Join Heidelberg resident Erin McGann on a winding self-guided audio tour of the picturesque Altstadt, the old town of this fascinating German city on the banks of the Neckar River.
Take in the famous Church of the Holy Ghost in the center of the main market square, discover the carvings that allowed residents to check the legal size of their pretzels (really!), hear stories of the catastrophic floods, find out which buildings are the oldest, hear how the university students got so rowdy they ended up with their own prison, and learn about the romantic history of our ruined castle.
The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

Altstadt (Old Town)
Enjoy the flexibility of a GPS-enabled audio tour of Heidelberg’s Altstadt whenever you’re ready to take it. Erin McGann, history geek, writer, and Heidelberg resident, takes you on a walk through the winding streets of the picturesque Old Town. Erin lets you in on some local secrets including stories about the dramatic floods that plagued the residents for hundreds of years, the secrets of the German street names, what the pretzel carvings on the Church of the Holy Ghost mean, why there is a student prison, and stories about the residents of the famous castle. Download the tour, pop your phone in your pocket, and let this enthusiastic Heidelberger resident take you around the town she loves.
Market Square (Marktplatz)
The center of the Altstadt, the Marktplatz, or Market Square, is where you can sit outside in the summer and enjoy a coffee, or a Glühwein in December at our gorgeous Christmas Market. There’s a lot of history in this square, and we’ll do a full circle on the audio tour.

5.00While I do enjoy a guide-led tour and that is my first choice, if time is no object. For Heidelberg we simply needed a guided tour so that we could understand some of the history and the historical buildings. We took a chance on the self guided tour and I would SO do it again if I didn’t have time for a full tour. Technically the tour was great - kept up with us while walking and, since we used our own earbuds, very easy to hear. A fab experience!
Wunderbar!

5.00We appreciated the recording stopping at the sights and directing us to where to go next! The information shared was meaningful.

1.00Monotone uneventful very basic city tour. We found it dull and looked up way more about the city sites when we got home. Save the money and read the info online.
Great option for self guided tour

4.00This is a great option if you have a couple of hours and want an overview of highlights of Heidelberg. Very easy to use and the app lets you know if you’ve wandered off course (which is easy to do as you get taken in by the sights). You can pause along the way to take in a bit more of the points and restart at your convenience. Highly recommend you break to go in to the Studenten Karzer and the museum. Note: this tour starts and Marktplatz!
Great little audio walking tour!

5.00Really enjoyable audio walking tour. Very easy to follow, didn't need to use map on phone once! Some great information and not too much detail which some tours give. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it for anyone wanting a short informative walk round the old town. Thanks Erin!
Easy to follow

4.00Very easy to understand and follow. I would have liked more information about the streets, castle and monuments and a GPS guide back to the starting point.
Not worth the money

1.00Very disappointed we abandoned using it because we couldn't start it from wherever you want it was limited to starting in the same place it needs to be flexible as the traffic through the castle is erratic. In addition too too much time to download. Basically a waste of money.
See it in the evening.

5.00We took a 5:30 pm tour. Not as crowded. Not as hot. Our guide was great. It is a big climb up - so be prepared.
