A self guided audio tour of Frankfurt.
Frankfurt surprises you. The skyline announces a city of business and banks, but step away from the towers and you find cobbled lanes, the smell of apple wine drifting out of old taverns, and the broad curve of the Main river pulling everything into a calmer pace. The old town around the Römerberg feels like a small miracle next to all that glass and steel.
In the app, 47 stops in Frankfurt are narrated aloud, about 1h 20m of listening across 6 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.
