ShortTrips Map

Maps from guides who have actually been there

Maps of checked places from a team that has been running tours in Iceland, the Dolomites and Germany since 2019. We visited every single spot ourselves.

300 places across Europe. No spam: the map opens straight in the app or the browser.

Sound familiar?

We have been guiding groups through these places for seven years. Everything we learned on foot went into the maps.

  • Forty saved posts on Instagram. Not one of them findable on the trip.
  • You drive to a blogger's hidden gem. Three coaches in the car park.
  • An evening before the trip spent on fifteen tabs. Still no route.
  • The reviews say 4.8 stars. On site there is a fence and a building site.
  • The navigator gets you there. Nowhere to park, next turn five kilometres away.
  • You ask an AI where to go. You get the same five places as everyone else.

What is inside every map

Checked on foot

Spots from our own tours and scouting trips, not from other people's blogs. If a place goes bad, we remove it.

All the logistics

How to get there, where to park, what the entrance costs, how much time to allow.

Without the crowds

For popular places we write down when to arrive to find them empty.

  1. 1

    Pick a map and pay. One purchase works both on iOS and in the browser.

    Open it on your phone. Every spot already has a description, photos and logistics.

  3. 3

    Go. The spots are at hand and a route is one tap away.

What people say

AAnyaIceland map
We stood at the waterfall alone. Two kilometres away, at the Instagram one, there was a queue to get out of the car park.
OOlgaEurope map
I planned the Dolomites for a week. With the map I put the route together in one evening, and it worked: the timings matched almost to the minute.

The note about parking saved us an hour. You cannot google that.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay once, the map is yours for good, updates included.

How do paid maps differ from the free one?

The free one has 300 spots with short descriptions. The paid ones are detailed: day-by-day routes, parking, entrance fees, timing.

Where does it work?

An iOS app and a web version in any browser. One purchase covers both.

Will the spots go stale?

We run tours in these regions and update the maps after every season.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days if the map turned out not to be for you.

Will there be new countries?

Yes. Maps you own keep getting new spots for free, and new countries come out as separate maps.

One map costs less than a single dinner on the road, and it stays with you for good.
