the amsterdam city guide app and 7 other essential travel apps

Technology changes a lot, even our way of traveling! We book our hotels by ourselves (who needs a travel agent) and we don’t have to be that early at the airport anymore, because we can check in at home. It does make travelling a lot easier, right? And now that my own app The Amsterdam City Guide App is available for android and ios (have you already downloaded it?!) , there’s no way you get lost in Amsterdam anymore. With over 400 hotspots this truly is an indispensable app for anyone who wants to discover Amsterdam in the right way, believe me ;-) But there are other apps that I feel like are indispensable when travelling.

8 x essential travel apps you need to download right now below

1. THE AMSTERDAM CITY GUIDE >> ESSENTIAL TRAVEL APPS

OH yes, we now also have our 700 best tips in an APP for Android and iOs. With maps that also work offline and easy search by neighbourhood or category.

2. Airbnb >> essential travel apps

When you’re booking an accommodation through Airbnb, I can recommend you to install this app. You can access all of your booking and contact information whenever you want!

3. Packing Pro >> essential travel apps

This app costs € 2.99 in iTunes, but is really so worth it! With Packing Pro you can create organized lists, so you’re sure you’ve packed everything. Do you suffer from packing stress and do you want to be sure you always end up packing the important things, then you should really have this app!

4. Google Maps >> essential travel apps

No large maps, but just your smartphone! The ‘map’ application on your iPhone works fine, but Google Maps is a little bit more detailed. So you will never get lost during your next city trip!

Can’t speak Spanish, but don’t want to look like a complete idiot while traveling through Spain? Google Translate is your best friend ;) !

Last, but not least; Instagram! Share all of your travel adventures with your friends through Instagram Stories, super easy and so addictive! Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram, @yourlbb ;) !

Flying as cheap as possible, who doesn’t want that? The Skyscanner app lets you compare prices of thousand of flights and airlines. You can also compare prices of hotels and car rentals. Really all you need in one app!
