A great way to discover the heart of the city — cool cafes, eclectic boutiques, authentic restaurants, art districts, etc. Locals go. Forget about carrying old guidebooks around town or trying to find out whether a website travel review is from a tour operator or a legitimate traveler, many startups have created apps to connect tourists with local people, providing them with first-hand experiences of what to eat. Look, do and do. From sleeping in a local apartment to cooking your meals there, these 16 apps make you an insider on the go. 1. AIRBNB Airbnb is a trusted community marketplace to list, find and book exclusive accommodations around the world. Whether it’s an overnight apartment, a fortress a week, or a one-month villa, Airbnb connects people with unique travel experiences in more than 34,000 cities and 190 countries, at any cost. And with world-class customer service and a growing consumer community, Airbnb is the easiest way for people to make extra money and showcase to millions of viewers. 2.

Whether you want to explore hawker food stalls in Singapore or taste Filipino-inspired tapas and cocktails in San Francisco, dinner offers a shared dining experience at unique locations around the world. 3. Meetup Meet friends for drinks, movies, and concerts wherever you are. Sure, these people are not your friends yet, but they may be soon. From tech talks to trivia, hikes to happy hour, filling your interests, and Meetup falls into those categories of what’s happening around you, helping you meet people who share your interests anywhere in the world. 4. Field trip People confuse you with the locals as you drive them to radar eateries while ripping off fun facts and local history. Depending on your current location and interests, this app recommends what you should see, eat and do around you, and will tell you as soon as you get close to something interesting (food and drink, architecture, history), drawing from websites like Zagat and Atlas Obscura. 5.

This app plugs you in what’s happening at the best local clubs and dives wherever you are, and you can place a request for the place you’re looking for, and even see nearby partiers. Whether you want to go out for a nice happy hour or party away for the night, you can skip all the touristy places (with expensive drinks) and get right to the community of people who go out in the city on a regular basis. Like Meetup, users post their plans and you can piggyback on them, meet people for drinks at the wine bar, or take shots at a hot new club. 6. Tinder The people we meet change our lives. A friend, a date, a romance, or even facing an opportunity can change one’s life forever. Tinder empowers users around the world to create new connections. Unlike real life, Tinder only receives messages from people who are interested in you. 7. UrbanBuddy Urban Buddy is a platform to connect hotel guests to locals via real-time chat!

Browse guest special experiences and book their seat for brunch, lunch or dinner. 9. TRIIP The trip will pair you with a local person, who will cook for you at their home for a low fee, show you around town or teach you local expertise. The local experts of the trip will tell you everything from nightlife to family activities. Let them know what you’re looking for, and they’ll send you the whole travel plan with the addresses, pictures, and maps you need to start your local adventure. This is a website, not an app, but your travel plan is mobile friendly. https://medium.com/@fugenx36/best-mobile-apps-for-travelling-e7e6c9826ee7
