Do you enjoy self-paced travel and exploring hidden corners of cities? Have you ever read travel articles and wished you could have them as your own pocket guides, with all the relevant location data, when you’re out and about? GPSmyCity allows you to do just that with its travel article apps. Read on to find out more about this unique concept, as well as a limited-time giveaway opportunity!
Who are GPSmyCity and what are travel article apps?
GPSmyCity is a long-standing platform that has dedicated itself to enhancing travel for people who enjoy exploring cities on foot, whether it be major sights or lesser-known spots off the beaten track. Its mission is indeed nicely summarised by its slogan of ‘Lose Yourself Without Getting Lost’.
And it delivers on this through an extensive library of self-guided city walks and detailed GPS-powered travel articles written by local experts and experienced travellers for 1500+ cities worldwide. These article apps have the unique twist of featuring embedded GPS locations, allowing you to easily map out a walk based on exactly where you want to go and what you want to see. And the best bit? There’s even an option to download it all offline for even easier access.
How can travel article apps benefit you?
As mentioned, travel article apps give you the freedom to curate your very own travel experiences. You can do everything at your own pace, independently, while still having access to expert information and accurate location details in the palm of your hand.
The offline navigation option means you don’t have to worry if you don’t have internet when you’re out and about (nor do you need to contemplate expensive roaming charges).
And, equally importantly, it takes the stress and time out of your travel-itinerary planning; the travel article apps are essentially ready-made guides written by real people who either live in the destination or have travelled there extensively and have on-the-ground experience of the itinerary. So, like travel blogs, you can expect them to provide genuine information and insider tips created with actual travellers in mind.
I have personally both contributed to the app as a blogger and used it as a consumer – as both a traveller and even in my hometown. Because that’s another benefit of this concept; there’s nothing to stop you from being a tourist in your own city either! I’ve definitely discovered some cool things to see and do on self-guided walks around Perth thanks to the GPSmyCity app.
How can you access the GPSmyCity travel article apps?
Visit the GPSmyCity website, which will direct you to download the app if you have not already done so. Alternatively, you can search for the app yourself in the App Store or Google Play.
Below are some of the articles I have contributed on GPSmyCity, which you will be able to access once you have downloaded the app. These are available to read for free as plain articles, or, for a small fee, you can choose to upgrade to enjoy the offline, GPS features.

To help introduce you to the GPSmyCity concept and its travel article apps, my Beijing, Athens and Baku guides will be available for FREE download from their launch date until 5 May 2025. This means you’ll have access to the apps’ full, upgraded version free of charge for that particular period, allowing you to try out all its premium features and get a feel for how it works.
If you’re reading this after 5 May 2025, you will unfortunately no longer be able to access the guides for free, but you will still be able to purchase them via the GPSmyCity app.
Final thoughts on the GPSmyCity concept
As both a travel blogger who has contributed to the app, and a consumer who has benefited greatly from the real-life, genuine information it offers for 1500+ cities worldwide, I think the GPSmyCity concept is an absolutely fantastic resource for streamlining and enhancing curated, self-guided travel.
I’ve already downloaded a couple of guides for my next trips and cannot wait to use them to explore the lesser-known sides of my destinations. I hope you find them useful too!
