This interactive self-guided walk through Maastricht turns the city into an adventure. Your phone will act as your guide: you will solve riddles to unlock directions rather than follow a map or GPS. Start whenever you like, pause for a coffee or a browse, then resume at your own pace.
Along the route you will visit striking and historic sites. You will enter the Dominicanen — a stunning bookstore set inside a 700-year-old Gothic church. You will stand where the real-life d’Artagnan (of The Three Musketeers) fell in battle and walk over the remains of ancient Roman baths. You will find the exact spot where Karl Marx stayed and see the Bisschopsmolen, a working watermill said to date from the 7th century.

Explore Aachen at your own pace with a self-guided walking tour that uses audio and text on your phone in seven languages.

Along the way, the narration keeps a dry, slightly defiant tone, offering context and anecdotes that bring Aachen’s streets and stones to life. You’ll explore at your own speed, using audio or text, and can start whenever suits you.
