Step into the past
Bring the streets to life with immersive history trails on GPS-triggered maps.
What did it mean to choose sides in Valencia during the Spanish Civil War? How did it feel to face plague in seventeenth-century Trento? What was it like to lead a protest in Exeter against Henry VIII’s Reformation? Walk on historic maps, hear figures from the past, and experience trails that uncover the hidden histories of cities in the UK and Europe. HistoryCity apps are developed at the University of Exeter and free to use.
