Apps for getting around without fear and without getting lost
1. Omio (formerly) GoEuro
Omio (formerly known as GoEuro)is a fairly well-known platform created to help travelers exploreEurope with ease. You can use the Omio website and app to compare and book train, bus or flight tickets for any destination in Europe. If you want totravel Europe on a backpacker's budget, Omio should be your go-to transportation app. Also, once you've purchased your tickets, you can discover your travel route on web, mobile or app. I recently used Omio to book a train ticket for €21 cheaper than I would have paid at the city train station's ticket office!
Many seasoned travelers consider Omio the best app for train travel in Europe.
2. Rome2Rio
Rome2Rio is an online service that shows potential travel routes between one destination and another. It's a great way to see the best travel route options for your trip and find the best possible way to get to your destination. Unlike Omio, it doesn't display the exact price of each trip— only an approximate amount.
Rome2Rio is one of the best apps for planning a trip to Europe.
3. Skyscanner
Skyscanner is aweb-based app thatshows flight ticket, hotel, and car rental costs from various companies, making it easy to compare prices on the same platform. I used Skyscanner a lot before starting my journey across Europe. If your travel dates are flexible, Skyscanner will allow you to select the month you wish to travel to your preferred destination, and will show the cheapest days to travel in that month.
There's also the possibility to search without a destination, or any specific date whatsoever! Just select your departure city and let the app do its work and discover the cheapest dates and places to travel.
4. AZair
AZair is a site with a super simple and straightforward design that shows countless economic flight trajectories for lost cost carriers. AZair picks the cheapest flight options from multitudes of possible connections, and is great for finding the best airfare prices in Europe. You can quickly find discounted rates for more than 94 airlines with low-cost flights in Europe, the Mediterranean, and Asia.
5. FlixBus
Flixbus is a German bus company recognized throughout Europe for having more affordable (and direct) bus fares than other companies. You can use Flixbus to follow busses in real time and know exactly what time they will arrive and what the stops will be before reaching your final destination. The company also sends emails and texts alerting any delays, in addition to alerts in the app itself. Flixbus currently operates in 29 countries and now has the Flixtrain, which offers train passes for €10.
Flixbus is one of the best apps for Europe travel.
6. BlaBlaCar
BlaBlaCar is a carpooling platform for both short and long distance travel. It operates across Europe and caters to travelers that want to save money by spending only on the cost of travel. Most drivers use BlaBlaCar to give up free space in their car in exchange for help with the cost of gas, making it an excellent environmentally-friendly way to travel.
Sometimes you can find a ride that's considerably cheaper than a bus or train ticket. Plus, there are usually other travelers in the same car, so it's a great opportunity to meet other likeminded people and make friends while traveling!
Finally, if you can't find the perfect ride, you can create an alert to be notified as soon as there is a route that suits your travel needs.
7. CityMapper
CityMapper is a public transit app and mapping service that aims to make city travel as stress-free as possible. It displays all options for a wide range of urban modes of transport, from walking and cycling to driving, bussing, commuting by train, etc.
I use CityMapper regularly to check and compare various itinerary lengths and times. If you know you won't have data, just search for the route you want to take while connected to WiFi and save the results for later.
CityMapper works in various cities in Europe and all over the world and is known as the best map app for Europe.
8. 9292
9292 is great if you're traveling through through Holland.It shows the exact time the bus, metro or train will pass by. Even if transit is delayed, it automatically updates you with the new schedule. You can also put in your origin and destination locations and it will tell you at which point or platform to wait, trip duration and where to get off.
9292 even offers a filter for handicap accessibility!
9. Google Maps
Google Maps is a Google tool that is well-known around the world for its excellent web mapping features, including satellite imagery, aerial photography, street maps, 360° panoramic views of streets, real-time traffic conditions, and route planning for traveling by foot, car, bicycle and air, or public transportation.
Google Maps' 'Explore' tool shows local markets, ATMs, gas stations, hospitals, pharmacies, and convenience stores. The app gives special attention to heavy traffic and long travel times, and offers alternative options for heavily congested routes.
There are also some not-so-well-known features such as saving favorite or save-for-later places, sharing your location with friends in real time and personalizing and saving a map to use offline. Additionally, after downloading a map, the app will continue to show routes for cars, just without traffic updates.
10. Maps.me
Maps.me provides offline maps of the whole world.Unlike Google Maps, once Maps.me has been downloaded you will no longer need the internet for routes for cars, public transport, biking and walking, including trails. Maps.me also displays hotels, attractions and nearby places to eat... all offline!
Maps.me is considered one of the best apps to use when traveling to Europe.

Apps to eat, drink and be merry

Just Eat is is an online food delivery service similar toUberEats in the USA. You can use Just Eat in over ten countries in Europe. Buying is easy and delivery is fast.

Just Eat is considered the best food app in Europe.

16. TransferWise
TransferWiseis a UK-based money transfer service that allows people to send and receive money safely from abroad. The company provides multi-currency accounts and supports more than 750 currency routes across the world including GBP, USD, EUR, AUD and CAD, and provides multi-currency accounts.
Using TransferWise is much cheaper than transferring with a bank. It's very safe and easy to use, and the support is stellar. They also recently launched a debit Mastercard that lets you spend anywhere in the world at the real exchange rate, but for now you have to get on the waitlist.
17. PayPal
PayPaladvertises itself as being the fastest, safest way to send money, make an online payment, receive money or set up a merchant account. It's particularly useful in Europe because various other platforms like Omio, FlixBus, Airbnb and even certain tourist attractions allow PayPal as a form of payment on their websites or apps. I also recently discovered that you can send and receive money between PayPal accounts and the transfer system is fast and easy to use.
18. Money Manager
Money Manager app is indispensable for anyone needing to budget and track their expenses during a trip. Money Manager gives you an overview of your spending and tells you the categories in which your spending is highest. It also creates graphs that illustrate your daily, weekly and monthly financial activity, and tracks your method of payment (cash, card, etc).
Apps to stay and exchange experiences

Bonus app: Colibra
Colibra is a super beneficial and easy-to-use travel app for claiming flight delay compensation across the EU. In true Robin Hood style, the app heads off to the flight company to get you the compensation after any delayed and cancelled flights, for free and all you have to do is register your boarding pass. Might I add, before you takes off!
This Colibra.io app is certainly worth the brief time it takes to use, saving you time trying to chase the flight providers yourself, which can on average take weeks of stress but obviously, also, receiving money, in the bank account, just 24 hours after a delayed flight lands, isn't bad either. This is not the most well-known travel app but is slowly becoming essential, especially in a post-pandemic Europe.
