We have prepared an overview of the most useful travel apps that should not be missing on your smartphone. We use them without exception as well. We believe they will help make your travels successful! 🙂

MAPS

  • Google Maps – Google Maps are the alpha and omega of our trips, where we mark all the points of interest we want to see. A selected area on the map can also be downloaded for offline use.
  • Maps.me – maps using OpenStreetMap as a base layer – unlike Google Maps, they have better mapped tourist routes. Each country can be downloaded for offline use.
  • Waze – when we rent a car, we use either Google Maps or Waze for navigation.
  • Strava – used for recording routes, whether you are walking, hiking, running, cycling, or doing anything else.
