Journaes

Some cities hand you a map. Journaes hands you a story. Journaes is a free, self-guided audio walking tour app that turns the streets around you into living history. Whether you're a visitor exploring a new city or a local who's walked the same block a hundred times, Journaes gives you the stories hiding in plain sight. Just press play, start walking, and let a warm, knowledgeable guide lead the way, no bookings, no groups, no rigid schedules.

HOW IT WORKS

Choose a tour, slip in your earbuds, and go. Audio narration plays automatically as you approach each stop, so you never have to look down at your phone. Wander at your own pace, linger as long as you like, and experience the city the way locals know it through its stories.

EXPLORE WITH OTHERS

THE TOURS Every Journaes tour is crafted to feel like a conversation, not a lecture. Expect surprising facts, human stories, architectural details you'd never notice on your own, and the occasional tip on where to grab a coffee along the way. Tours cover historic districts, waterfronts, cultural corridors, and neighbourhoods with layers of story beneath the surface. FOR VISITORS Skip the rigid bus tour. Journaes fits around your day, start when you're ready, pause when you need a break, and finish at your own pace. No waiting for the group. No missing the part you actually cared about. FOR LOCALS Think you know your city? Journaes finds the stories you've walked past without knowing. From the building that shaped a movement to the square where history turned, it's all still there, waiting to be heard. Journaes. Stories around every corner.
