More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off a tram and the cobbles take over — cool underfoot, worn smooth by centuries of boots and cart wheels. A voice in your ear (well, your phone) is Wilhelm, a 15th‑century merchant with a dry wit; he points you toward a narrow alley, a church spire, a hidden statue. The city breathes around you: gulls wheel over the harbour, church bells mark the hour, and the stone walls seem to nudge you along the mapped route.

Conservation

Keep your battery topped up

Old Town cobbles and steps can be uneven—supportive shoes reduce the risk of slips and sore feet.

Trams and buses stop near the Old Town; arrive by transit to avoid parking hassles and begin at the meeting point shown in the app.
Smartphone with GPS
