Berlin

A self-guided audio walking tour of Berlin.

Berlin carries its history out in the open. You drift from wide boulevards into hushed courtyards, past the line where a wall once divided the city and the long calm of the museum quarter. It is a place that gives more to a slow afternoon on foot than to any checklist, and every street seems to hold a different decade. In the app, 100 stops in Berlin are narrated aloud, about 2h 50m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
