Lampedusa Audio Guides
If you want to understand Lampedusa as you live it, this is the simplest option: open the audio guides on your phone, choose a stop and press play. They’re made for independent travellers who love real stories and places read with calm.
- Independent: go whenever you want, no groups, no fixed times

- In-depth: nature, culture and memory in one journey
How to use them
- Open the audio-guide web app on your smartphone.
- Choose a stop (a place or a story) and press play.
- Listen while you walk or when you’re on site (headphones recommended).
If you like, you can also add it to your phone Home Screen for quick access.
What the Lampedusa Audio Guides include
A selection of stops to read the island through two lenses: places (tangible heritage) and stories (intangible heritage). So you don’t just visit — you understand.
Places to listen to (nature and landscape)
Examples of stops that match real travel searches: Spiaggia dei Conigli (Rabbit Beach), Tabaccara, rocky and sandy coves, Porto Vecchio (Old Harbour), Capo Grecale, Porta d’Europa, the Sanctuary, the historic centre and the archaeological system.
Stories that give the island meaning
From the Bourbon colonisation to seafaring traditions, from the culture of water and dammusi to border cuisine, up to contemporary themes (migration, the memory of the sea, environmental protection).

A project built in a network
The Lampedusa Audio Guides are a project created by Runder, which developed its own technology and artificial intelligence to turn content into simple, immersive listening experiences. Hub Turistico coordinates the work on the ground and the editorial build, together with the local network.
The audio guides come from shared work: we listen and involve those who live the places, local realities, and the people directly connected to the stories we tell. We’re already working on the next audio guides with organisations and institutions, to build routes that are increasingly complete and useful. The goal is one: to tell, through this tool too, the most authentic Lampedusa and Linosa.
The content builds on the editorial experience of Lampedusa Today™, to keep a clear, practical style rooted in the territory.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions we get most often. If you can’t find what you need, get in touch.
Do I need to download an app?
No — the audio guide opens in your browser as a web app. If you want, you can add it to your Home Screen.
How long does the experience take?
It depends on how many stops you listen to. You can do a quick “bite-size” listen or build a longer route.
Does it work if I have poor connection?
Yes. The audio guides can be used offline: open them and load the content when you have connection, then you can listen without signal while you’re out and about.
I’d like a live guide — is there a tour?
Yes. If you prefer an in-person guide, you can book the Cultural Tour in Lampedusa.
