Facebook’s 'City Guides' to help you plan your next holiday

Facebook is always on the go. The social networking titan is always improving and adding new features to make its platform more user friendly.

In a similar move, Facebook is rolling out a new feature, "City Guides," that provides users with recommendations for places to go to and things to do while visiting a city to help them plan their vacation itinerary.

With this new feature, users no longer have to exit the Facebook app to launch other title like Yelp, for example, when say searching for a restaurant. City Guides taps into the recently launched Recommendations feature, where friends can suggest places and outlets they have been to and enjoyed.

The feature is located in Explore section and stores a list of cities visited by your friends recently. After tapping on a city, the app provides a list of friends who have been to the location along with the places they checked into while they were there.

Also, there is a "Places The Locals Go" section that lists popular spots based on each location's Facebook page rating. There's more. The feature can also help you plan you trip around an upcoming event in the city. And, you can also hook up with people you may know that are visiting the same event.

Users will be able to jump into City Guides directly from the home screen as well, thanks to a redirection prompt placed under city check-in posts of their friends and family.

The feature is currently available only for a small group of iOS users.
