Today we will briefly consider such a seemingly simple question, how to make a walking route through the sights of an unfamiliar city, if the travel time is very limited. Naturally, there are a huge variety of different specialized applications for any platform, but sometimes you can get by with standard tools.
So, to get acquainted with the most interesting cultural sites in almost any more or less large city in a developed country, you can use an ordinary Google search, which, in turn, usually contains a special section "Guide".
BY TOPIC: Where are my friends, or how to share location data in the Google Maps application.
For example, if you enter the search query "Sights of Prague" in your desktop browser, then on the right side of the page you will find the required section "Guide".
Going to it, we open the "Plans for the day" tab, where we find ready-made routes recommended and passed by millions of users with marked attractions and their detailed descriptions in Russian.
For most major cities, you can find here an excursion schedule for one or three days, as well as separate sections with specialized routes (for example, for children).
The process of getting sightseeing itineraries on a mobile device is slightly different. After entering the query "Attractions [city name]", you must click on the "More options" button. Then you need to scroll down the page to the card with additional information on the city (see screenshot below).
Then again scroll down the page to the "Recommended plans for the day" section, in which the excursion route is selected.
