Self-Guided Walking Tours
Self-guided walking tours can be done using the Otocast app. Download the app and search for “Punta Gorda, FL” to find us.
This app allows you to see, hear and explore cultural attractions and destinations from your mobile phone or device.
You can see photos of each mural, it’s location and hear an audio description of the history right from your phone. It will even tell you if a mural is nearby as you’re walking the town.
We also have a free paper mural Walking Guide that you can pick up at the Punta Gorda Chamber on 252 W. Marion Ave. The Guide lists all the murals and a map with their locations. Each mural wall has a QR code you can scan to learn more about it and the history it captures.
