As a solo traveller who has roamed across continents with nothing but a phone and a backpack, I’ve tested dozens of travel apps and websites. In this post, I’ve rounded up the top 47 travel apps and websites of 2025 – from popular favourites to powerful new entrants that are changing the way we explore the world.
