Culture Trip

Culture Trip is the go-to place for curious travellers to get inspired, plan and book - all in one place. Our mission is to inspire people to go beyond their cultural boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and culture, special, unique and meaningful. Together with our users, we take a stand for an open, tolerant and cosmopolitan world. We deeply care about this, and aspire to be creative, sustainable and inclusive in everything we do. We help our culturally curious audience explore and experience their world - wherever they are, wherever they go. Our website and app are packed with award-winning travel stories and recommendations, and our customers can turn inspiration directly into reality as they can book online what they read about through our curated collections of places to stay and things to do. While travel might be restricted right now, we know that the universal need to experience life never is. That’s why our ‘Stay Safe, Stay Curious’ campaign invites people to explore and experience their own cities and countries, and get outdoors where possible. We have also launched virtual experiences such as online cooking classes with local chefs, museum tours guided by experts and walking tours through much loved cities that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home.Culture Trip has shown record-breaking growth: monthly unique visitors went up to 15-20 million, app downloads have leapt to more than 2.7 million, social followers have increased to 8 million (in 2019, we were the fastest growing travel and media brand on social media) and our videos have been viewed more than 2.5 billion times since 2016.
