Monuments, museums, squares, architecture, history and design: do yourself and the environment some good by discovering what surrounds you, outdoors, simply by walking.
How?
It's never been easier. Just buckle your shoes, open RandomWalking and follow the arrow;)

RandomWalking is NOT a navigator or a travel guide, what you will NOT find here is a strict path to follow or a collection of attractions to visit.
RandomWalking will be your compass, what you will have is only the suggestion of a direction, as if a local friend told you 'Hey, there's something you can't miss over there! A simple and minimal indication that will allow you to focus on your surroundings and not on a screen.

Walk through a relaxing landscape or immerse yourself in the crowds of a chaotic city. Choose your path according to what most appeals to you at the moment, don't study maps or prepare detailed plans. The RandomWalking arrow will adapt its suggestions based on where you are, the places and attractions you have previously visited and the path you choose.

When you reach an attraction, it will be revealed and added to your list of points of interest reached. Here you can search for more information, ask RandomWalking to guide you back to that point, manage a list of favorites or share them with your friends.

RandomWalking will always select and propose new attractions near you. However, its behavior can be adjusted by choosing your training level (or your willingness to walk at the moment) and the way the point of interest will be reached and revealed.

So you can choose if today you feel like a
- Great Walker: if you are not afraid to walk even 30 minutes to reach your next goal.
- Good Walker: if you consider a goal that is 15 minutes walking distance attainable.
- Idle Walker: if you consider reachable only the objectives that are 5 minutes away.
And customize your exploration according to 3 modes of operation
