Handy map of Ghent with nice places. Ideal if you want to discover a city without having to scroll endlessly on social media to find hotspots. The purchase is also very smooth so you can use the online map immediately.

πŸ‘‹ 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.
