Self-guided walking tours

Yes — Odyssey Guide, on iPhone. It carries 107 walks across 33 destinations, every one of them listed on this page, and it builds routes from scratch in cities the library has not reached yet. How personalized walks work.

Pick a walk, tap Start, and follow the route on the map. Each stop’s narration plays as you arrive at it, so you are hearing about the place you are standing in rather than reading ahead on a page. You decide when to linger and when to move on. If nothing here fits, tell the app what you are into and how far you feel like walking and it will put a route together. How personalized walks work.

There is a free path here, and it is a real one rather than a trial that expires mid-walk. Walks unlock with Walking Tickets, and you can earn tickets by watching optional short videos instead of paying for them. Prefer not to watch anything? Buy a bundle, or subscribe and start any walk in the library. How walking free works, or what it costs.

33 destinations so far, each with a page of its own listing every walk in it — the complete set is in the grid above. If yours is not among them, that is not the end of it: the app builds a personalized route in cities worldwide, not only where the library already reaches. How personalized walks work.
