The best travel apps for Android

Already during the time of the Roman Empire, civilization made trips in summer seasons since they went to the coast and warm places to spend their days there. They took advantage of these trips to visit temples, go to festive activities or learn the secrets of the cities where they went. Come on, like now, but in a less massive and slower way since at that time, making a long trip could take days, even weeks. With mechanical and technological evolution, this has become history since we can go from one side of a country like Spain to another in a matter of one hour by plane, five by train and ten by car.

It is not surprising that over the years this practice has been encouraged as it has become a worldwide pleasure and, what is more, many people consider it their main hobby. This is because traveling has many benefits. You know which one is? Some of the benefits of traveling are: Disconnection from the daily routine, so stress levels decrease considerably when we start our trip and, even more, when we arrive at our destination. It brings excitement to your life since the moment you decide to make the trip, your mind begins to plan special places, look for activities, imagine yourself in the place ... We also know new cultures, new traditions, new flavors that make us open our minds and they can even change the point of view of many opinions that you previously had. If you are an open and sociable person, you can meet very interesting people along the way, which will make you happier and have the possibility of making lasting friendships. If you do rural tourism or you like to travel to the mountains or countryside, it helps you to appreciate nature more since the air, energy, landscapes and many other aspects have nothing to do with what we live in big cities.

We have to bear in mind that the fact of being able to travel wherever we want is a privilege that many people cannot do. We can catch a plane and literally be on the other side of the world in less than 24 hours and, on the contrary, there are people who do not go beyond their city in their entire lives. Knowing how to take advantage of this opportunity is our responsibility promoting the tourism industry since many families around the world live from it.

Many companies and passionate people in the world of travel have created innumerable applications that can help you in an incredible way in your trips, either planning them or being already at your destination. We tell you the best:

• Tripadvisor : "THE" application par excellence of travelers. This application helps you decide where you want to stay, activities that you are going to do and even in which restaurants to eat with a simple system of opinions. That is, everything you can find on Tripadvisor is rated by users who have already lived that experience. It is most useful for, for example, discarding a hotel that you had in mind or, if due to economic reasons or another factor you cannot choose another, to be prepared for the shortcomings of that hotel. Another strength of the application is the restaurants because the people of the city itself also make recommendations and that can lead you to discover sites that do not usually appear on tourist websites. And if you still don't know which city you want to travel to, activate the notifications of offers to get a cheap flight to a city that catches your attention.
• Booking : This application is also well known, but it is more focused on accommodation (although you can also find flights and activities). On Booking you can book from the most expensive hotel in the world where you will find the most unimaginable luxuries, to the cheapest hostel for a backpacking adventure with family or friends. For a quick search, you have the option of applying price filters, stars, distance from a point, type of accommodation, services available ... so you will not have to go around a thousand times looking at accommodation where it seems that it is, but then they have some drawback. The reservations you make through the application will not have to be printed, but showing them on your mobile will be enough. How comfortable to travel without papers, right?
• BlaBlaCar : For a more national tourism, we find this app that can save you a lot of money if you are the owner of the car or, if on the contrary you are the guest, make your trip more comfortably. It consists in that the people who are going to make a trip, notify in the application when they are going to do it and the origin and destination so that everyone interested or interested in making that same trip signs up in the offer and can divide expenses. It is very useful for those who have a somewhat complex public transport communication from the city of origin and destination (transfers, bad schedules, high costs ...). In this way, the driver who was going to make the trip saves gas money and the guest gets many facilities. For those people who may think that it is not safe to get into someone else's car, users (both owners and guests) receive a score and an assessment after the trips that will help you decide if you are interested in making the trip with that person or not since people specify what kind of music they have, if they are a very talkative person or not… and according to your tastes, you choose.
• Skyscanner : Although it is also designed to be able to reserve all the basics of your trip through the application (flights, hotel, car rental ...), its strength is undoubtedly the flights. If you have a flexible schedule and an open destination, this is your application. When you do your search, in the dates section there is the option "see the whole month" which takes you to a calendar that marks the cheapest days to travel to a specific destination. If, in addition, you mark the option of "any destination", before the calendar you will see a list of countries and cities ordered from the cheapest price to the most expensive. It is a delight for people who love to find a good bargain.

In addition to all these star applications, you can find guides to specific cities, amusement and theme park applications, a group locator in which you will know all the time where each member of the family is ... and many more!

Start organizing your outings in a more efficient way and enjoy the trip.
