Behind The Insider

Local picks, not tourist traps

We’re not a travel agency, not a social platform — just a small team making it easier to find the places worth your time. No fluff. Just real picks from real people.

why the insider

Why we built The Insider

We were tired of landing in a new city and wasting time figuring out what’s actually worth visiting. So we created a simple platform that does the work for you — no fluff, no filler.

Local over loud

We spotlight places locals actually go to — not just the ones with big signs and bigger ad budgets.

Made to be useful

You get filters that make sense, tips that help, and honest info. No influencer hype, just what you need.

Built by explorers

We’re travelers, locals, and curious city lovers. We made this for people like us — and you.

Who it’s for

Made for people who want more than just a list

Whether you're planning your weekend, showing friends around, or just looking for a good meal in your own city — The Insider helps you skip the guesswork and get straight to the good stuff.

Who’s behind it

Built by explorers, locals, and curious minds

We're a small team spread across cities in Europe. Some of us can name ten coffee spots on one street. Others never visit the same place twice. Together, we built The Insider to help people explore with purpose.
