Philip Houska Summer is in full swing and crowds of people are getting ready to go on vacation. Whether it is a trip abroad or to the beauty of the Czech Republic, it is necessary to plan, organize and then set off. To top it all off, there are hundreds of different mobile apps that will make the whole process easier and more efficient.
Where am I going this year?
Basic question: what place or places do I want to see? If you are not a brave adventurer who hits the terrain without a plan, then you simply cannot do without an answer to this question.
In addition to classic Internet surfing, an application could be used for this SygicTravel. Although it could be used for other activities as part of the overall planning, it is especially suitable for exploring interesting places around the world.
Where I will live?
Once you have chosen the ideal place to spend this year's vacation, you need to find accommodation.
There is nothing to solve within this question. Booking.com is a capable application with which you can book accommodation of any kind around the world. You can also easily transfer the reservation to the Wallet app on your iPhone and you don't need to carry any papers. Toy.
However, if you are not fond of traditional hotels or apartments, then there is an opportunity to reach for the application airbnb. This is exactly the place of people who rent out their rooms for such a group of travelers. You can connect with them straight away and fine-tune all the necessary details directly from your device.
How do I get there?
Securing accommodation in your chosen country is one thing, but of course you also need to plan your journey to your final destination. If you do not plan to spend time in places where you can walk, then it is necessary to get transportation.
Now the question arises as to which form of transport you will choose.
For the flight option, the Czech application is the ideal choice Kiwi.com (formerly Skypicker). Thanks to it, you can "book" a connection from a selection that includes almost 700 different airlines and offers the cheapest available flights, right from the comfort of your iPhone or iPad. Alternatively, you can reach for a similar application Skyscanner or try Momondo, which also tries to find the cheapest possible flights.
However, maybe you don't want to get off the land and prefer to give your car a chance. Once you know the exact address of your destination, just type it into the reliable and world-popular application Waze or offline variants Maps HERE.
It is also possible to take a vacation from the seat of your bike. Whether you get to the place by the mentioned car, if you plan to go cycling around our country, the application will serve you well mapy.cz. Above all, they have the advantage that they also work offline.
What do I take with me?
Have you already thought about what you are going to pack or pack for your vacation, and you are so sure of it that you don't even write it down? Almost everyone knows such situations.
Better write it down. And you don't even have to download anything. The native iOS application Reminders works great, where you can clearly write down the mentioned things and then tick everything off. They automatically synchronize with your other devices, so the management of all necessities will be under complete control.
What to do on site?
If you're going to enjoy all-inclusive luxury and don't want to leave the hotel complex, you probably won't even need the aforementioned apps. However, vacation as such is often associated with getting to know interesting places. Be it ancient monuments, modern buildings, traditional restaurants or various shops.
The right step will be to download the application Triposo. It functions not only as an itinerary or space for booking hotels, but above all as a background for finding interesting places. Through it you can find a wide variety of things that are worth seeing. Or taste it. Another advantage is the possibility of booking various tours or tables in the restaurant. This software venture has many great features and is definitely worth having.
What an app Citymapper? It maps all means of public transport in selected cities of the world. The direct integration of Uber is also interesting.
Everyone probably knows the application TripAdvisor, foursquare a Yelp, which are full of reviews, photos and interesting places from every corner of the world. Whether it is hotels (in the case of TripAdvisor), restaurants, bars and the like.
Other necessary elements for a happy holiday
Of course, a foreign language is also needed in a foreign country. Application Google Translate is a great addition that will banish your fears about a foreign language. You won't be able to fully communicate with it, but it will be useful, for example, when reading menus (using the translation function based on the camera) or it will repeat what you want to say, just in the language you choose.
If you want to keep a certain diary, then there is an option in the form of Bonjournal. A relatively simple interface and interesting functions make this application an ideal companion for recording your experiences. But many already use, for example, the popular one Day One, in which you can also record everything.
