Around Us: Travel guide & maps

About

You walk past a facade, a statue, a little square, and keep going. Yet every one of these places has a story to tell. Around Us helps you discover the places around you, then gives you a second reading of them: their history, their anecdotes, their secrets. Wherever you are, around the corner or on the other side of the world, the city becomes a story. ▸ Discover what's around you Open the map and millions of places appear, from must-see landmarks to hidden gems only locals know. Statues, viewpoints, charming lanes, historic cafés, parks, museums: filters help you find what suits you, and every place card gives you the essentials at a glance. ▸ Listen to the story of places With the audio guide, put your phone away and look up. In one minute, a captivating narration tells you about the place in front of you: what happened there, who built it, the detail nobody notices. You no longer just walk by, you understand what you're looking at. With Around Us+, more than 500,000 places have their own audio guide. Give your full attention to what you see, let the story carry you and leave with its secrets. Playback continues with the screen locked, and you can share it with your loved ones through SharePlay. ▸ Ask your travel assistant "A nice brunch spot nearby?", "What to see in Lisbon in one day?": ask by text or by voice. The assistant suggests places, builds an itinerary and creates lists for you. ▸ Plan and live your itineraries Choose your stops, organize your route on foot, by bike or by car, and fly over it in 3D before you even leave. ▸ See the world differently In augmented reality, raise your phone: the places around you appear in their direction, with their distance. Perfect for finding your way and missing nothing. ▸ Save and share your discoveries Save your favorites, build your collections (a street art walk in Berlin, the most beautiful viewpoints in Rome) and get inspired by other travelers' ones. Read their reviews, add your own, share your photos and reveal your own hidden gems. ▸ A community of curious minds Around Us grows every day thanks to a community of passionate travelers. Follow those who inspire you, contribute and help others explore differently, away from tourist traps. ▸ Everywhere with you On iPhone, iPad and Mac, Around Us is with you from planning your trip to the corner of your street. ▸ Around Us+ An optional subscription to go further: audio guides, travel assistant, augmented reality, premium filters, unlimited itineraries and collectible souvenir medals.
