SightRun mobile app, invented by Croat startup, helps tourists discover Graz

The application SightRun developed by the Croatian startup SightRun has been added to programmes offered to tourists in the Austrian city of Graz, the co-founder of the Croatian startup, Sandra Bortek, said on Tuesday. SightRun is a mobile app for audio guided running tours. According to information provided on the company's web site, "with SightRun App you can run in a new city whenever you like." The application can help tourists discover a new city.

It was invented by "a group of enthusiastic runners who also like to travel and experienced a problem themselves. When traveling to a new destination, we didn’t know where to go for a run or where it’s safe to run."

"While doing your daily run, why not discover local attractions or interesting facts about the city you are visiting? SightRun is a great travel companion for runners," according to the information.

The startup also boasts that with GPS triggered audio navigation and stories, users just have to follow the instructions. "No more route planning or looking at the map, SightRun allows them to run stress-free."

This application also includes Zagreb, Rovinj, Opatija and Munich. (Hina)
