Berlin Apps

There are many ways of discovering Berlin: thoroughly prepared with a travel guide or an informative website, strolling through the streets soaking up the city and people, or directly on the spot with a practical app. Along with practical apps for sightseeing, museums, events or travel information, you can also download audio books of literature tips and make that stroll through Berlin into a completely new experience.

Storytude Audio-Touren

Exciting audio stories are on offer by Storytude Audio-Touren. Depending on where you are in Berlin, you can listen to a detective thriller story or sightseeing infos and experience the districts of Berlin in a completely new way. For example, "Rund um den Gendarmenmarkt" (Gendarmenmarkt and vicinity) for Friedrichstraße. Or experience the mysterious side of the Kulturbrauerei (Culture Brewery) with the ghost story “Triff mich im Dunklen” (Meet me in the Dark). The tour through Prenzlauer Berg, on the other hand, is dealt with in a romantic manner. For instance, “Ein aufrechter Kämpfer” (A Staunch Fighter) for your visit to the Oberbaumbrücke (Oberbaum Bridge) dives deep into East-West German history.
