Begin at the Botero Museum to look closely at Fernando Botero’s distinctive rounded forms, then continue to Bogotá Museum - Casa Sámano and Museo Colonial for contrasting views of local history and colonial-era collections. At the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art MAMBO, shift your attention to modern and contemporary art before entering the Planetario de Bogotá for an encounter with astronomy and space. Finish at the Museo Nacional de Colombia, where art, history, and cultural heritage bring the museum-focused walk to a broad close.

How a walk works

The guide starts talking when you arrive.

This page is the map and the itinerary. The app is the guide who walks it with you.

  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.

  • A guide who talks

    Narration at every stop, starting on its own as you arrive — phone in your pocket.

  • 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.
