The 5 Best Travel Apps For 2020


Remember how hard it was to travel before we had smartphones? If you got lost, you didn't have a GPS. When you needed to communicate, you had to find a payphone. If you needed a translation, you had to have a phrasebook. Now we can hold the best travel apps in the palm of our hands and journey with confidence.

Let's take a look at the essential travel apps you'll want to download if you're traveling soon. (Which we hope you will be!)

It may sound silly, but one of the biggest problems travelers face is finding a public bathroom in a pinch. That's why Flush ranks among the best travel apps. It's a database of restrooms around the globe. Flush will tell you which ones are free, which require payment, which are accessible, etc. If you're in a big city you've never visited before, that can be a lifesaver.
