Hello,

We invite you to share information regarding some of the apps that have helped to facilitate your move abroad in Italy. This will help expats-to-be who are making the move as well.

What apps do you use the most for your everyday life in Italy: whether it's for transport, managing finances, general information, learning the language of your host country, leisure activities, etc.?

How does this technology help you in your everyday life as an expat?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

A few of my favourites.

Vert: I use this app for unit conversions (including currencies)

Moovit: For public transportation times, schedules and stations

Hotel Tonight: Excellent last minute hotel booking app. Payment is via app and only a select, thoroughly vetted, few establishments (of all comfort and prize ranges) are featured. All you have to do is show up at reception.
