TripAdvisor and Google Play Music team up

Google Play Music TripAdvisorTripAdvisor has teamed up with Google Play Music to provide travellers with two months of free access to curated playlists tailored specifically for popular travel destinations across the globe.

The new feature aims to transport travellers to their destination of choice via locally-themed playlists. Whether in the travel planning phase or on the trip, users will be able to take “getting into vacation mode” to a whole new level with access to these curated playlists. Travellers can listen to Cafe Italiano while sipping an espresso in Rome, rave to the Underground Club Sounds of Berlin, or dance to Sao Paulo Funk… the app will provide access to a fun and exciting array of well-known and hidden-gem soundtracks for popular cities.

Users will also get unlimited access to the more than 35 million songs in the Google Play Music catalogue, personalised recommendations, and the ability to listen to music offline.

Whether it is a journey to Rio to soak up the Olympic atmosphere, a family road-trip to the South of France, or an Ibiza adventure to soak up the summer party season – TripAdvisor and Google Play Music have the ultimate holiday soundtracks sorted.
