Pick a walk, start any stop with one tap. No signup, no ticket queue, no guide waiting at a meeting point.

Walk & listen

The map shows where you are and which stop is next. Stop for coffee, take the long way round — the tour waits for you.

Works offline

Download once on hotel wifi. Audio, transcript and map run fully offline afterwards, with no signal.

Off the ship, into the city

Four hours in port is plenty.

When to go

Good in dark season and in midnight sun.

The routes are mostly flat and central, so they hold up year round. Each walk tells you what changes with the season — where it gets icy, what closes in winter, and which stops are best at 1am in June.
