Europe
audio walks and visits in the main regions and cities of Europe
In each of these European towns, we introduce you to the most characteristic of its sites and monuments as well as trying to capture the spirit of the place through our audio-walks. These MP3 audio walks introduce you to well-known places, but also take you off the beaten track. A Medieval courtyard here, an old-fashioned brasserie, carpenter’s workshop or modern designer’s studio there; we discover hidden alleyways and charming gardens - all glimpses that will help you capture the flavour of the city.
You will also discover important or colourful characters whether they be monarchs, artists, heroes or sometimes just mythical figures. Their stories often help build up a picture of the history of the times. And of course, each time a place captures your imagination, do not hesitate to “press pause” and linger there. You can then take up your visit or audio walk where you left off.

City of memory
Prague is a city of memory and everywhere its buildings reflect a rich, eventful history – from Romanesque art introduced by the first Premyslid Kings, to the Baroque, testimony to the influence of the Habsburg rulers of Bohemia. Great poets and writers have lived here from Chateaubriand to Franz Kafka and Milan Kundera. The fabric of Prague is woven with history and legend while monuments and styles juxtapose dazzling the visitor with their beauty.
We recommend starting your visit with Prague Castle, the heart of the city and the Czech nation. We suggest that you then take our audioguided MP3 visits through Prague’s main areas: the Castle district, Mala Strana, the old Town, and the new Town.

Vienna : city of art and history
Discover Vienna thanks to our audio guides and go through the
city's history from the Middle Ages to the modern days. You will be
impressed by the sizes of the buildings located on the Ring, the 2 and a ½ mile long boulevard which surrounds Old Vienna : the parliament, a ministry or the Kunsthistorisches Museum (museum of Art History). Everything here recalls us the rise of the Hapsburgs.
Vienna is one of the main cultural cities in Europe where all arts played and still play a major role. We think of the waltz and the music with Mozart, Haydn, Schubert and Mahler, of literature with Stefan Zweig and Musil, of architecture with its beautiful and impressive baroque monuments and also of painting with Gustav Klimt. Thanks to our audio walks and visits, you will really feel the atmosphere of the old Vienna.

Split and Dubrovnik
"If you want to see heaven on earth, come to Dubrovnik" wrote
George Bernard Shaw. Known as the pearl of the Adriatic, it has been
chosen as a Unesco World Heritage Site and is one of the best-preserved
fortified mediaeval cities in the whole of the Mediterranean.
The Dalmatian coastline stands at the crossroads of the South-Eastern
Mediterranean and Northern Europe. The Ancient Romans established a
stronghold in the region and in the 3rd century A.D. the city of Salona
was to become the birthplace of one of the last great Emperors,
Diocletian. He abdicated following his ruthless persecution of the
Christians, returning to his homeland, where he built a vast, opulent palace, giving rise to the city of Split.
Discover, understand and appreciate the fascinating cities of Dubrovnik and Split with our walking tours and audio-guides.

Amsterdam is not an ancient town. You’ll find no Roman remains or traces of ancient conquerors any more than you’ll find any Romanesque churches. The town rose up from the sea both literally and figuratively during the Middle Ages, in the early 13th century. With these 2 audio guides, we will discover how a simple fishing village became one of the key European cities of the 17th century. We’ll stroll through picturesque streets and districts steeped in history.

Quien no ha visto Sevilla, no ha visto maravilla
Andalusia is the mirror of the Mediterranean civilizations whose fusion gave birth to Iberian culture. Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths, and finally - and most markedly – Muslims have all left their mark on the Andalusian peninsula. It was here that the greatest clash between Islam and Christianity took place. We invite you to decode the signs of these various encounters, in the vibrant and lively labyrinthian streets of Seville.
In the 17th century, Seville’s direct contact with Spain’s colonies in the Americas made it a thriving centre of intellectual and artistic activity with famous names such as Velázquez, Zurbarán and Murillo all working here. We invite you to see for yourself the truth of the saying: “Quien no ha visto Sevilla, no ha visto maravilla.” (He who has not seen Seville, has seen no marvels).

The Rome of the Alps
Salzburg was designed by the Prince Archbishops, who ruled the city until the 19th century. With a view to creating a smaller version of Rome, they erected a city that was a breathtaking example of religious Baroque. The city has undoubtedly got style: it is protected on three sides by wooded hills and the narrow lanes that flank the holy buildings, emerging into vast piazzas, make it a highly romantic spot. As we walk along, we'll naturally get an opportunity to talk about its most famous citizen, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Our audio visits and walks will introduce you to its main neighbourhoods and monuments.

Between east and west
Budapest delights the visitor with its variety. Having played the role of Christianity’s bastion against Islam, it has maintained an exotic atmosphere – the result of centuries of Turkish occupation. A crossroads of cultures, Budapest wraps itself around the Danube, which separates aristocratic Buda from industrious Pest. Despite its eventful history, it has maintained all its charm and sparkle. Its palaces, art galleries, and its art of living, demonstrate its desire to become the most Western of all Central European cities. Infatuated with Parisian fashions, it rivals Prague and Vienna for the exuberance of its Art Nouveau architecture, and it dazzles by the luxury of its marvellous cafes. Budapest is a bridge between East and West.
3 more audioguided MP3 visits will be available later this Automn:
Two dedicated to Pest, and one reserved for the beautiful collections of the Museum of Fine Arts.

A window to the West
At the beginning of the 18th century and at the cost of much human toil, Saint Petersburg rose up from the Neva delta. The city became know as the window to the West so fulfilling the dream of Peter the 1st, the greatest of all tsars. Inspired by Versailles, Saint Petersburg boasts a harmoniously proportioned architecture. The various styles are a reflection of the tsars who commissioned these buildings and include of course Peter the 1st as well as Catherine the Philosopher, Paul the 1st and Alexander the Diplomat.
Our audio guides will introduce you to the principal monuments of the city such as the Peter and Paul Fortress as well as the main districts such as Arts square, Vasilievsky Island and Nevsky Prospekt.
