Description

Hear the stories behind Austin’s most interesting and historic sites with Walk of the Town.

Choose from four different self-guided walking tours of the downtown Austin area including Sixth Street, the Capitol area, Congress Avenue, and the enclave of Victorian style homes known as the Bremond Block.

As you explore, our narrators will take you back in time with tales about Austin’s early inhabitants. In addition to details about the buildings themselves, you’ll hear about the figures, both big and small, who formed the backbone of this city.

You can choose to simply follow the audio directions without having to look at your phone, or get a deeper dive into each location with historic photos and additional stories within the app.

Your GPS will help guide you from stop to stop, with audio starting as you approach each location. Take your time to explore the sites and check out the historical plaques before progressing along to the next stop.

This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department.

mr. product specialist ,

Great app idea! Need more details on the tour though

App is cool! I want more! - but I wish I knew what was in each tour so I could plan better. I have to be at the start of the location to see the different spots on the tour

So immersive!

I love being able to walk this tour on my own time! It’s hard to get to know a new city, and this tour takes you all around the center of Austin. Most tours cost money and have a rigid schedule, making it harder to plan with multiple people. My family and I were able to start the tour, stop for lunch, and pick back up on the tour when we were ready. I also loved being able to see historic imagery on the spot. Wish more cities had something like this!!
