Free Podcasts

What: Forget renting the museum wand. Instead, download podcasts to your MP3 player and get a step-by-step narration of some of the world's hottest spots. Some examples:

Europe:

  • Rick Steves will guide you through the Louvre, Versailles, the Coliseum, the Sistine Chapel, the Uffizi Gallery, and other sites. Each tour features a PDF companion map.
  • Zevisit has free downloadable audio guides to scores of European cities, including Dublin, Hyères, Bordeaux, Munich, Arles, and Cannes.
  • Author Peter Caine has a free podcast based on his book, Walking the Da Vinci Code in Paris. The tour follows the footsteps of Dan Brown’s characters in the best-selling novel.

New York:
Open House New York offers a number of free podcasts of notable though often overlooked buildings throughout the five boroughs, including the Edgar Allan Poe cottage and the Little Red Lighthouse.
