Discover a new city while walking!

Walk the City has developed a super handy app that allows anyone to take a fun city walk or walk in nature. During your walk, you will learn all kinds of things about the city or area of your choice complete with fun facts and anecdotes. Very different are the city walks from The Little Walk of Horrors! With these walks you will discover the dark side of the city. Unlike Walk the City, the city walks of The Little Walk of Horrors are actually 100% offline: you receive a handy booklet with clear pictures and information about the bloody history of a particular place along with separate clear directions. After a Horror Walk, you’ll know all about the city’s dark history and which buildings are haunted!
