In the Netherlands but also outside our borders
Walk the City offers tours all over the Netherlands: from Groningen to Middelburg, from Den Helder to Maastricht. With the app, you can take lots of day trips or weekend getaways. Do you find that cities or places are missing? Walk the City cordially invites you to think along! The Netherlands has beautiful cities within a short distance of each other. Big or small cities, old or new: with the app you can make the most of them. But the app goes beyond our own borders! Visit the beautiful Belgian cities of Antwerp, Ghent and Leuven, and don’t forget lesser-known Mechelen. The app guides you around there and takes you on an exploration. There are also already city walks through Nice and through Berlin. The perfect addition to your city trip!
Get to know a city with a themed walk
In addition to regular city walks, where you discover a city’s main attractions, Walk the City also offers themed city walks. Cities often have their own unique story that is even better told in a themed walk. The great thing about such a walking tour is that one subject is the focus, linking all the stories together. Whether a city is ancient or modern, there is always more to discover than you think. This is why city trips are so fascinating and interesting: you get to places you wouldn′t otherwise have been and learn about buildings and monuments that you would otherwise only look at fleetingly. Walk the City’s smartphone app takes you to special attractions and tells you the fun anecdotes and impressive history that make a city walk unforgettable.
It all started in Rotterdam
Walk the City once started in Rotterdam. Now that is typically a city of which many Dutch people have trouble quickly listing the highlights. The smartphone tours that Walk the City has developed for Rotterdam always highlight different sides of the city on the Maas. Of course there is a tour of the most important historical and modern sights, but we have also highlighted the cultural life of this vibrant city. The app takes you on a journey of discovery through our own hometown. We haven’t let go of this idea of taking you into our hometown since then. Our other city tours are often created in collaboration with people who live in, have lived in, or know the city well. And who better to show you around than a real local?
Discover hidden treasures
So during your city walk with Walk the City’s app, you won’t just see the well-known sights that you could also find on Wikipedia or ChatGPT. Instead, Walk the City will show you the small and hidden treasures that are part of the daily life of the city you are visiting. Downloading our city walks app is easy and free, available in both Google Play and the App Store. In the app, you can then download the walks. Once downloaded, you can follow the walks offline, i.e. without an Internet connection and without GPS, using photos that point you in the right direction. You always have your tour at hand and can continue hiking at your convenience.
