About this walk

Bamberg was built on a quarrel. Prince-bishops ruled from the hill, burghers traded on the island below, and the town hall ended up in the middle of the river between them. This self-guided walking tour follows that old divide from the river crossings to the cathedral hill, through the essential sights of Bamberg. Everything runs from your phone. You get a clear map of all 8 stops, simple directions through Google Maps, and a short audio story with an interactive quiz at each location. The route runs from the Altes Rathaus to the view from the Michaelsberg, passing the Schlenkerla smoked-beer tavern, Bamberg Cathedral, the Alte Hofhaltung and the Neue Residenz. Start anytime, pause whenever you like, and explore freely. No groups, no schedules. Audio and text available in 7 languages. And it comes with a free eSIM, redeemable once per account, so your map, directions and audio work from the moment you arrive, with no roaming charges.

  • Fabulous walking tour around the main areas of Dubrovnik old city.we were able to stop and listen as many times as we needed as there was also written information too

  • A great way to discover the hidden gems in Sorrento. It provides history, cultural context and a flavour of the place. We would have missed so much had we wandered round without this valuable guide. Thank you for the research and information.
