Spotted by Locals is a publisher of a series of travel guides (apps & blogs) with up-to-date tips curated by handpicked locals in 80+ cities in Europe, The Middle East and North America.
The city guides are curated by "Spotters" - people who live in the city they write about and speak the local language. All Spotters have been carefully selected and personally met by the team.
Locals provide recommendations on where to eat, shop, and be entertained. Their city guide is designed for travellers wanting to experience cities like a local.
Spotted by Locals has created content for publications such as The Guardian Sueddeutsche Zeitung, The Independent, De Volkskrant, Kathimerini and commercial content licensing partners like Volkswagen.
Every two years, Spotted by Locals organizes a weekend for its bloggers.
