Bergamo Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

About this activity

Bergamo's upper city has been perched above the plain for eight centuries — most visitors see it, fewer really know it.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Città Alta on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Follow clues to the Mura Veneziane, Piazza Vecchia, and Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore — three landmarks that tell the story of a city that outlasted every army sent to take it

• Start whenever suits you and take all the time you need — no time limit, no rush

• Works brilliantly for families, couples, and friend groups; photo challenges make the piazzas more competitive than they look

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

The most beautiful piazza in Italy is up here — your phone will show you where to look.
