Travel according to mood

Assembled by local experts, each city guide features more than 200 unique tips, all matched to the app’s six distinct moods – Romantic, Social, Family, Local, Cultural and Fancy.

“Color-coding each mood makes it easy for users to find things to do and see that match their travel style,” explained Pia Vemmelund, Managing Director for momondo. “If you’re traveling to New York with your kids, you can choose Family green and see child-friendly ideas, from the Brooklyn Children’s Museum to the Economy Candy store, or choose Culture blue for galleries, theater, architecture and more – from the Strand bookstore to Lincoln Center.”

The places in each city are sorted like a deck of cards that can be expanded into an accordion view designed for fun, playful navigation.
