bluewalks is a free collaborative platform to discover, create and share walking tours with everybody. The main concept is to allow anybody create and update the information of any route, just like Wikipedia. It is a hybrid combination of Google Maps + Wikipedia. Users can also embed images with description in each point of interest when they draw their walks. There is also an embed functionality to insert the created map onto any webpage or blog.

This project started off in 2008 by a group of student from Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. So far, bluewalks has won various awards which includes Seedrocket 2009 and Start Innovation & Sustainability 2008. The project is created with a goal to rediscover the city through the eye of city travellers and to encourage people to share their unique perspective of their own city.
