What to expect
This is a solo wandering experience rather than a group tour. You'll download the app beforehand, then start whenever suits you. The GPS guides you street-to-street; pause, backtrack, or skip ahead as you choose. Each stop offers audio context—architectural details, historical anecdotes, or local gossip. You'll pass working shops and public squares, so expect foot traffic and real life happening around you. The route finishes on the main seafront promenade. Altogether, expect between 60 and 90 minutes of listening and walking, depending on how much you dawdle.
Good to know
Bring your own phone and headphones. The tour works offline once downloaded, useful for avoiding data charges abroad. Comfortable shoes matter; the old town has cobblestones. No paid attractions are included, so you won't need entry fees unless you choose to visit somewhere independently.
