Why we created CityScrolls?

Because we wished every hotel room came with a CityScrolls poster and guide: it would have made our trips richer and saved us hours of research.

CityScrolls helps travelers make the most of their destinations and gives hosts a complete kit to make exploring the city easier, more enjoyable, and truly memorable for their guests.

Meet the team

Hi, I'm Adrian! I'm a software engineer, but above all a traveler and explorer.

Traveling to new places is my ultimate hobby. It often starts virtually: I can easily lose hours studying maps, aerial images, and travel guides in search of exciting things to see and experience with my family or friends. Once we arrive, another side of me takes over and I become the guide.

Bringing this project to life meant wearing many hats: photographer, content writer, copywriter, website designer, and even handling sales, marketing, and social media content.

I was fortunate to collaborate with talented people whenever I reached the limits of my own skills. For example, many of the illustrations, branding, and overall visual design are the work of my talented sister — you can check out her impressive portfolio at Ana Gaman Illustration.

Why Venice?

I first entered Venice in 2013 when I was on my way to Milan. Honestly I didn't understand what the fuss was all about. It was super crowded and I didn't know anything about the city, so I left after a couple of hours, dissapointed.

But when I returned one year later with my wife, I had done my research, and this time we explored several wonderful places and endlessly wandered through the city.

With each subsequent visit, I discovered more and more amazing spots and inevitably and irrevocably fell in love with Venice.
