Country borders, network differences, differences in currency, and language differences are just a few of the problems we all face when moving around the globe. When it’s just a small journey, you might not care. But when it’s a holiday travel, you would want to know where you are going, where to start the journey, where to go after arriving, how to find a network, and where to do what.
These 5 apps are very useful in helping you do a lot during your holiday travels, and they’re free:
1. Rome2rio – planning your route:
Holiday travels are tedious and can get more complicated when you’re struggling to map your route and decide where to go and where to take the bus after arrival. You don’t have to pretend to know a particular place, all you need is Rome2rio and you are good to go.
Rome2rio is amazing. It has accurate route information on more than 158 countries, which is constantly updated by its network of more than 4,800 transportation operatives. Available trains, driving options, flights, ferries, buses, and fares, as well as the estimated time of travel are all provided by Rome2rio’s connected global network.
