See the difference

Maps give you the fastest route. Qalasi gives you the best walk.

Regular navigation sends you down the quickest road - often grey, noisy and forgettable. Qalasi looks at the parks, riversides, historic streets and viewpoints near your path, then weaves the nicest ones into your route while keeping the extra time small. You still arrive on time - but the walk itself becomes the best part of your day.

Loved by people who explore their city

Helped me rediscover my own city!

Even after living in my city for 4 years, this app constantly helps me discover new favorite places like I’m a tourist on day one. It works great, is super practical, and makes exploring fun. 10/10!

What Qalasi does

A walking companion built for the journey, not just the destination.

Scenic, not slow

Questions, answered

Everything you might want to know before your first walk.

How does Qalasi pick the route?

It looks for highly-rated parks and sights near your path, scores them by how scenic they are versus how far off-route they sit, then walks you through the best few in order - no zig-zagging.

Will the scenic route take much longer?

Only as much as you allow. Every route is checked against the direct walk and kept within a time budget you choose in Profile - Direct, Balanced or Wander. If a stop would push past it, it is dropped automatically. How the settings work →

How many scenic stops are there?

By default Qalasi aims for 3 along your route and lets you build up to 8 - and you can change both in Profile, up to 15 for a really full walk. Add nearby spots or remove any stop with a tap, and the route rebuilds instantly. How the settings work →

What kind of places does it route through?

Parks, gardens, squares, historic landmarks and popular sights by default - the pleasant places a plain map would skip. Museums, galleries, monuments, viewpoints and marinas can be switched on in Profile.

Does it give turn-by-turn directions?

Yes. Tap Start walking for live guidance on the map - your position, distance remaining and a clear arrival.

Can I use it by bike, by car, with a stroller or in a wheelchair?

Yes. Pick Walk, Bike or Car before you plan; under Walk you can also choose Stroller or Wheelchair for routes that avoid stairs. Qalasi remembers your choice, and loops can last up to 3 hours by bike and 4 hours by car.

Is it good for travelling?

Very. Open Discover, search any city, and Qalasi builds ready-made scenic walks between its top parks and sights - a great way to explore somewhere new on foot.

Is it really free?

Completely free to download and use. No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases.

Do I need an account?

A quick Sign in with Apple or Google lets you save and sync your routes. No passwords to manage.

Is my data private?

Location is used only while you're using the app, never in the background, and your routes stay tied to your account. See our Privacy Policy.
