About the Tour

Have you ever wondered - How do blind and visually disabled people
experience the city? What are their biggest challenges? In what way do they imagine the world around them? What can we learn from them about our neighbourhood?

This tour provides answers to these questions while taking you on a walk through one of Zurich's most beautiful neighbourhoods, Hottingen.

The walk starts and ends in the Stiftung Mühlehalde, a center for blind and visually disabled people. It is a one of a kind building in the area, as well as Zurich in general.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen
The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.
Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions
VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.
Resume playback to go at your own pace
If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.
Listen as many times as you like
You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.
Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast
Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.
Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync
Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.
Do tours without paying for data
Tours work offline, so you don't have to pay roaming fees. Just download them over WiFi before you get started.
