Touristic: Portugal Trips Is Now Available on Android

Touristic: Portugal Trips is now available on Android. The free trip planner, built for travellers exploring Portugal, can be downloaded from Google Play and brings the same day-by-day planning used on touristic.pt to a phone that travels with you. An iPhone version is in development, and iOS users can join the waitlist on the homepage.

What the Android app does

The app turns a few choices into a complete itinerary. Pick a destination, travel dates, the number of travellers, a budget and the kind of stay you prefer, and it builds a day-by-day plan you can follow or edit. Plans can be generated automatically or put together by hand, stop by stop.

Each trip appears on an interactive map and as a timeline. Per-day filters keep the view focused on today, completion tracking shows what is left, and cost totals give a running picture of the budget. When it is time to move, the app hands the route to the map app already installed on the phone, so navigation works the way you are used to.

Built for sharing and travelling together

Trips can be shared with a short code or a link, which makes it simple to plan with friends or family. Anyone with the code can open the same itinerary, and a shared link opens straight into the trip on touristic.pt or in the app.

For travellers who want a head start, community trip templates offer ready-made routes to adapt. The interface is available in English and European Portuguese, and a guest mode lets you look around before creating an account.

Why a planning app matters for a trip to Portugal

Most visits still revolve around a handful of famous names. A planner that shows how a second region, an inland town or an extra night fits into the trip makes it easier to go further. That is the idea behind both the website and the app: help travellers stay longer, discover more of the country and enjoy each stop at a comfortable pace.

The app pairs naturally with our guides. Read about the schist villages of the Centro region, the Rota Vicentina coastal trail or the Douro Valley vineyards, then add them to your route. For the bigger picture, see why Portugal's tourism needs more value and new ideas, and how Portugal was named Europe's Leading Destination.

Tips for using the app on the road

A little preparation makes the app more useful once you are travelling. Build and save your itinerary before you leave home, while you have time to compare options and adjust the budget. Share the trip code with everyone in your group so each person can follow the plan on their own phone.

Keep each day realistic. Leave space between fixed bookings, especially on days with long drives or train journeys, and use the timeline to check how much is planned before adding another stop. If the weather changes, swap a coastal walk for a museum or a market and update the plan in a few taps.

Mark stops as complete as you go. The completion view is a quick way to see what is still ahead, and the cost totals help you notice early if spending is running ahead of plan. Before a day on the move, open the route in your usual map app so the directions are ready when you need them.

Privacy and accounts

Accounts are created inside the app with an email address and a password or a magic link. There is no social login. The app asks for consent before showing personalised advertising, in line with European privacy rules, and you can change that choice later. Account deletion is available from within the app.

How to get it

On Android, open Touristic: Portugal Trips on Google Play and tap Install. The app is free.

On iPhone, the app is not available yet. Join the iOS waitlist on the touristic.pt homepage to hear as soon as it launches. In the meantime, the Touristic trip planner works in any browser.

What comes next

The Android release is the first step. The iPhone version will follow, and the planner, guides and community templates will keep growing with new destinations and seasonal ideas. Feedback from early users will shape what is added first, so ratings and reviews on Google Play are welcome.
