VIAGGIARE IN ESTATE: 4 APP di cui non puoi fare a meno

Krasimir Dimitrov 15 June, 2022

Fa sempre piacere pensare a quanto la tecnologia ci venga in aiuto per rendere più facile la pianificazione delle nostre vacanze, sia a lunga scadenza che all’ultimo minuto, con pochi click e tramite APP. Cosa c’è di più bello che visualizzare virtualmente i posti, sfogliare con un tap le località dei sogni, avere il supporto di un portafoglio digitale, fare tesoro dei commenti e dei suggerimenti forniti da altri viaggiatori ed infine prenotare velocemente un alloggio filtrando le proprie esigenze fra mille scelte?

Tutto questo ormai è a nostra disposizione e vale decisamente la pena affidarsi alle APP più consolidate per avere, letteralmente, il mondo a portata di mano.

 

Ma quali sono i servizi più richiesti ed utili per i viaggiatori? Andiamo ad analizzare le 4 APP di cui non si può proprio fare a meno per organizzare le vacanze estive!

 

Female tourists on hand have a happy travel map.

 

GOOGLE MAPS

 

Google Maps è nata da uno degli sviluppi più interessanti del motore di ricerca Google e consente di localizzare una luogo o un’area di interesse scegliendo fra una mappa lineare e satellitare. Alla pura e semplice visualizzazione geografica si aggiungono poi informazioni utilissime per chi viaggia: stazioni di servizio, alloggi, ristorazione.. il tutto con l’aiuto di filtri che velocizzano la ricerca e l’opzione dello street view (la prospettiva da terra) e la possibilità di spostare la visuale ad un raggio d’azione più ampio.

 

Soprattutto per chi si sposta in macchina, tra i servizi più utili di Google Maps spicca quello del calcolo di distanze e tempi di percorsi stradali, ferroviari, ciclabili e pedonali nonché l’indicazione della situazione attuale del traffico. Da viaggiatori possiamo facilmente affermare che Google Maps ci “vizia” liberandoci da inutili perdite di tempo e spiacevoli complicazioni!  

 

 

iCARD

 

iCard è una APP fondamentale per chi viaggia. Il portafoglio digitale accessibile semplicemente tramite un click apre un mondo di opportunità e offre molteplici servizi su tutti i campi. I dati personali sono al sicuro con le carte virtuali che vengono utilizzate per organizzare e vivere i propri viaggi, dai biglietti all’assicurazione, dal noleggio auto alla prenotazione di ristoranti ed eventi, se necessario anche con servizio di supporto.

 

Grazie a iCard si elimina totalmente il rischio legato alla presenza delle tradizionali carte nel portafoglio, nonché dei contanti e del cambio valuta… sempre problematico nei viaggi all’estero. A questo si aggiunge anche la possibilità di ammortizzare i costi delle commissioni bancarie, di ricevere rapidi trasferimenti di contanti (gratis sia dall’Italia che dall’estero), fare bonifici e pagare contactless semplicemente col proprio cellulare. E per una sicurezza totale si può scegliere la miglior password di sempre: la propria impronta digitale!

 

 

TRIPADVISOR

 

L’APP di TripAdvisor rende molto più facile fugare i dubbi quando si tratta di pianificare un viaggio oppure organizzare una semplice gita perché il parere popolare e le percentuali di gradimento di altri utenti che hanno già vissuto la stessa esperienza parlano chiaro. Se state per partire per una vacanza estiva, vi sarà di certo utile scaricare l’app di TripAdvisor, con il logo del gufetto, e cominciare a leggere recensioni su tutto ciò potrà servirvi a rendere il viaggio memorabile, magari aggiungendo quel qualcosa in più che viene suggerito da altri viaggiatori.

 

Fare tesoro dell’esperienza di chi ci precede è uno degli aspetti più importanti su cui fare affidamento… e il team di TripAdvisor lo sa bene! Le recensioni riguardano in modo particolare alloggi e strutture di ogni tipo, ristoranti, voli, crociere, autonoleggi e tour con relative fasce di prezzo. Insieme alle recensioni è anche interessante il forum di viaggi in cui si chiedono consigli specifici ottenendo una risposta da chi conosce il posto o spesso da chi ci vive.

 

BOOKING.IT

 

Con milioni di strutture ricettive a disposizione, l’APP di Booking è la fonte ideale da cui attingere informazioni su hotel, B&B, alloggi, resort e appartamenti. Cliccando sui filtri, con pochissimi click il campo si restringe secondo le richieste di località, fascia di prezzo, posizione e molti altri servizi come parcheggio, orario di check-in, colazione e wi-fi gratuiti, angolo cucina, bagno privato, piscina, pet friendly, servizio navetta e non da ultimo la valutazione della struttura.

 

Se state per prenotare la vostra vacanza, consultare l’APP di Booking.it può essere fondamentale per scovare una tariffa vantaggiosa e prenotare immediatamente! Del resto Booking.it permette in tantissimi casi di ottenere l’opzione della cancellazione gratuita, ancor meglio senza pagamento anticipato.

    Our websites (including mobile) use cookies and similar technologies, which you can control in accordance with the present policy and the functionality of the websites. This policy applies additionally to any other Legal agreement, terms and conditions or contract provision for the iCard service being used by you. If you do not accept the use of cookies, please disable them by using the control panel (which loads when opening the websites).

    Can I withdraw my consent (where applicable) to the use of cookies and similar technologies?

    What are cookies and similar technologies?
    Cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them, whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies are generated by the server of the visited website when the browser of your device loads it. The website sends information to the browser and creates a text file. Each time the user returns to the same website, the browser extracts this text file and sends it to the website’s server. The information that the cookie contains is specified by the server and may be used by the latter when the website is visited again by the user.
    We use cookies to achieve different tasks such as like letting you navigate between pages efficiently and easily, remembering your preferences and generally improving your experience when browsing. We also use them to ensure that any ads you see on our websites or mobile apps and ads of other third-parties are more focused to you and your interests.
    We also use similar technologies such as ‘pixel tags’ and ‘JavaScript’ to undertake these tasks. Pixel tags and JavaScript are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has our websites or mobile apps. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our websites or mobile apps to another, to provide or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our websites or mobile apps from via online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance.
    If you visit our websites or mobile apps, we will deploy cookies and similar technologies to design an online service more suitable for your device, as well as to prevent and detect fraud. When you visit our website from any device we collect information about your use of the particular website, such as information about the device or browser you use to access the site (including device type, operating system, screen resolution, etc.), the way you interact with this site, and the IP address your device connects from. In many cases, the above said technologies are relying on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning, which means that you may not be able to exercise some activities within our secure online services unless these cookies or similar technologies are installed. Additionally, there might be a chance that we may not be able to process certain transactions if you are physically located in certain countries.
    Cookies set by us are referred to as "first party cookies". Cookies deployed by parties other than us are called "third-party cookies". Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be displayed on or through the website/app. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
    We may not influence or control over third-party cookies. If you would like to find out more about the types of cookies which may be downloaded as a result, please visit the website of the third-party provider to do so.
