First cities opening 2026 — friendly locals, ready and waiting
Every city has a version
only locals see.
You don't need a guide. You need a friend who lives there. Spend a day with a real local — their market, their shop, their favourite bar — and go home with a story instead of a photo.
- ✓ Always free to join
- ✓ Friendly, verified locals
- ✓ One happy email when your city opens
Get in early
We're opening one city at a time. Tell us where you're headed and we'll come find you.
You're on the list.
We'll email you before your city goes live — nothing before that, no drip campaign, no nonsense.
First — who are you?
Walclize works two ways.
Pick your side.
Why we built this
You booked the flight.
Now don't waste the days.
Two people land in the same city on the same morning. One follows a list. The other knows someone. Guess who goes home with the better story.
- ×Hours lost to reviews, blogs and lists everyone else already read
- ×The same ten landmarks, the same queue, the same photo
- ×Restaurants with laminated English menus and mediocre food
- ×You leave having seen the city, without ever meeting it
- ✓One person who already knows where to go, and takes you there
- ✓The market at opening, the shop with no sign, the good table
- ✓Where they eat on a normal Tuesday, not where tourists are sent
- ✓You leave with a story, and someone to visit next time
Anyone can see a city.
Walclize gets you into it.
How it works
Three taps to a better day.
No itineraries to build, no reviews to wade through. Here's the whole thing.
Where we're heading
Pick yours. It opens sooner.
Every signup is a vote. The cities with the most people waiting go live first — so tapping one genuinely moves it up the list.
Good to know
A few friendly answers.
Every host is ID-verified before their first booking, and plans are built around small, welcoming groups — usually three or four people, in public places. You'll always see who's hosting, what they charge, and what other travellers loved about them before you say yes.
Genuinely, yes. If you already know your city's best flea market, sunrise walk, or cozy corner bar, that's worth more than you'd think — turn a free morning or evening into a little extra income, on your own schedule, showing off the place you already love. No experience needed, just your own two feet and good taste.
Not at all — Walclize is built for shared experiences, not one-on-one dates. Plans are public, group-friendly, and time-boxed, so it always feels like meeting a friend of a friend, warm and easy.
It'll feel like being shown around by someone who genuinely loves where they live. Hosts share whatever they're truly doing that day — a market, a walk, a favorite shop, a beloved bar — with all the warmth of a real invitation.
Pretty much anything that makes a city feel like home. Morning walks and sunrise loops, flea markets and little treasure hunts, cozy vintage shops, favorite lunch spots, and the best bars in town — if it's part of someone's real life there, it can be part of your day too.
We're building this with the same care you'd want from any booking platform, so you're always looked after if plans change. We'll share the full details before launch.
A little more
Before you go.
Nothing at all! Joining just means we'll let you know the moment your city is ready — no cost, no commitment, just good news headed your way.
Those follow the same route with the same guide, for whoever shows up. On Walclize, every plan is one host's real day — a market run, a favorite shop, a walk, a bar — and it changes because their life does. You're not booking a script; you're getting to know a person and the city they love.
Whichever city has the most excited locals signed up to host — that's genuinely how we decide. Add your city to the waitlist and you'll help move it up the list.
It's the very same list! Just switch to "I live somewhere" above the signup form, and the whole page — plus the email you'll get — changes to the host version, made just for you.
