What should be taken into account is that <strong>Google Trips<\/strong> makes use of your Gmail account, so you must have one to use the app.<\/p><p>Once the app is downloaded, you log in via your Gmail account and the app scans your emails for travel dates, flights and information.<\/p><p>It then stores all this information in one place, and allows you to generate a route according to your preferences, or it does it for you directly. The <strong>app for getting to know places<\/strong> is available for download on Android.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TripAdvisor<\/h3><p>It is a very popular app among travellers, which is reflected in the number of downloads it has had. <strong>TripAdvisor<\/strong> allows you to make hotel reservations directly from its platform, which is not the case with other applications.<\/p><p>Although for many, <strong>TripAdvisor<\/strong> is not just a useful application for making reservations, it actually provides additional information on popular attractions, hotels, shops and much more.<\/p><p>In addition, this <strong>application to get to know places<\/strong> is available in Spanish and makes travel guides available to users.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TripIt<\/h3><p><strong>TripIt<\/strong> is an app whose function is to manage itineraries. To use it, you have to forward the booking confirmation emails to the app and they will be automatically converted into an itinerary.<\/p><p>It is also possible to link your email with the app and it will import your travel plans itself, without the need to forward the emails. This only works with Gmail, Outlook.com or Yahoo! Mail.<\/p><p>In addition, you can make queries from any platform and you can even be disconnected from the Internet. With <strong>TripIt<\/strong> you will have the possibility to share the plans or the whole itinerary with as many people as you wish.<\/p><p>The <strong>application comes in three versions:<\/strong>&nbsp;one free, one ad-free for 0.99 $ and one for 49 $ per year, with which it is possible to locate flights, find out the best available seat and receive real-time flight alerts, among other functions.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Triposo<\/h3><p>It is about <strong>a free application<\/strong> which can also work offline and gives you personalised suggestions on places and things to do, just like a travel guide.<\/p><p><strong>Triposo<\/strong> has several categories, such as places to visit, where to shop, eating out, nightlife and more. It has information on 25,000 destinations and a community of six million users.<\/p><p>One of the main characteristics of <strong>Triposo<\/strong> is that it shows you where you are, even if you are not online, and it can also calculate the route to the place you have selected. It is only available in English, but it is very intuitive and easy to use.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google Maps<\/h3><p>When travelling to other cities it is always necessary to have a map at hand. <strong>Google Maps<\/strong> allows you to download an area to your mobile in order to have it available offline whenever you need it.<\/p><p>This is a well-known app, which can also be used without an internet connection and thus save data. It is available for iOS and Android devices.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expensify<\/h3><p>This is a <strong>application for expenditure control<\/strong> and the storage of invoices during the trip. Through it, you can sort your data, classify expenses by category and also summarise the results in a graph.<\/p><p><strong>Expensify<\/strong> is very useful especially for business trips, as it makes it easier for you to save your expenses in order to present your reports later in the office.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Citymapper<\/h3><p><strong>Citymapper<\/strong> is a very complete application for estimating your public transport routes quickly and easily, as it shows you departure times and delays in real time.<\/p><p>The app can be used for 30 cities, most of them in Europe. You can find out the nearest metro or bus lines, define your route, even if you want to cycle, or save the address of your hotel so you can get directions quickly.<\/p><p>In addition to this, information from all the trips you save is retained so that you can access them offline, helping you to save data. <strong>The app is free and has a Spanish version.<\/strong><\/p><p>Because saved trips are synchronised between devices, you can plan a route on the web and when you have saved it, it will automatically appear on your mobile.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FourSquare<\/h3><p><strong>FourSquare<\/strong> is a useful application for finding nearby places of interest, such as parks and museums, as well as places to shop and eat.<\/p><p>The app allows you to see the comments made by other members of the community. It has an extensive database and is available in Spanish.<\/p><p>It is the <strong>geolocation social network<\/strong> par excellence. Initially, it was based on a game in which you earned achievements and points for checking in at the places you visited. However, they rectified and redirected the service to focus on user suggestions and comments.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minube<\/h3><p>The application <strong>Minube <\/strong>generates suggestions of nearby places that you will be able to visit according to your location. It is really useful to know where to eat or stay and to be able to explore those special places that are not shown in the tour packages.<\/p><p><strong>Minube<\/strong> bases its recommendations on the contributions made by users, placing special emphasis on multimedia content. On other social networks, it is common to find locals with several comments recommending not to miss a certain dish, without including photographs of either the dish or the restaurant.<\/p><p>In the <strong>app for getting to know places<\/strong> the first thing that comes up when you search for a site is the sites with the most votes in their corresponding photos, which is useful for quickly discarding sites that catch your eye without wasting time looking at each of the descriptions. It is available for download on iOS and Android devices.<\/p><p>Once you have made your first selection, you can go on to review each of them in detail. The vast majority of the items have enough commentary to leave you in no doubt as to what is there.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fly Smart<\/h3><p>Sometimes it is necessary to make stopovers at different airports when travelling to distant cities. This application is very useful to find out what services are available at each of them.<\/p><p>Spending time waiting for your next flight with a special meal or watching TV is not the same as waiting in a chair. <strong>Fly Smart<\/strong> is available for download on iOS and Android devices.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Airbnb<\/h3><p>When travelling to any city, one of the most important aspects is to find a cheap place to stay and save some money.<\/p><p>For this purpose, one of the applications that has been used most frequently is <strong>Airbnb <\/strong>which allows you to share a place or a flat during your stay. The app is available for download on iOS and Android devices.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yelp<\/h3><p><strong>Yelp<\/strong> is a <strong>application that is based on user recommendations.<\/strong> Its main objective is to provide comprehensive user reviews of venues.<\/p><p>Through their filters they will help you find places in a specific area according to price, opening hours, votes, type of food, among others.<\/p><p><strong>Yelp<\/strong> adds to the users' votes the reviews of their team. One difference with other social networks is that the application does not require registration to search for sites, only to post.<\/p><p>It is highly recommended when you want to locate places that meet specific requirements, e.g. distance, prices, whether Wi-Fi is available.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google Translate<\/h3><p>It is a <strong>useful app for translating<\/strong> up to 80 languages, including Spanish. With <strong>Google Translate<\/strong> you can write or say a sentence and the application will send you the translation.<\/p><p>For iPhone users, there is also the app&nbsp;<strong>iTranslate,&nbsp;<\/strong>with which you can communicate with your interlocutor in real time.<\/p><p>The app allows you to translate text or web pages, start voice conversations or look up words, their meanings and even verb conjugations in more than 90 languages.<\/p><p>It is also possible to download the Spanish-English dictionary or any other language in order to be able to use the application when there is an Internet connection.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">XE Currency<\/h3><p><strong>XE Currency<\/strong> it is one of the tools <strong>to convert currencies<\/strong> most popular on the Internet. The app makes it possible to know the exchange rate of the most relevant currencies of the country you are visiting and even precious metals.<\/p><p>It is also possible to view historical graphs and calculate costs from your mobile or tablet. The app is free of charge.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>As you have seen, there is a wide variety of <strong>applications for getting to know places<\/strong> useful to learn about the places that interest you.
