Spotted by Locals (see Wikipedia page) is the blog that won Travel Blog Award (2009, Lonely Planet) or "Best Travel Website" Award (2010, Guardian). Why is this blog so specific? It provides information on approximately 38 cities in Europe. This information should not come from the visitors, but directly from the people who live, study or work in these cities. I tried find some post about Rome and Prague. The web page got back some recommendations to the cafes, restaurants, bars and so on. I wonder how much is the real recommendations and how much goes to PR articles written to order. The only way how to find out it is to have personal experience.
Further, the site offers an iPhone application and the possibility of buying city guides in PDF format. Prices are € 3.99.
