Potsdam Self Guided Audio Tour

About this experience

Book the Potsdam self-guided audio tour and discover the capital of Brandenburg, just outside Berlin, on a walking tour run from your smartphone. Starting at Am Alten Markt in the heart of the city, the app guides you to landmarks such as Unity Square, the Nauener Tor and the City Canal, with audio commentary in five languages and no group or fixed schedule to follow. What the Potsdam audio tour covers Immerse yourself in the culture and history of Potsdam as you walk between its iconic landmarks. The tour starts at Am Alten Markt, the old market square at the centre of the city, then leads you towards Unity Square, the historic Nauener Tor city gate and the City Canal. Tune into the audio commentary to hear about each sight as you reach it, or take a break whenever you like. There are plenty of suggested walking routes to choose from, so you can build the day around the parts of the city that interest you most. How the Potsdam self-guided audio tour works After booking, you receive instructions to activate the audio tour. Scan the QR code in your confirmation with your phone and the app store opens, downloads the app and logs you in. If you cannot scan a QR code, tap the link below it: on a phone it installs the app and signs you in, and on a computer it shows your login details and download steps. Download the tour over WiFi before you set out, so you are ready to go when you reach the start. The starting point is 1 Am Alten Markt, Potsdam. There is no live guide; open the app when you arrive and use its navigation to move from one sight to the next. Commentary is available in German, English, French, Italian and Spanish. Plan your own Potsdam walk This tour is all about suiting your own schedule. Use the app to plan your next walking route, pinpoint your favourite sights and find the best photo spots as you go. It is a good choice for independent travellers, couples and families on a day trip from Berlin who want context without booking a guided group, and for visitors staying in Potsdam who would rather explore a little at a time. Pause the commentary for a coffee or a museum visit and pick up again when you are ready. Wear comfortable shoes and check the weather before you set out. What to bring and what is not included Bring a charged smartphone and your own headphones, as neither is supplied. Entry tickets, hotel pickup and drop-off, and food and drinks are not included. To go further, consider a walking tour of the historic old town and Sanssouci, a Potsdam castles tour or a hop-on hop-off bus to reach sights further out.
