Potsdam Self Guided Audio Tour

Additional Information & Description

Potsdam Self Guided Audio Tour puts the city’s culture and history on your smartphone, with a walking experience you can shape around your own interests. Rather than following a fixed group schedule, you decide when to walk, when to listen and when to take a break.

Landmarks along the walk

Unity Square, Nauener Tor and the City Canal are among the landmarks you can approach as you explore Potsdam. These named sights give your walk concrete points of focus, while the wider tour introduces the city’s past and cultural character. The experience takes place on foot, bringing sightseeing into the streets rather than limiting it to a single attraction. Entry to buildings or attractions is not included, so the tour’s focus is exploring the city rather than admission to individual venues.

Choose your route through Potsdam

The app provides suggested walking routes and a navigation function to help you find your way between sights. You can select a route, pinpoint places that interest you and look for photo spots as you go. Those tools let you plan the next stretch of your walk instead of committing to one continuous itinerary. A stop for photographs or a longer pause can be part of the outing, with the route available when you are ready to continue.

Audio commentary in five languages

Your ticket includes access to the Potsdam tour in the Vox City app, with audio commentary in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. Listen for background on the tourist sights you encounter, using your preferred language to follow the stories behind the stops. The commentary accompanies your independent exploration; the smartphone app, rather than an in-person guide, delivers the tour.

Starting point and what to bring

Start at 1 Am Alten Markt in Potsdam. Tickets are delivered instantly and can be presented on a smartphone. Bring your own smartphone and headphones, as neither is included. Hotel pickup and drop-off are also excluded, so arrange your own travel to and from the starting area. Food and drinks are not part of the ticket.
