These days, with the help of the internet, everything is easier. Here is a short selection of our 12 essential apps that will be a great help on your trip:

Before the trip: "Get ready"

  1. Packpoint: What should I take? Will I forget something? All your doubts will be settled in a matter of seconds with this app, which will advise you on what luggage to bring depending on your destination and programme.

  2. XE Currency: Check how much your money is worth anywhere in the world, also available without an internet connection.

  3. FlightAware: There's no need to download each airline's app. With this one you can track your flights in real time, receive alerts and see delays.

  4. Splitwise: Keeping track of trip expenses can be a headache, especially when travelling in a group. Ideal for saving yourself problems and splitting costs.

During the trip: "Get around the city"

  1. Aroundme: An app that is more optimised than Google Maps, more intuitive and useful when you find yourself helpless in the middle of a city you don't know. Find parking, banks and cash machines, restaurants, historic monuments, pharmacies…

  5. Flush: Turn on your GPS and find the nearest toilet registered in the app.

  6. Chiringuito: The guide to beach bars in your pocket. It lets you find the best beach bars, restaurants and beach clubs on the beach.

  7. Weather PRO: A weather app with lots of information, including the weather at ski resorts, beaches, and more. And most importantly, it's accurate!
