Booking your own travel has never been easier than it is today.

While 10 years ago you would know your local travel agent by name, today you can research, compare prices, and book everything from flights, to cruises, and hotels, all super easily without needing any help.

Though there are now so many websites and resources, that people are turning back to their local travel agent, because there’s just too much information to sort through.

I mean, when booking hotels, do you book through Booking.com? What about Expedia? Hotels.com? Agoda? Priceline? Tripadvisor? Orbitz? And what about flights? Car rentals? Cruise sites?

You would be forgiven for breaking out in hives!

But don’t freak out just yet, because I’m about to tell you about one more site. Travelsites.com is a travelers dream; a free database that lists all of the best travel websites, arranges them by category, and ranks them so that you can easily find everything you need.

I have the site bookmarked as the place to find the best travel-related resources online. You should too! Either jump over to Travelsites.com right now (because it’s pretty self explanatory), or read on for an in depth review.

Travelsites.com – How to Find the Best Travel Sites for Your Holiday!

The Importance of Research for Travel

First things first – why do you need to do your research before you travel?

Simple. These far off destinations might look like beautiful paradises in pictures, but it’s important to keep in mind that in the era of social media, any old picture can be filtered, edited, and composed to look better than the actual image it represents.

Being careful with your research will bring to light destinations that might be too good to be true, saving you the vacation horror and wasted cash. Knowing about the destination and culture you’re visiting in advance is also a matter of safety.

On top of that, doing your research can help you discover hotels, restaurants, and attractions that might not be as popular as others, but offer great experiences for a far lesser cost. Nothing saves you more money when traveling than research does.

Research is one of those things that you either nerd out on, or absolutely hate, but either way, having a complete travel resource like Travelsites.com makes the job a lot easier on you.

Having a one-stop shop for every travel website you’ll ever need is a simple way to find all the options available to you, and the rankings make it easy to figure out which sites are the most reliable, and most frequently used.

Finding Cheap Hotels / Accommodation

Accommodation is one of the first things people book when they travel, and one of the best things about Travelsites.com is that they offer a huge range of lists that can guide you to affordable hotel and accommodation sites.

Their list of Hotel Booking Sites gives you access to a complete lists of booking services for international hotels. You’ll find all of the top sites, plus some you may not have heard of, all ranked based on factors like user interface, filter options, price match guarantee, secret hotel offers.

You can either click straight through to the booking site you want, or click through to more information; for every site listed, David (creator of the site) has done an in depth review with the pros and cons of using each platform. It’s very unbiased, which is great for quickly handpicking the right website for you.

Accommodation options these days though go way beyond hotels though, so Travelsites.com also has lists for sites that cover short term rentals, hostels, camping sites, and luxury accommodation.

Travel Resources for Getting Around

Regardless of whether you’re traveling for the first time, or have years worth of experience, you’re probably going to get lost in new destination. Getting lost is often half the fun of travel, though it can throw a spanner in a carefully planned day.

All of the resources you need to familiarize yourself with your destination way before you land are listed there on Travelsites.com. They have lists for train sites, buses, and other really great resources that can help you understand the public commute system in the destination you’re visiting.

They also have a Navigation list where you can find tools and resources for getting around without having to ask for directions from strangers. Though if you do want to ask for directions, they also have lists of the best translations sites and language apps.

They seriously have every resource you’ll ever need.

If all else fails, check out their list of Ridesharing Sites where you can find the best ride hailing services across the globe, so you can just use an app and hail a ride from your location and cut out the tricky commute process.

Budgeting and Planning Resources

Budgeting and planning – possibly the two things about travel that most people hate!

There are plenty of budgeting and planning resources out there that help you plan a budget, keep track of your expenses as you’re spending, figure out costs for groups, but once again, there are so … many … of … them.

Coming to the rescue again, Travelsites.com has a bunch of lists that feature websites that help you budget for your trip. There’s a Travel Costs and Planning list, with websites and apps for budgeting, and a Travel Finance list with resources like currency conversion sites, money transfers etc.

Once again, you can either click through to a site directly from the list, or you can click in to read about what each site does, what it offers you, and the pros and cons of each.

Connect With Seasoned Travelers

There are a million and one travel blogs out there, and half of the time, they may not have been updated since 2008. So, if you want to find out what other, seasoned travelers have to say about your chosen destination or activity, Travelsites.com has lists for that, too.

Their selection of travel blogs and social media accounts is a great way to connect you with trusted travelers who have made a living off of their adventures. Learn from their experiences and get expert tips on where to go, what to do, and how to get the best out of the money you spend on your trip.

Aside from that, the Travelsites.com database also has a dedicated list for Reddits and Travel Forums where you can post your questions and get answers from people all over the globe. This way, you’ll never have to feel clueless when you wander through a brand-new location.

… And Everything in Between

This would be a ridiculously long article if I was to go through all of the categories of lists they have – the Travelsites.com database literally covers everything you might expect.

They have lists of the best sites for cheap flights, websites that let you work remotely, language and translation websites, and even photography apps that help you achieve that Instagram-worthy aesthetic for all the pictures you take.

For travelers who want to voyage with their pets, the Travel with Pets list gives you important information to help you discover pet-friendly services and tips that maximize fun for both you and Fido.

Basically, this is a one stop shop for finding the best travel websites and resources, no matter what you’re looking for.

When it comes to travel, being equipped with the right information from reliable resources is paramount to getting the best out of the experience from the moment you leave home to the minute you make it back.

So make sure you bookmark Travelsites.com.
