The city, lit around you.
Pick a city. Choose your landmarks — as many or as few as you like — and Lume builds the walk. The streets light up around you, narrated in your language by the time you reach each one.
$9.99 flat — the same price however many stops you pick. 12 hours of validity that start when you begin walking, not when you pay or activate.
“You stopped here. The window above belonged to a poet, the year before they came for him.”
A city is not a list of monuments, and not a route between two pins.
It is a conversation happening at a frequency you have not yet tuned. Lume is the dial.
Walk where you want. Tap when you choose. The streets begin to speak in the voice of the people who lived them — in any of thirty-two languages.
Not a tour. A city, unlocked.
Lume is a self-guided urban exploration platform — not an audio guide on rails. Four promises, in any city we light.
- — 01
Every landmark of the city is yours to pick.
No fixed route. Choose the places you want to hear — one flat price, however many you take. A small heritage site may have only a handful; there, each story goes deeper — the full history, the telling details, the secrets — instead of more stops.
- — 02
The narration finds you at each landmark.
Phone in your hand, screen on: as you reach a landmark, Lume feels it, buzzes softly, and the voice begins — no hunting for a play button. Lock the phone and it simply waits; wake the screen and it picks up. You can always tap a stop to play it yourself.

Spoken in 32 languages, by a native voice.
Pick your language at checkout — every narration is delivered in it, in a natural, human-sounding voice, with verified sources you can check.

12 hours, your pace.
Once you start walking, you have 12 hours to finish. Stop for coffee, sit in a park, take photos — the clock waits for you.

Walk. The audio comes to you.
Keep the screen on as you walk. As you reach each landmark the narration starts on its own — a buzz, then the voice, a few minutes of sourced history. Locking the phone pauses the auto-start; a tap always plays a stop. Then on to the next.
Begin where you
are standing.
Pick your city. Set your time. Walk out the door. The streets remember everything — they're just waiting for someone to ask.
