extra money never was this easy

Travel is more integral to culture than ever. Going somewhere new, whether for work or for a brief moment of leisure, has become cheap, quick, and easy. But what do you do when you get there? Lean on these five apps to guide you around a new city when you’re on the clock.
Guides
Sometimes you don’t think to snag one of those touristy guidebooks before the wheels hit tarmac. Or the ones you can find are either out of date or aimed squarely at the retiree set. Guides is a bit more dynamic in how it shows you around a city, tying into Lonely Planet’s vast team of travel writers and locals and ensuring that you pick out only the events and places that qualify as “can’t miss.”
Yelp
We know, we know, Yelp has its problems. And there are many who have good reason to hate the site. But it also has an incredibly useful geolocation feature that makes it much easier to navigate around a city you don’t know, beyond just deploying Google Maps and hoping for the best. Not only will Yelp help you find the best food near you, it’ll also make it easy to see how other wayfarers responded to the joint.
Trip
You can find yourself in strange places at off times in the course of traveling, and Trip works a bit like a clock, shifting recommendations and ideas for places to go based on the time of day, day of the week, your exact location and, of course, your personal tastes. In other words, if you feel a hankering for sushi in the middle of Chicago, you’ll be able to pull open the app, spot the restaurants around you, and go from there.
CultureTrip
Want to be a little more cultured where you travel? CultureTrip is all about local culture, be it dynamic arts scenes, performances, oddball spaces with happenings going on across the city you’re in. It’ll direct you well beyond the typical museums and theaters to the beating heart of culture in a city, and let you experience something new in an unfamiliar place.
HotelTonight
Of course, sometimes the “24-hour stay” is because you get stranded. Or you miss your flight, or you take an overbook, or somehow otherwise wind up stuck. You need a hotel room, and HotelTonight tells you which rooms are closest, and cheapest. Just fire up the app and it’ll tell you where to go and what fits your budgets.
What apps do you use when you’ve got a new city and a countdown clock for wandering it? Let us know in the comments!
