Secret Spots Only Locals know: The Hidden Gemz

What are the Hidden Gemz? Let’s start with what they’re not: They’re not your massive, big things-to-do guidebook.

You don’t need us to tell you the obvious tourist places to visit. But you know what we all need and love? A local friend. The kind of friend who shows you those hidden spots only locals know—the tucked-away places most travelers miss.

That’s what the Hidden Gemz are. It’s our way of trying to capture those unplanned moments you can’t find in a guidebook and put them into a little Hidden Gemz guide.

How to Get Access?

1. Sign Up on Hostelz.com and create your free account.
