Have you ever wished to not be a typical tourist and to quickly find out the hip parties, avant-garde concerts or interesting lectures the city holds?
To find out rather quickly "secret" stores, galleries and cafes? well, you can do it buying the monthly time out magazine but it is often in the foreign language you do not know either.
well, with culture map, an app for google maps, you can search any city and find out the cultural activity for that day in both touristic or hidden typical places.
The goal is that any cultural institution provides its daily agenda not only on its website but on this app. this way, as you search trough town, several pop ups appear, wether you click on talks - for lectures, walks - for special tours around town, eats, listens or sees. For this, you can access different categories: Porto Walks, Porto Talks, Porto Visits, Porto Eats, Porto Listens, and so on.
This makes it much easier to access the hidden culture rather than having to go to the city info center or the hall of your hotel. also, you stop carrying as many papers and stop being so confused.
For instance, when i first arrived to rotterdam, i knew about the boijmans, the churches or even the market. but what about the galleries? where does art and culture really live and breath not only standing in walls of museums?
How many times have you travelled to a new city and felt you didn't even know were to begin to enjoy the real - not only touristic - cultural life?
