Whats the best app for discovering cool places in a foreign city?
I'm off to Rome next week, I want to find an app with guides on how to see a city in a few days. Walking tours would be ideal!

- Haven't tried the new version, but it's Foursquare, so, there you go :)Arun Sathiya4Prev, marketing at Freshworks Inc. · WrittenFoursquare is the best place discovery app yet. On par with Google Maps and works really well.Foursquare is what locals actually use and rate on. Plus, it's so detail-oriented. Not just generic people complaining about a server at their mother's birthday party. Actually good tips about individual dishes, where to sit, and more.

- Harold CummingtonProduct Manager at Slark · WrittenYelp has discovery tools for finding cool places and also seeing reviews for those places.
- Guillaume BroderMobile Developer · WrittenA really great app with nice guides and all the best places to see. You an also download the guide to read offline which can be really helpful.

- Harold CummingtonProduct Manager at Slark · WrittenPokestops and Gyms are crowdsourced based on places that people find interesting. Plus you get to catch Pokemon while you're at it. Why bother looking at old buildings when you can capture virtual battling monsters? But all jokes aside, it's actually surprising how good of a discovery tool this is (specifically for little things like murals, cool buildings, etc probably the kinds of things you wouldn't find in a tourist guide).
- Yonas AlizadehFounder & CEO at Hellow · WrittenYonas Alizadeh made this productInstead of looking up places online, then why not use the local people to show you the places?
- Mark ColganB2B SaaS Marketer - Marketing Automation · WrittenSearch for the hashtag of the city you are visiting. I did this in pretty much every country when I was travelling and found some really cool places that the "locals" we're visiting. One of my highlights was ending up at a jazz night in Argentina (and I was the only non-Argentinian there). Plus, people only tend to post the best of / show off worthy photos on Instagram.
- Josh IndigCo-Founder, NewReality.io · WrittenSpot is great for the long-tail for cool places in a new city.
- Adrian Craigco-founder, CEO of Llama · WrittenMy team and I created Llama because we were largely dissatisfied with the current options out there. It's a platform for travelers to make lists of things to do on their trips which, if public, are discoverable by other travelers on Llama. It also has google-docs style collaboration for making lists together. Look for Llama on PH tomorrow!
- Carlos CervantesCarlos Cervantes is a Dev @PillowHomes · WrittenI love the UI of the Trip.com app. They not only show the most popular things to do in any city including your home city, but also the best local events each week.
