5 awesome apps that will enhance your holidays

Traveling today is certainly much easier than it was a few years ago. Unrolling maps trying to figure out which side to look to in order to find the right path is certainly tempting for the most nostalgic, but the terms of practicality and speed are no story. Grabbing your mobile phone and letting yourself be guided by a nice voice that orders you to turn is certainly one of the greatest comforts for those who love visiting new places.

Not least the voice assistant who recommends the best restaurants in the area, the trendiest bar or the nearby pharmacy . The place you are looking for in a second, but your smartphone can also be a valuable aid in emergency situations with translator, flashlight, currency converter or calculator. In short, traveling with a smartphone means taking a lot of help with you, but what are the apps that can make your holidays unique?

After a year of work, calls at lunchtime, alignments and briefings, you are there to mark the days left to relax on the calendar. It is very close to departure, you already see yourself lying in the sun on a golden beach and it is there that you remember that one last step is still missing: to prepare your bags.

PackPoint was created to come to your rescue. This app will help you not forget anything, by giving you recommendations based on your destination, the expected weather and the reason for your trip. Once you have entered everything you think is useful for your departure, you can share your check list with your friends, to help them prepare their bags and be an inspiration.

AroundMe

You leave with friends and with that desire to conquer the world in just seven days but then, once you arrive, you spend hours scrolling pages on Google, reading reviews on TripAdvisor, trying to figure out what to do.

What are we going to do tonight? Where do we go tomorrow? AroundMe was created to help you plan your days. The perfect travel app, which allows you to find not only points of interest such as restaurants, hotels, theaters, parking lots, but also hospitals or closest pharmacies thanks to GPS.
