A self guided audio tour of Hamburg.
Hamburg is a port city that faces inward as much as outward, its canals and lakes giving every neighbourhood a different character. The warehouse district and the waterfront carry the weight of centuries of trade, while a few streets away the city turns leafy and residential, unhurried and familiar. It is a place that opens up gradually, best understood by walking its water's edges at your own pace.
In the app, 74 stops in Hamburg are narrated aloud, about 2h 6m 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.
The opening lines of a few narrations, straight from the tour.
"You are standing in a spot where you can feel the weight of centuries."
"The 132-metre spire dominating the skyline has always served as a guide for ships sailing up."
"You are standing past a location with a difficult history."
"This place is one of the biggest art museums in Germany, and it tells a story about how art."
"The whole story really starts back in 1863 when Carl Hagenbeck Sr."
"When you look at this building, you might not realize the complexity of the history it holds."

A generous west-to-east sweep starting at Hagenbeck's famous zoo and winding through Luna Park, two great theatres and the storied streets of Eimsbüttel.
A peaceful northern circuit through Europe's largest park cemetery, two historic parish churches and the Barmbek freight-wagon memorial to the city's industrial heritage.
