Discover Mannheim: City tours now also via SmartGuide app!

Mannheim, the lively square city on the Rhine, takes an innovative step into the field of tourism. From now on, visitors can not only explore the city through classic tours, but also do this comfortably with their smartphone. The new SmartGuide app offers travelers the opportunity to experience two digital city tours on their own. This means more freedom and flexibility to individually discover Mannheim's hidden treasures.

The idea of digitally offering city tours corresponds to the modern travel trend, which is increasingly relating to individuality and self -determination. Many travelers often do not have the time to orient themselves on fixed tours or feel uncomfortable in large groups. With the SmartGuide app, exploring the urban space is now easier and more accessible than ever. There are currently two free tours in German and English that can be used on both iOS and Android.

flexible and informative - the new form of exploration

Each of the two tours is designed for different needs. A comprehensive discoverer tour guides users through the main disorders of the city and last around two hours. For families with children there is a shorter, specially designed tour that playfully picks up the little ones. The app clearly shows all relevant routes on a card. Audio files on sights offer detailed information and make the exploration alive and interesting.

A not too negligible advantage of the app is its flexibility: If hunger arises or an interesting business attracts attention, the tour can be interrupted at any time and continued later. This flexibility could be particularly attractive to visitors who want to enjoy Mannheim in peace without having to stick to strict schedule. In addition, the SmartGuide app is not only useful in Mannheim; It offers digital city tours in over 1200 travel destinations worldwide.

An additional service for tourists

Christian Förster, the head of the Tourist Information Mannheim, emphasizes the importance of this digital innovation: "We are pleased that we can create an additional offer for the days with the new digital tours when no public city tours take place." It adds that this app was developed especially for international guests who are becoming increasingly numerous in Mannheim. The opportunity to find out about the tours offered in advance is also estimated.

The digital offer does not contradict the classic city tours. These are still offered and offer personal contact that many guests appreciate. Rather, the innovative app is understood as an additional tool that can enrich the experiences of travelers.

Overall, with the introduction of the SmartGuide app, Mannheim offers a modern alternative to the conventional city tour and thus shows itself as open -minded and contemporary destination. In this context, it only remains to be seen how this innovation arrives among the visitors and whether it will have a lasting impact on travel behavior.
