Ghent and Mechelen have created one big highlight route of 2 hours, Antwerp and Leuven preferred the formula of 3 shorter themeroutes.

You also receive a map with the location of all points of interest, which you can print and take with you on your trip through the art cities. So you will know at which location you have to start which story.

If you a have an Android-smartphone you can install Navitell ASP on your device. This application will allow you to get automatic storytelling and navigation triggered by satellites.

We strongly (!) advise you to download and install the full content upfront on your device.
Streamingcosts are extremely high in Belgium and by this you prevent both roaming- and streamingcosts. Once in the art cities Navitell ASP will take care of the full experience.

For people who do not have an Android smartphone, you also get audiofiles between the stories telling you where to go and which story to start.
