How do I access the audio guide?

You download the MP3 audio files and accompanying map (typically sent by email or via a link). Load them onto your smartphone, tablet, or portable audio player before your tour.

Can I do the tour at any time?

Yes, it's completely self-guided. Start whenever you like, pause for breaks, and explore at your own pace — there are no fixed start times or schedules.

Is the 2-hour duration fixed?

No — it's an estimated guideline. You can complete it faster or take longer depending on how much time you spend at each location or in cafés.

What if I lose internet connection during the tour?

The audio files and map are downloaded to your device, so they work entirely offline. No internet connection is required once you've downloaded them.

Is the route wheelchair accessible?

Most of the city centre walking route uses paved, flat streets. However, some areas in the Old Town may have uneven surfaces. Check with the supplier for detailed accessibility information if needed.

What's included in the price?

The EUR 18 price includes the downloadable audio guide narration and a detailed map. No physical materials or additional services are included.
