This app is the wisest when it comes to how to get somewhere – just ask it where you want to go and it’ll let you know all your transportation options!

From there it suggests all the local sights and recommendations based on your preferences. Details are saved even when offline so you can access your pocket travel agent wherever you are!
10. SnapSeed
If you fancy yourself a bit of a photographer then SnapSeed is the editing app for you. It’s not the most obvious in terms of function, but once you’ve mastered its magic then you’ll be impressed by the editing options.
11. Google Translate
Sounds obvious but you might need some help with the local lingo – so Google Translate has cleverly made an app that allows you to translate words, phrases, and even sentences to another language. This clever app can even read signs for you – out loud!
12. Hang Over
Instead of wondering where those hang overs came from, you’ll know! Keep a track of all those shots with this handy app that allows you to check when you’ve got too over excited with the local schnapps and remind you to have some days off. Android only.
