Maps.me
This a really useful app that you must have when traveling and you don't have access to the internet when you are going.
Maps.me is an app that when installed on your smartphone is going to asks you to download the map of the city where you are.
Before getting on your trip, at home or at the airport you can search for the maps of the cities that you are going to visit and download the map of those or bigger areas like provinces or the country itself.
The maps are changing constantly so if you get an update on your trip take the time to download them, It can include a place that you were looking for before, and now you will see it on the map.
In case, you forgot to take the time to download it before your journey if your accommodation has wifi download it there.
Uber
This app might not require that much introduction 😅
Uber is an app that is based on the location that you set up as a start and the end location can locate an Uber driver near that can make that distance for you, in some cases for less money than a cab.
But as you know can provide you easy transport not just in the city you live if it is available but also in the cities you travel as well if the app is available in that city.
One tip when using it, compare the fares of a taxi to the fares of Uber when getting to the airport or any other place you would like to.
Let me know if you would like me to share my experience in Moscow in the comments below. 😋
If you haven't used the app.

Moovit
If you prefer not to rely on cabs or Uber and want to experience the metro, bus, or tramway systems of the cities you visit, you can easily plan your routes using Moovit. Moovit is a versatile app available in over 2,700 cities across 90 countries worldwide.
With Moovit, even if you're unsure about how to reach your destination, you can navigate the city confidently without getting lost along the way.
A helpful tip I found when using Moovit without an internet connection was to pre-plan my route to my desired location and then keep the app open with the designated route. This way, I could accurately track the stops provided by the chosen bus or transportation system.
Other apps that are going to be useful to have when traveling
Try to have the app of the airliner(s) that you are flying with to do the pre-checking of your flights. Also, the application where you have reserved your accommodations as well as, any tour that you might have arranged.
Some Travel Insurance, have the application, try to ask them if they have one available. And also, the application in case you have booked your flight like JetRadar, Kayak, Skyscanner, etc.
