WHAT IT IS: A free mobile travel guide that covers the world.

WHY WE LIKE IT: We’re avid travelers, so we happily welcomed Triposo to our arsenal of travel tools. The app offers guides with detailed maps and beautiful photos for thousands of destinations in more than 200 countries and highlights places to see, stay, eat, and explore.

Best of all, this app works offline. Simply download your selected guides while connected and then access all of the content and maps via your smartphone while you travel. This is especially helpful if you are traveling overseas.

Triposo’s Mini Guides and City Walks are centered on themes like neighborhoods, architecture, shopping, the arts, restaurants, outdoor activities, and more. The content is constantly changing so it’s fresh and relevant. Recent upgrades include the ability to book hotels and tours directly and to customize your itinerary.

HOW MUCH IT COSTS: It’s free! The app is available for any device, iOS or Android.

NOW, TAKE THE FIRST STEP: Visit triposo.com or download the app. You can access the content immediately or create an account using Facebook or an email address. Whether you’re a globetrotter or just want to discover new experiences in your own city, give it a try. Bon voyage!
