Lonely Planet is offering 13 of its European iPhone guides free, as a response to the chaos caused by the eruption of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull volcano.
For a short time, the popular travel guide is offering 13 of its city guides for free in the App Store.
Typically priced at £9.49 in the App Store, Lonely Planet’s temporarily free guides aim to offer at least a little solace to stranded travelers.
“Travelers stuck in unfamiliar places need access to practical information as well as suggestions on what to do while stranded,” said Tom Hall, Lonely Planet Travel Editor, in a press release.
The free guide cities are: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Budapest, Copenhagen, Istanbul, London, Moscow, Munich, Paris, Rome, Stockholm, and Vienna.
The guides are free only until 22 April, though, so get out your App Stores and get to downloading.
