Małopolska Tourist Information System – with a free application towards modernity!

We all love traveling and we are increasingly using modern technologies with, for example, GPS, instead of using our fingers to  trace things on paper maps. We like to save places worth seeing, verify addresses of restaurants where we can try the best local flavours, create memos in virtual notes about places off the beaten track, and copy maps to the clipboard so we can open them when we’re on our hike. What if it were all saved in one space? We thought it through very carefully and created a project that combines modern technologies with traditional planning. For this purpose, a free VisitMałopolska application has been created to download to your mobile devices This simple and intuitive application is your private and reliable guide that you will always have with you. All you need is the Internet, access to the location of the device, camera and Bluetooth enabled. The application will give you access to tourist news and a calendar of events in the region. You will also find descriptions and business cards of the most interesting attractions in Małopolska. Reaching them will be easier thanks to an interactive map that will always help you determine your destination. Most importantly, you have it all at your fingertips all the time! No more hurriedly leafing through maps or looking for the right page in a paper guide. One or two clicks and you have a comprehensive description of the place you are interested in!

We pay for curiosities with Beacons!

This is a kind of network of ‘lanterns’ that will make your sightseeing even more attractive! A special device sends you a signal received by the mobile application, which immediately displays content related to the place or object where you are currently located. You can read its description, see photos and watch video footage. You will learn that there are beacons in a given facility from the information board at the entrance. In Małopolska, 1,000 beacon devices were installed in as many as 181 facilities! All of them work with the VisitMałopolska mobile application. Doesn’t it sound great?
