SYDNEY, March 19 (People’s Daily Online Australia) -- Sydneysiders and visitors can explore the city’s cultural gems and historical nooks and crannies while improving their fitness levels with the launch of a free walking tour app.

For the first time, the City of Sydney is unveiling Culture Walks, an iPhone and Android app that provides 10 “virtual” walking tours of streets within the City area. There are six guided walks highlighting historical landmarks and four showcasing public artworks.

The walking tours app brings together information that until now has only been available as 14 separate brochures and printed maps.

Launched to coincide with the City Of Sydney-sponsored Art Month, the app features more than 400 historical and public art points of interest, a selection of which can be enjoyed as guided walking tours.
