Shout-out to the people behind Carta Volta! This map is so helpful to get the most out of your citytrip. I generally spend way too much time searching for a nice place for dinner or lunch, but this map made it so much easier. I will definitely use it again in the future!

A handy tool for when you want to visit a city and don't want to spend hours scrolling through TripAdvisor before you know which restaurants and attractions are worth checking out. No worries about missing opening hours and no bickering with your travel partner about whether or not reservations are required at certain establishments. It's worth it!
 

👋 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.
