2. Cultures Calendar
This application worth hundreds of dollars is actually free to download. As the name suggests, this application helps you know about the holidays in the country you are in.
If you are in a foreign land, and not sure what people are celebrating there, you are missing a lot of holiday-exclusive events, food festivals, discount offers, and other festivities.
1. HearPlanet
This is a must-have application for every traveler. It costs only $5.99 to have. The application tells you about all the great attractions around you.
