Without Borders: 6 Apps for Traveling in Russia

Without Borders: 6 Apps for Traveling in Russia

Save money on a trip, make a route, listen to a tour – all this can be done with the help of several services.

You need to know how to have a vacation. Fortunately, with the help of modern services, planning a trip has become easier, and some of them also help you save money. Here are six useful travel apps.

SkyScanner

Airfare prices can vary depending on the selling service. Initially this app existed as an aggregator, but now you can find everything you need for your trip on the site: buy tickets not only for the plane, rent a car and book a hotel.

BlaBlaCar

Perhaps the cheapest trips can be planned through this service. BlaBlaCar operates in 22 countries and connects drivers with fellow travelers, allowing you to move quickly and profitably between cities. Through the service, you can book a car or bus to travel with you. Travel is often several times cheaper than airfare or train travel.

Izi.travel.

This app will be useful both when traveling and in your hometown. In it you can find dozens of excursions in almost every city in the world: Izi.travel has more than 15 thousand audio guides. A great alternative to group tours.

Airbnb

Another useful application for those who prefer to organize everything on their own. The site allows you to rent accommodation for any length of time and at any cost directly from the owner.

Unlike a hotel, you will be able to arrange check-in and check-out times with the owner of the apartment, as well as read reviews from travelers who have rented a room or apartment before you.

Sygic Travel Maps

This is for those who plan their trips down to the last detail and don’t like to download multiple apps for the same purpose. Sygic Travel Maps is a great option to keep your travel data in one place.

The service allows you to create a route around the city, find out the opening hours of museums and the cost of entrance tickets, as well as share your plans with friends. Not only world capitals, but also major Russian cities are available in the application.

Tripadvisor

A rare case when the popularity of the service plays into the hands of the traveler. Through Tripadvisor you can not only book a hotel, tickets and a table in a restaurant, but also read reviews.

Some users of the service make their own selections and advise on which places to visit: which cafes are best for children, which excursions to choose, and which sights are not worth spending time and money on.
