Featured walk

Gdańsk Gates, Churches and Civic Landmarks

Walk through Gdańsk’s historic centre to see a ceremonial market street, decorated gates, civic buildings, churches, and the city’s riverside crane. Along the way, notice the contrast between richly ornamented façades, brick ecclesiastical interiors, defensive entrances, and the industrial character of the former power plant. This walk is worthwhile for the way its stops bring together public ceremony, religious life, trade, transport, and music in a compact route.14 stopsSee the walk

How a walk works

The guide starts talking when you arrive.

The pages here tell you where the walks go. The app takes you round them.

  1. Pick a walk

    Every stop is a real place, already in walking order.

  2. Pocket your phone

    Follow the line on the live map, or download the walk before you lose signal.

  3. Listen as you arrive

    On a narrated walk the story starts on its own at each stop, so your eyes stay on the place.

Free to install · Every city’s featured walk is free, start to finish.

  • The route, followed

    A live map with the turns called out, and a way back whenever you wander off it.

  • In four languages

    English, French, Spanish and Arabic — the words and the voice, not just the labels.

  • Or build your own

    Pick the places you actually want and the app works out the order to walk them in.

  • The unglamorous things

    Toilets, pharmacies, cash points and water, without leaving the walk.

  • No signal needed

    Download a walk before you go and it works under a souk roof or on a plane.

  • Picks up where you left off

    Stop for lunch, come back tomorrow, and the walk is exactly where you left it.
