Best Free Travel Apps

Travel Apps: these are the best. All tried and trusted by yours truly and all absolutely free to use. Duolingo has a premium version and the rest have purchasing abilities on them, but these apps work without brilliantly having to spend a penny.

Duolingo

If you’re headed to a far flung destination, chances are you don’t know the local language. Duolingo has a wide selection of languages and will teach you the basics. Pair it with a phrase book in case of emergencies and you’ll have no time navigating your new surroundings.

Tripadvisor

With an unofficial motto of ‘Do your research!’ is it shocking that tripadvisor made the list? The world is full of hidden gems waiting to be discovered, and full of places one might rather avoid. Tripadvisor will give you a better idea of which is which. No amount of time on here is ever wasted.

Expedia

Plan, search for, and book your hotel, flights, cars, and tours all in one spot. Bundling things together like this makes them cheaper, and what’s even better is that they give you one price for the entirety of your trip. The app portion on your phone will hold all of your digital tickets for the trip too! I’m not being paid by them by the way, they’ve given me no money and not contacted me at all, I just love their website and what they do.

AirBnB

Sometimes hotels are pricey, unavailable, or just in the wrong spot. Sometimes you just need a bit more space! I’ve used it AirBnB several times, once for a trip to Dublin, once for Wales. Both times I was able to get a full, private flat for the same price as a hotel room! This works out great for families, those with special dietary needs or who are looking to save a bit on food costs, and for those of us who just need a bit more space. Read the reviews carefully, and you should have an amazing space to look forward to when you book AirBnB.
