experiences during  tours to Moscow .

3. St. Basil's Cathedral

This gorgeous cathedral in the name of Saint Vasily the Blessed is considered the most emblematic architectural masterpiece symbolizing Russia. Located on the Red Square in Moscow, the colorful red-bricked beauty is its main precious decoration. Tsar Ivan the Terrible began its construction in 1552. Built in the XVI century, the cathedral originally had eight chapels. The ninth was added in honor of Basil the Blessed.

On the inside, the church is a narrow corridors system, joining perfectly asymmetrical towers, together forming a labyrinth within the cathedral space. The legend says that after the church's construction was completed, Tsar Ivan the Terrible was immensely excited and impressed by the cathedral's beauty. Surprisingly, he sentenced the architects to have their eyes put out. Such cruelty was applied so that the blind masters could never again build such a magnificent church. The  St. Basil's Cathedral  has no close analogs globally and is definitely among the absolute must-visits in Moscow.

4. The State Tretyakov Gallery

By far, the  Tretyakov Gallery  is the most important art gallery in Russia, and it's fair to say that it is among the world's most renowned and prestigious ones. Its history goes back to 1856 when Pavel Tretyakov, a local wealthy merchant, and art collector, created an exhibition of modern works by Russia's contemporary fine artists. The collection was first shown in the big hall of the Tretyakov's family house. Merely ten years later, the "Moscow City Gallery of Tretyakov" was opened to visitors as a gift to the city of Moscow, its expositions encompassing more than 2,000 artworks!

Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow

Today the State Tretyakov Gallery is often referred to as "the treasury of national fine arts" for the reason that over 150,000 masterpieces are on display, representing every possible genre and the country's rich traditions. Exquisite sculptures, centuries-old icons, gorgeous paintings, some created by anonymous masters, others by world-known, and admired names. Thus, for those who highly appreciate art, the Tretyakov Gallery is a must-visit place while on  vacation in Russia . It provides a great chance to see modern colorful canvases and the legacy of all generations of artists.

5. The Moscow Metro

The  Moscow Metro  is a huge underground world that not only provides its citizens with fast and comfortable travel about the city but is also among the capital's most famous attractions. Many stations have become considerable landmarks and are protected by the Russian Federation as valuable cultural objects. Every one of the 177 stations has its own unique appearance. Paintings, monuments, bronze statues, and mosaics of marble and stained glass were used in their decoration. The "Sokolnicheskaya" was the first metro railway line in the Soviet Union built as part of the capital's modernization program and opened for citizens in 1935.

The beautiful, almost luxurious space of the first stations is often called "the underground palaces of Moscow." They were carefully designed by the country's best architects and can be truly considered a museum. The concept and style of the stations mostly reflect Soviet values and ideology. For instance, "Revolution Square," "Komsomolskaya" or the "Novoslobodskaya" are named standards of Soviet architecture of pre- and after-war periods and were created as monuments in honor of the Soviet success in industrializing the country and as symbols of the pride and victory of the Russian nation.

6. Bolshoi Theater

The building of the  Bolshoi Theater  was founded in 1825 and has overcome many changes. The biggest theater in the capital traditionally stages opera and ballet, which have always been very significant arts for Russia, pleasing viewers each season with 3-4 new shows. Yet it must be noted that the Bolshoi theatrical and ballet collectives were established much earlier - in the late 1770s. Throughout the years of their existence, they have gifted the world community with many magnificent shows. Bolshoi's Ballet company is among the oldest and largest ones globally, with more than 200 dancers performing here today.

Bolshoi Theater in Moscow

What is more, the Bolshoi Theater's orchestra is now an individual virtuoso ensemble that gives concerts of classical and modern symphonic music playing masterpieces created by Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Verdi, and others both in the theater and on tours. The name "Bolshoi" has the meaning of "great" or "big," reflecting its importance for the Russian culture. Bolshoi steadily keeps the status of a world-class ballet and opera theater and is definitely worth visiting when in Moscow.

7. Kuskovo Estate

Situated in Moscow's outskirts, the Kuskovo Estate is a great example of typical Russian summer estate architecture. The complex was built in the XVIII century and was first owned by a Russian count Boris Sheremetev, a maven in arts. He turned the palace, park zone with ponds, and pavilion buildings into a real masterpiece combining classicism and baroque styles. Although the palace was located a whole day's travel from Moscow and had no guest rooms, the estate was a trendy place among Moscow's nobility.

Kuskovo Estate Outside Moscow

Balls were given here twice a week, making Kuskovo a major entertainment site for the city's cream. In 1919 after the Revolution, the edifice and its surrounding territories were turned into a natural history museum, and today, it is a place where ceremonies, summer festivals, and concerts are held. Apart from its beautiful buildings and park, Kuskovo also encompasses the famous State Museum of Ceramics, which exhibits fine porcelain and glass collections created by Empress Maria Fedorovna.

Although Moscow might seem like a huge bustling megalopolis it has it's own unique charm and inimitable beauty. Its vast expanses and awe-inspiring atmosphere are a memorable experience for all who travel to Russia's capital.
