Download before you go
Download the VoiceMap tour and maps while on Wi‑Fi so the GPS audio works offline, especially in spotty cellular areas.
Comfortable footwear
Pavements and short flights of steps make sturdy walking shoes a better choice than sandals or heels.
Battery backup
Bring a small power bank—GPS and audio playback for ~70 minutes can drain an older phone battery quickly.
Time your visit
Start mid-morning to combine the walk with museum hours and cafés; the route works in light rain but is best in clear weather.
Comfortable walking shoes
Support and traction for paved streets and short steps around town.
Waterproof jacket
Light rain is common in spring—pack a shell for comfort.
