## What is Bona Ventura?

Bona Ventura is a travel guide for 30 cities that points you to the places residents go, as well as the sights you came for.

CITIES

WHAT IS INSIDE
- History and museums: palaces, churches, collections and small museums, with the days a museum is free to enter
- Where to eat: pick street food, a quick bite, local cooking or world cuisine, then your budget per person. Filter for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or halal where a source confirms it.
- Night out: cocktail and wine bars, pubs, clubs, live music and rooftops
- Locals only: cafés, markets, viewpoints, parks and places of worship that visitors tend to miss
- Tips and tricks: common traps, what locals pay, official ticket sellers, etiquette and useful words. Each tip links to its source.
- Get from A to B: starts from where you are, with public transport options for common trips, how to pay, and live directions in your maps app

WHY IT IS IN THE GUIDE
Each place has a card that says why we picked it, with its sources and when it was last checked. Our promise: no ads, no paid rankings, a source for every place.

PLAN YOUR DAYS
Answer eight short questions (how long you stay, what you like, how much you want to walk) and get a plan for every day. Tap a stop to open directions in your maps app. Save the plan to your phone as a PDF trip book with sketch maps, tips and emergency numbers that opens without internet.

TRIP ASSISTANT
Enter your trip dates and the home screen shows what you need at that moment: what to get ready before you leave, arrival steps from the airport into town, your next stop, places closed or free to enter today, the way back at night and the way to the airport on your last day. For Rome, Milan and Venice it also flags planned transport strikes.

YOUR BACKPACK
The small tools you need on the street, one tap away: emergency numbers, the nearest pharmacy, toilet, drinking water or luggage storage in your maps app, sentences to show the waiter in the local language, a currency converter, how to pay for transport, sharing your location with someone you choose, tax-free shopping, and what to do if you lose your passport, with the Turkish mission in each city for Turkish citizens.

WALK AND LISTEN
Walking routes take you stop by stop and read each stop aloud when you arrive. In Wander mode you just walk and your phone tells you about the places you pass, screen off if you like. Stamp the places you visit, collect points and badges and fill your Discovery wheel.

WORKS OFFLINE
Places, routes, tips, your plans and the Backpack work without a connection.

OPTIONAL ACCOUNT
You can use every feature without an account. If you create one with your email or with Sign in with Apple, your points, stamps, reviews, saved places, trips and profile are kept in your account on servers in Frankfurt, Germany, and come back when you sign in on another phone. You can delete your account in the app at any time.

PRIVACY
No ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics: we only count app use anonymously. Your location is used on your phone, only while you use the app. It is never sent to us and leaves your phone only when you search in your maps app or share it. For the taxi fare estimate, your start and destination go to Mapbox to measure the road; Mapbox does not link them to you. Flight, hotel, ticket and car links are affiliate links: we earn a commission, your price does not change and nothing that identifies you is sent.

Languages: English, Turkish, German and Spanish.

Places, prices and opening hours were researched from public sources and are dated in the app. They can change, so check before you go.
