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
Enter a city and about 30 seconds later your loop is ready. Then Stubbs walks with you, and you decide along the way how much guiding you want.
Step 1 · Plan
Enter a city and pick a starting point: the city centre, an address such as the station, or your location. If your start is far out, the loop begins at a car park.
Step 2 · Fly it
Stubbs flies your loop in 3D, and at every stop you decide whether it stays. Too long, missing a restaurant, rather the other way round? Tell Stubbs, with a tap or in your own words. Then send the loop to your friends on WhatsApp.
Step 3 · Go
Stubbs takes you to the first stops and announces the turns, in the Android app even with your phone in your pocket. Like a neighbourhood? Tap “On my own” and keep walking without directions. When you’re done, “Back to start” takes you back to the car.
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

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.
Stubbs is an AI city guide that combines open place data such as OpenStreetMap with AI for choosing the spots and pedestrian routing for route optimization. The result is a hand-picked walking tour for any city in the world, in seconds.
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 from open sources such as OpenStreetMap. 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. 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 spots, watch the loop in the 3D flyover: all of that runs entirely in your browser, on iPhone, Android and desktop, without an account. On iPhone and on a computer you can navigate in the browser too. On Android, navigation moves to the free app, which keeps guiding you even with the screen off. An iPhone app 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

The best café is preselected. That’s what most people go with.
We found highlights further out. They’re usually too far on foot. The route would get a lot longer.
