Lucknow Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

About this activity

Lucknow was once the most cultured city in northern India — and the Nawabs' monuments still make that claim very hard to argue with.

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

• Seek out the Lakhi Gate, the Tomb of Saadat Ali Khan, and the Shaheed Smarak — Mughal gateways, Nawabi mausoleums, and a memorial to independence

• Move through Lucknow at your own pace, guided by clues rather than crowds

• Suits history fans, cultural travellers, families, and curious visitors

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.

Lucknow's address to its past is as elegant as its kebabs.
