Some people won't plan a trip without combing through travel sites and The Naughty New Mom Is My First Love Teacher (2025)hitting up friends familiar with the area. If Facebook has its way, soon you'll be able to do both without ever leaving its app.
Facebook is testing out a new City Guides feature for select iOS and Android users. It's Facebook's answer to TripAdvisor, providing curated suggestions for local attractions, events, restaurants and more. To keep the experience properly social, it also shows you a list of friends who've visited the city and what they did when they were there.

“We're testing a redesigned surface on city Pages that showcases information about your city," a Facebook spokesperson told us via email. "This content already exists on Facebook, and during this test we'll be centralizing it in a way that is more personalized and relevant to you. So, this new feature can help people get a better sense of their city, or a city they're visiting through their friends' eyes.”
City Guides is Facebook's latest step in its mission to own pretty much every single aspect of modern life. Last month, it introduced enhanced weather forecasts with help from Weather.com and a feature to allow users to apply for jobs directly on the social network.
