In Your Pocket is the brainchild of German Matthias Lufkens and Belgian brothers George, Oliver and Nicolas Ortiz, who, over several beers in the Stikliai beer hall in Vilnius, Lithuania, a town that at the time had no telephone directory, came up with the idea of Vilnius In Your Pocket during a long December evening in 1991. The four set out to conquer the world armed only with a dream and a laptop: they still have the dream, and they still have the laptop.

In Your Pocket is now Central and Eastern Europe's leading provider of urban information, supplying locally produced, practical information for over fifty cities all over the region, available at the travel portal www.inyourpocket.com and in more than 50 publication guide books, published in 23 countries.
