Como Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

About this activity

Como is where the lake ends and history begins — a city that has been outdone by its own shoreline for centuries and never quite let it show.

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

• Solve riddles at the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, the Diga Foranea Piero Caldirola, and the Lungolago — Gothic masonry, engineering ambition, and waterfront elegance

• Walk at your own pace through streets that have hosted Roman emperors and silk traders

• Perfect for couples, families, and groups of any size

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 lake gets all the attention — but the city deserves its share.
