Geneva Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

About this activity

Rousseau's island, a wall of reformers and the highest fountain in Europe next door — Geneva thinks big for a small city.

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

• Cross to the Île Rousseau and greet its pensive philosopher

• Climb to the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre, Calvin's austere stronghold

• Measure yourself against the giants of the Mur des Réformateurs

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.
