Who are we?

Travelling has long been one of our deepest passions. There is nothing more fulfilling than the smell of a new beach, the sounds of a new city, the traditions of a different culture, and the flavors of a different cuisine. That is why we started this fascinating adventure and founded Citynsider. We are here to accompany young travelers, making them live the best experiences ever. With our carefully selected city insiders, we only recommend places we truly find amazing. Everything else is worthless.

We are six young keen travelers and our dream is to make something together. Due to our international universities and experiences, we had the opportunity to travel a lot and meet new friends from all over the world. We want to exploit all this and start a new adventure together...taking you along!

"Citynsider is a web community of young and curious travelers that allows you to know where young locals hang out and make quick and reliable travel choices, as if a friend would advise you on where to go.

Thanks to Citynsider, you won’t waste time choosing among an overwhelming amount of options anymore. Yet Citynsider will provide you with a few, select and tailored suggestions”

It is based on the idea that the first thing a person does before visiting a new city is to call a friend, who knows it, for a couple of advice. He/she will tell you where to hang out, providing just a few and reliable options. Likewise, according to your needs, Citynsider will come up with 3/4 suggestions from Insiders based on your taste and needs. In this way, you will avoid the risk of spending hours choosing from the thousands options that the normal guides provide, not even knowing whether the choice would satisfy you.

We decided to make it grow on an invitation only basis in order to guarantee high quality contents and to be sure that people who join Citynsider are eager to be part of this amazing community. Hence, sharing the same way of travelling and willing to share their own experiences, with the aim of making others’ trips memorable!

Mission:

Making young and curious travelers enjoy their trips as insiders, providing friendly tips within a web community that shares the same passion.

Vision:

Citynsider wants to be the most reliable and useful travel advisor for young and curious travelers.

Values:

Citynsider will provide only suggestions from Insiders that truly know the cities they will gonna write about. They will be appointed Insider only if they share our same passion and if they have spent a certain period in the city. Since we want to provide only unbiased tips, we will not reach agreements with bars, restaurants and other places. We just want to co-create a useful travel guide with all those young travelers that, like us, have a deep passion and are eager to discover the world. Hence, for those who are no longer content with classic guides.
