I spent 3 years travelling Europe on a shoestring and got tired of Google lying to me about "budget" travel — so I built this

"Budget hotel in Prague" on Google: €80/night Actual budget hotel in Prague: €10/night "Cheap restaurants in Barcelona" on TripAdvisor: €25 mains with a free bread basket What locals actually eat: €2 wine + pintxos at a bodega with no English menu I got fed up.

So I built JARVIS — an AI that knows what budget actually means. You type: "I have €400 for 5 days, where should I go?" It gives you: specific hostel names, exact prices, the restaurant with no English menu that locals queue for, and the free viewpoint with better views than the €15 tourist one. 

Some things it knows that no guidebook will tell you: → The free park built on Berlin's old airport runway where locals BBQ on summer evenings→ The Prague pub where beer is €1.20 and nothing has changed since 1975 → The Lisbon neighbourhood where the original fado was born that zero tourists visit → The Budapest thermal bath where actual Hungarians go instead of the tourist one 

No sponsored results. No affiliate hotel rankings. No "hidden gem" that's been on every travel blog since 2015.

jarvis-travel-nine.vercel.app — completely free, tell it your budget and destroy it. 

Would genuinely love brutal feedback from people who actually travel cheap.
