Did you know that the Dohány Street Synagogue is the largest synagogue in Europe? Do you know where to have brunch in a boat restaurant next the Chain Bridge or how to find the famous ruin pubs in the inner districts? Whether you are eager to wander the grounds and surroundings of Castle Hill with its churches, towers, statues and the famous Fisherman’s Bastion with its absolutely amazing views of the Danube River, take a bike ride on Margaret Island, or revive yourself one of the city's healing thermal baths, we can guide you. PocketGuide, the world’s leading audio city guide application, reveals the best stories, insider hangouts and must-see sights in more than 100 major cities and tourist destinations. PocketGuide turns your mobile device into a personal tour guide: The GPS figures out where you are, and a voice recording, made by a local guide, describes the sights around you. You don’t need to read text from your phone, just listen and enjoy a city’s attractions while your virtual tour guide explains it all and shares personal insights. PocketGuide works offline, so you save on roaming charges, and it includes an offline map and loads of critical reviews that help you decide where to eat, drink and shop. We also have fascinating themed tours, for those who want to go off the beaten path. Find the top tapas in Barcelona, get chic in NYC’s East Village or follow the trail of a 19th century serial killer in London. Whether you're interested in the main sights or "the road less traveled", PocketGuide is ready to take you there. Please note that continuous use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Audiowalks turns any place into a guided audio walking tour. Not just the famous cities, anywhere. Type a place, pick a length and the themes you care about, and in about a minute you have a real walking route, narrated stop by stop, that plays automatically as you arrive. Most audio-tour apps only cover the same thirty famous cities. Audiowalks writes a tour for wherever you point at: a coastal village, your own neighbourhood, the town you grew up in. If a place has streets and a story, it has a walk. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Anywhere on Earth. No need for someone to have recorded a tour first. We write it on demand. • It plays as you arrive. Pop in headphones and start walking. GPS begins each stop's narration the moment you reach it. No tapping, no fiddling. • Grounded in real sources. Every stop is written from public sources like Wikipedia, plotted on a walkable route, with image credits kept. • Your language. Choose the language for each tour. The script is written and voiced in the language you pick. • Make it yours. Set the length, pick themes like history, architecture, hidden gems or food, and add must-have stops you don't want to miss. • Save for offline. Download a walk and listen with no signal and no roaming. • Discover. Browse a world map of walks others have made, filter by country, city or theme. HOW IT WORKS 1. Type any place, choose a length and themes. 2. We read the maps, dig into the history, plot a real route and voice each stop. 3. Headphones in, start walking. The next stop begins as you get there. Available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Hindi. Tours are generated automatically and may contain errors. Always pay attention to your surroundings and obey local traffic rules while walking.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Budapest. at 43% against Audiowalks's 0%. Budapest. also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). Audiowalks's advantage is rating (2.0 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Budapest. sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Audiowalks sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Audiowalks holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Budapest.'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Audiowalks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Budapest. ships an update every 2 months, Audiowalks every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
