Travel across UK, USA & Europe to hear about plaques, architectural features, important people, geologic oddities, historic events, key cultural moments & other interesting facts at the spot where they are when you travel, holiday, walk, explore or exercise anywhere in the world. Perfect for curious travellers who want to know the whole story when visiting National Trust sites, ancient monuments, capitol cities, foreign countries, local historical sites, public parks & other tourist / travel destinations in the largest outdoor museum that is Walkfo.
Walkfo's travel and tourism engine has millions of facts ready for you to explore - and if you are somewhere new to Walkfo, it will scan the area to create an interactive audio tour / outdoor open museum ready for you to explore within minutes.
Tourist destinations can now create their own content to augment Walkfo's millions of facts, with outdoor museums created for places like Bournemouth, Dorset. By creating an app based technology that works like the audio headset usually only available within art galleries or museums, Walkfo users can explore outdoor spaces freely (and for free for 10 hrs initial use) anywhere in the world hear from millions of facts already available or to access 'public walks' created by tourist destinations for a safer, more immersive & mindful experience.
The '100 Amazing Bournemouth Area Places' is a fantastic example of a walkable, outdoor museum with the main audio points being based around the centre of the town. Simply install the app and start to walk around the town centre and Walkfo will give you the option to join in the outdoor open museum / audio trail walk.
