Important Apps

This page lists apps and websites that will be useful throughout the eurotrip. Apps or websites for specific cities or countries will be found on the specific country's page.

= Accommodation =

AirBnB
Make sure that people don't sign up for AirBnB all at once. Invite codes give you a $25 discount. So, collaborate and most of you should be able to get this joining bonus.

HostelWorld
The best hostel app. Do read the reviews carefully.

= Planning =

Google Sheets
Plan in collaboration on Google Sheets.

= Sight-seeing =

Google Maps
You can download maps for offline use.

You can also switch on track location and at the end of your trip get a beautiful graphic of everywhere you have been and the travelling routes you took.

Triposo
Triposo is a project started by two ex-Googlers that aggregates all the public domain information on various cities and makes it available offline on your phone including a full map, metro map, restaurant suggestions, day-trips and of course, sightseeing suggestions. They are usually available as city-specific or country-specific apps (~300 MBs), so you don't have to download the whole app. You can find the links on the country/city-specific page. Their blog is also worth checking out.

= Travel =

Rail Planner
This is the most important app for you EuroTrip and you are going to be using this all the time.

Ryan Air
The cheapest flights you will find. Make sure you check-in online atleast a day before your flight, have a physical print-out of your ticket (compulsory for non-EU citizens), have luggage that conforms to their requirements otherwise the extra fees you will end up paying will be more than the ticket price.
