Explore Manhattan, NY: Complete Self-Guided Tour

Wander New York City's economic and administrative center not just as a tourist, but as an adventurer turning a regular walk into a memory you’ll share for years.

Whether you're exploring alone, with a partner, or with friends, this complete self-guided tour offers the ultimate freedom of discovery: no rushing after a guide, no groups of strangers, and no strict schedules. You can stop for photos whenever you want, grab a coffee when you feel like it, and discover the soul of the city through the pace and the eyes of a local.

You'll follow the stories faded in the tracks of the legends who lived, loved, and created here: from the folk anthems of Bob Dylan to the electric haze of Jimi Hendrix, and the comedic genius of George Carlin.

Ready for a mix of sightseeing and life journey exploration?

• Washington Square Park: Step into the epicenter of the hippie movement and the stage of the infamous Beatnik Riot. Stand under the arch where the folk revival found its voice.
• Electric Lady Studios: Feel the musical aura radiating from the curved brick facade of the recording studio Jimi Hendrix built just before his death, a temple of rock that still stands today.
• The Bitter End: Find yourself in front of the red brick wall of New York City’s oldest rock and roll club, a venue that launched a thousand careers.

This tour is fully self-guided with the use of the app on your phone. You'll visit a set of locations in the city and each of them will represent a new chapter in your journey.

When you arrive at a location, you'll read the story and search the world around you (statues, plaques, buildings) for the answer to a challenge. Solving the challenge unlocks the next part of the story and a fun "Fact Card" about the landmark in that area. The difficulty level is easy and you can always ask for a hint or skip a challenge if you get stuck.
