A trip anywhere requires a lot of preparation and planning. Regardless of where you are going and what attractions you are planning to visit at your destination, everything can be facilitated with several traveling apps. They’ll not only make your trip more enjoyable, but will help keep the process of going A to Z stay on track.

From needing to find a petrol station in your nearby vicinity to locating places to sightsee, these are the 3 apps you should explore for your next trip within the UK: 

AroundMe 

As you travel throughout a new city or town, you naturally have no idea where places are located. Finding a good restaurant, bar, petrol station, bank, etc. becomes a difficult and tiresome ordeal. And while some guidebooks help in assisting all of this, sometimes it’s not enough. This is where the AroundMe comes in handy. It lets you know of all the locations near you—letting you see where it is on a map and informing you of the best route in getting there. With this single app, you can now easily navigate your way throughout any place in the UK. All things considering, you’ll find yourself having fun on your adventure—and less lost. 

The National Trust

Throughout the UK, there are 550+ locations that the National Trust protects. These include various archeological sites, building and houses. Finding which ones to explore is no easy feat, but the National Trust App will help you find the best places for you to explore throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Within the app, a “What’s On” feature allows you to be notified of the different musical events and festivals, etc. a specific location has—allowing you to properly prepare a trip based on these activities. This app also allows you to save which places you’ve visited as well as create a list of places you’d like to visit in the future. There is a social component to this app, where you can invite your friends to discuss places and plan future trips.

Trail Wallet

Budgeting on a trip is nearly impossible—and yet it’s much more likely with the Trail Wallet app. It keeps track of your daily spending and estimates what you’ll need to spend later on in the day (for lunch, dinner, etc.). The neat thing about Trail Wallet is that it organizes your spending by category and you get to set how much you’d like to spend daily. It’s a tracking tool that makes you more accountable for where your money goes.

Plan your UK trip with ease. Downloading these easy-to-use travel apps will make everything roll more smoothly. Since there’s so much for you to prepare for, having all these little features will undoubtedly be a big help in navigating your way throughout your destination. But before you go anywhere, make sure your home is protected by a security system. Have peace of mind before you embark on your journey.
