A personally narrated walking tour of Graz: Ten main stops and twelve detailed walking chapters connect the Main Square, Herrengasse, Landhaushof, and Franciscan Monastery with the Mur, Kunsthaus, Murinsel, Schloßberg, and Stadtkrone. Around 93 minutes through a city that connects power, everyday life, and new ideas behind facades, in courtyards, and on surprisingly short paths. You start when you want and go at your own pace – the audio tour runs directly in your smartphone's browser, completely without an app download. GPS points automatically start the stories exactly where you are standing.
