For the reason that apps tend to be inaccurate, we have gathered 6 essential apps that you can choose from and get around Milan very easily and find whatever you desire.

Duolingo
If you don’t speak Italian and cannot understand some sentences, Duolingo will help you in this matter. The app is free to download on iOS and Android and you can learn even on the go many languages, including Italian. The app is also easy to use and quite animated, which gives the user the ability to interact with the app as you will do with a normal teacher.
The app uses short phrases and animated images that will attract the user even more.
Easy Metro
If you don’t want to use the tram or the Milan airport taxi service, download the Easy Metro app and get around Milan very fast. The app is very complex, yet very simple to use. It does not only show you the main metro stations, but also some pubs, restaurants, and markets near the stations, so if you ever doubt if the market is there, the app will announce you right away.
Not only will the app show you the main stations and some landmarks, but also it warns you about some events that take place near the station. Disruptions or accidents are also displayed on the app in real time.
The app is available for free on any platform, but it can also be bought for $0.99 to have access to all the app can offer as a Pro package.
Car2Go
Ever wondered if smart cars exist? Well, they do, thanks to the Car2Go app. The app is linked to the car’s computer and you can rent the car with your app. Once you open the app, the app will charge a fee only at the beginning for opening the app, and then you can search for a smart car near you and all cars are two seated Smarts.
Before downloading the app, be sure to have a valid driver’s license and a credit card to be able to make the payment. The app withdraws money for how long you drive the car and stops when you stop the car. Another thing to be considered is that the cars are eco-friendly. Also, the service is very cheap, meaning that a minute drive costs around $1, so you can really save up money and time using the app.
Once you are done with the car, you don’t need to return it to the spot. Simply just park it in a designated area and that’s it.
WeTap
Especially in the hot summer days, Milan can be a true headache and heat strokes are often when you don’t drink water. To avoid buying bottled water from shops and stores, you can download WeTap. It is a free app to download and very useful. Water may not pour instantly, but the app shows you the exact spot of fountains with drinkable water.
As a matter of fact, there are hundreds of these fountains in Milan and one could be right next to you, but with the app, you cannot miss one. Locals say that these fountains have the best drinkable water in the entire city.
