Skip the tour bus. Explore New York at your own pace, with local stories, the best pizza stops and a map that works offline. Start with 4 free walks, on us!
Walk New York like you live here.
PaveTrail has more than 20 self-guided walking tours through Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, with hundreds of stops and a story on every corner. Find out why the stars on Grand Central’s ceiling are painted backwards, where the first Oreo was baked and which firehouse the Ghostbusters called home. No group to keep up with and no schedule: start when you like and stop for a slice whenever you want.
WORKS WITHOUT INTERNET
Every walk, photo and story is stored on your phone, and so is the map of New York. No roaming, no data plan, no searching for wifi.
GPS THAT WALKS WITH YOU
Turn on your location and PaveTrail shows the way to the next stop and tells you when you've arrived. Want to keep your eyes on the city? Tap Listen and a narrator tells you each story.
FROM CENTRAL PARK TO CONEY ISLAND
Chelsea and the High Line, SoHo, Tribeca, the Villages, Harlem, DUMBO, Williamsburg, Bushwick, Red Hook, Governors Island, Roosevelt Island, Hunters Point and more. Every walk fits in an afternoon.
THE WHOLE CITY ON ONE MAP
The explore map shows every walk, the top sights, the best pizza, the subway and the ferry, all offline.
START FOR FREE
4 walks are completely free: Central Park, DUMBO, the Financial District and Williamsburg. Every other walk lets you try the first 3 stops before you buy.
NO SUBSCRIPTION
Buy only the walks you want for $2.99 each and keep them forever. Or get the All-Access Pass for every walk: each walk you already own takes $3 off its price.
The ferry on the map, and made for iPhone Duo.
• A new Ferry button on the map shows every NYC Ferry route in its own color, and the landings
• Walks that start near the water, like Red Hook and Governors Island, show the closest ferry landing
• Open your Duo and a walk shows the map and the story side by side
• The walks appear as photo cards, and the explore map opens a walk's card beside the map
• Folded, PaveTrail uses the whole screen and keeps clear of the clock
