How these walks are made

Most self-guided tours are a list of sights and a map. You find out what the streets between them are really like only when you are standing there. Each walk here starts from the other end: we pick a real, unbroken 4K walking video filmed in the city, follow the path the camera took, and write the stops around it. Every stop opens the video at the second the camera reaches it.

That means you can judge the route before you commit an afternoon to it: how busy the lanes are, how steep the hill is, whether the riverside stretch is worth the detour. The routes run 2 to 4 hours including time at the stops, begin and end near public transport, and stay inside one walkable part of the city. Planning more than one day? Pair a walk with our day-by-day trip plans.

Good to know

What is a self-guided walking tour?

It is a planned route you walk on your own, without a guide or a group. You get the stops in order, what to see at each one and how far the next one is, and you set the pace yourself.

Are these walking tours free?

Yes. Every route, map, stop list and video on this page is free to use, and there is nothing to book or download.

Do I need an app or mobile data?

No app. Each tour has a printable stop list and a link that opens the walking route in Google Maps. If you will be offline, print the list or save the map before you leave your hotel.

How is this different from other self-guided tours?

Each route follows a real 4K walking video filmed on those streets, and every stop opens the video at the moment the camera arrives there. You can check the distances, the crowds and the atmosphere before you decide to walk it.

Can I do the walk from home?

Yes. Press play on any tour and use the Next button to move from stop to stop. Many people use the routes to revisit a city they love or to explore one they cannot travel to.
