The travel guide that tells you to skip the Eiffel Tower. Appricio reads the moment (where you are, the hour, the weather, what you love) and hands you the few places a local would actually choose. Not fifty options. No sponsored placements. No padded directories. One strong recommendation, why it's the one, and what to do instead if you've seen it already. Where Appricio works today Appricio covers 50 deeply curated cities: San Francisco, New York, London, Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Munich, Hamburg, Florence, Dublin, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Seoul, Bangkok, Sydney, Mexico City, Rio and more. Every one of them free, in full. Standing in a covered city, Appricio reads the moment (time, weather, what's near you) and hands you the pick. From anywhere else, browse any Appricio city, plan trips, and find hotels. --- Right Now Open the app on a sunny Tuesday morning in Munich and you get a pancake spot worth the walk, not "top 50 cafes in Munich." Open it at 11pm in Barcelona and you get the bar that's actually good tonight, not the most-reviewed one from 2019. Walks Open the app where you stand and it lays out the day: coffee, the sights, lunch, the light, dinner, a last drink, in an order that makes sense on foot, with the way between them on the map. It knows the hour, the weather and what is closed. Start it and it walks with you. Where the sights are a drive apart, it is a tour by car on real driving times. Where the city is made for it, a day by bike along its signature ride, with the bikes at the start and the way back at the end. Today's walk where you stand is free; the other days of the place are Plus. Events The big stuff that defines a city: Oktoberfest, Sant Jordi, the NYC Marathon, Wimbledon, cherry blossom season in Tokyo. Chosen for what actually matters, with editorial that tells you why, plus the practical bits (where to stand, when to arrive, what to skip). The Magazine One short, opinionated article a month about your city: the first 24 hours, where the city eats lunch, the museums worth your time, the bars that are not for tourists, weekend getaways, this season as it happens. Every place named is a live Appricio venue: tap it, save the article, share it, or plan the trip from it. Free to read, in all 50 cities. Arrival alerts Arrive in Munich during Oktoberfest and Appricio tells you, even with the app closed: "You're in Munich. Oktoberfest is on." It checks on your phone against its own list of major events, at most once a day, and never sends or stores where you are. Trips Tell Appricio where and when, and it shapes recommendations to your dates and the arc of the trip: softer hits on day one, deeper cuts by day four. Browse the city by lane while you plan: eat, cafe, see, experiences, shop, nightlife. Plan it day by day, and find where to stay with hand-picked hotels chosen for fit, not commission. Plan any moment The context bar is yours to move. Tap the time to see this morning, lunch, the afternoon or tonight, with the forecast for that hour. Tap the place to plan the next town over, or a city you are flying to. One tap on Now brings you back to where you stand. --- What makes Appricio different - One opinionated pick, not a sea of options - Real local knowledge in the editorial, not generic copy - Authenticity-scored (we know the difference between a tourist trap and the place locals actually go) - Skips icons gracefully when you're not into landmarks - No ads, no sponsored content, no paid placements What Appricio is not - A reviews aggregator (Yelp does that) - A directory you scroll forever - A feed of sponsored placements (we never rank by commission) - A social network Appricio is what to do, where you are, right now, and a real plan when you travel. --- Built by travelers, for travelers.

Street Artwork

Street Artwork turns every city into an open-air gallery. Open the map: thousands of geolocated artworks appear around you. Graffiti, murals, paste-ups, stickers, mosaics — spotted, photographed and kept up to date by a community of enthusiasts. MADE FOR THE STREET, NOT THE SOFA • The map comes first: zoom into your neighbourhood or a city you are visiting, then walk. • More than 600 cities, ranked by how much art they hold, each with its own map. • Directions to any artwork in one tap, in the maps app you already use. • Every time you open the app, what is new near you since your last visit. A MAP THAT TELLS THE TRUTH Street art fades, gets painted over, disappears. Here you can report a work you could not find: after a second report it carries a warning for everyone. And when it is still there, say that too. Nobody should cross town for an empty wall. YOUR FIELD NOTEBOOK • In front of the wall, "I saw it" in one tap: the work is filed with the date, then shows up with an eye on the map and in every list. • Keep the artworks and artists you love in one place. • Earn badges as your finds add up, follow your progress to the next tier, and hunt down the secret badges. • Climb the hunters' leaderboard, this year or all time. YOUR INVASION Hunting Invader's mosaics? See your board city by city, with your points and the pieces you still have to find. Import your log by pasting your codes, or let the app read a video of your gallery. THE ARTISTS Profiles, biographies, works from around the world and a map for each artist. Artists can claim their own page and keep it themselves. CONTRIBUTE Photograph a work: the app reads its location, you add the title and the artist. A few screens and it is done. You can also offer a better photo of a work already on the map. HUNTER PREMIUM Follow artists and cities to hear about every new piece. Take a whole city offline before you leave. Get alerted when a work you have not seen yet comes within 150 metres while you walk. Import your Invader collection from a video of your gallery. And browse with no ads. Free, worldwide. The map grows with the community: every photo you add shows someone else a work they would have walked past.
