Stubbs & the City · City guide
Stubbs knows the city — and builds your personal route in seconds. Scenic paths, every highlight, nothing missed.
In 3 steps
From blank slate to finished walking tour — in under a minute. You say where. Stubbs handles the rest and walks with you.
Step 1 · Plan
Enter your city and starting point, pick how long the loop should be — done. No sign-up needed: in about 30 seconds Stubbs plans your personal city tour.
Step 2 · Preview
Stubbs lays out the ideal loop — you see duration and distance right away. Spots that don't appeal to you are gone with a single tap. Breaks are planned in too: café, restaurant or bar, at the start, in the middle or at the end of the loop.
New · 3D flyover
Once your tour is ready, Stubbs flies it: over the rooftops, from spot to spot, with photos and info at every stop. Not into a place? Drop it right there mid-flight.
Step 3 · Go
Stubbs guides you through the city — in 3D, so you recognise streets and buildings at a glance, and always along the nicest paths. At every spot, he tells you what there is to see.
Every spot has its place
Stubbs groups everything into clear categories. On the map, every symbol shows you what's waiting.
The must-see sights — everything you need to have seen.
Spots with character that we love to include — great, but never overrun.
Hidden spots off the tourist trail — dug up by Stubbs.
Coffee halfway, a beer at the end: you say when, Stubbs finds the place along the way. Two alternatives always come with it.
Worthwhile day-trip destinations outside the core route — best by bike.
Audio sample
The same voice that'll guide you through the city later. Give it 20 seconds — have a listen.
0:000:20
Hey, back again? Did you know Hamburg has more bridges than Venice and Amsterdam combined?
Let's grab a coffee and I'll show you the city along the way. And by that I mean any city, anywhere in the world. Give it a try right now, or get inspired by the community first!
See you out there exploring. Catch you later!
Walked & planned
Every tour gets saved, new ones you plan ahead. City by city, your collection grows — and you always know where you're headed next.
Nothing extra needed
One app, everything included: audio, navigation, the real highlights and your own personal route.
Stubbs tells you about every spot out loud — so you look at the city, not your screen.
Stubbs guides you step by step along the nicest paths. No Google Maps, no back-and-forth.
The sights you have to see — cleverly packed into one route, no detours.
Cafés, bars, and corners that actually suit you — your tour, not everyone else's.

Frequently Asked Questions
An AI city guide is an app that uses artificial intelligence to create personal walking tours on demand — no booking, no group, no fixed departure time. Unlike classic guidebooks or booking platforms, an AI city guide curates a city's highlights individually for each user: tailored to starting point, interests, and available time.
Mapped by Stubbs is an AI city guide that combines mainly open place data (OpenStreetMap, Wikidata, Wikipedia) — with Google only as a supplement — with Claude (Anthropic) for spot curation and OpenStreetMap-based pedestrian routing for route optimization. The result is a hand-picked walking tour — for any city in the world, in seconds.
Mapped by Stubbs works for any city in the world — from Bamberg to Buenos Aires. The app generates tours on demand from place data available worldwide — mainly open sources such as OpenStreetMap, Wikidata and Wikipedia, supplemented by Google. There's no editorial team unlocking cities one by one: if a city is on the map, Stubbs knows it too.
GetYourGuide and TripAdvisor are booking marketplaces — you book a tour there with a fixed time, meeting point, and travel group. Mapped by Stubbs is the opposite: no booking, no group, no departure time. You start whenever you want, go at your own pace, and adjust the route on the go. Stubbs doesn't earn commissions on recommendations — curation is based on quality alone.
Not for planning. Enter a city, adjust the highlights, view the route and preview — all of that runs entirely in your browser, on iPhone, Android and desktop, without an account. For live navigation on the go — turn-by-turn, audio guide and arrival prompts in the background — you need the free Android app. The iPhone version is in the works.
Yes. For comparison: a classic guided walking tour usually costs 15–20 € per person — Stubbs guides you for free. The tour preview with all highlights and the full route is available without registration; a free account is required to save tours.
Yes, even in 3D. As soon as your tour is ready, Stubbs flies the whole loop over a 3D model of the city and stops at every spot, with photos, opening hours and ratings. There you decide what stays in, and the route is recalculated afterwards. Free and in the browser. How the 3D flyover works
Yes. Once the tour is planned, Stubbs asks whether you want to stop along the way: café, restaurant or bar, and for each, when — at the start, in the middle or at the end of the loop. The place goes where it costs the shortest detour, and in the 3D flyover you swipe between three places of the same kind. Stubbs does not suggest chains. Where Stubbs stops in 21 cities

You can walk the tour right here in your browser. Two things are missing: prompts while the screen is locked, and GPS in the background. If you switch apps or the display turns off, navigation pauses.
This tour isn't saved yet. If you leave now it's gone — Stubbs would have to put it together from scratch.
Mind telling us why?
