Carta Volta lets you discover a city like a true local. From the typical tourist must-sees to hidden gems you'd never even thought of. The map is beautifully and clearly designed, and filled with love, thanks to Amandine & Angelo. It's always a fun discovery tour, far from tourist traps and sponsored content. I can't wait for them to add more cities!

Very easy for last minute city trips, you can just enjoy local bars and avoid the tourist traps, without hours of research. Looking forward to their new maps 👌

A really fun way to discover a city's hidden gems. We weren't familiar with Mechelen that well, and Carla Volta was a huge help!
 

👋 Meet the Founders

We're Amandine and Angelo, a travel-loving duo with wildly different approaches to exploring cities. One of us dives deep into blogs and TikToks to plan everything down to the last pin and photo spot. The other wanders by instinct and follows the vibes to see where the streets lead.

But we have to admit we've lost count of how often we ended up somewhere overpriced, overcrowded or overrated. Even after hours of research! And that frustration turned into inspiration... It struck us that without exception the best spots in a city are always known by the people who live there. Surprise, surprise.

That's why we created Carta Volta. To make exploring cities easier, richer, and more real. Think of handpicked, authentic hotspots, not sponsored content. The good (hidden) stuff locals love - on a simple, mobile-friendly map.
