Some cities are best explained by walking through them. OpenEar plays a tour in your ear as you walk. When you reach a stop, the audio starts on its own — the phone stays in your pocket. No tapping. No signal required. NOT A LIST OF FACTS. AN ARGUMENT. Every OpenEar tour is written to make a point, not to recite dates. The Gothic Quarter is younger than it looks. Istanbul's most photographed square was a Roman racetrack. Each stop builds on the last, and the walk ends somewhere you didn't expect. HOW IT WORKS Choose a tour. Download it before you go. Start walking. GPS wakes each stop as you reach it — or tap any stop to play it yourself. MADE FOR WALKING, NOT FOR STARING AT A SCREEN · Works fully offline once downloaded — no roaming, no dead zones · Plays with the screen locked, from your pocket · Full transcripts for every stop, if you'd rather read or can't hear the audio · Available in English, Spanish, French, German and Italian BUY A TOUR ONCE. KEEP IT FOREVER. No subscription. No ads. No account required to browse. WE DON'T TRACK YOU Your location never leaves your phone. OpenEar contains no analytics, no tracking, and no crash-reporting software of any kind. We built it that way on purpose.
