About this tour
Navigate Barcelona's Gothic Quarter using an app-based scavenger hunt that doubles as a walking tour. Over two hours, you'll crack riddles at historic landmarks, uncover lesser-known corners, and piece together the neighbourhood's story at your own speed. The experience blends puzzle-solving with genuine sightseeing—no guide speaking at you, just you, your phone, and the medieval streets.

What to expect
Download the Explorial app before you start. You'll receive a riddle pointing you towards the first location. Solve it, find the spot, then unlock the next clue. The route connects Gothic Quarter highlights—from medieval facades to hidden courtyards—but you're in control of timing. Some riddles are straightforward; others require closer observation of your surroundings. Expect to walk at a leisurely pace with frequent stops to read plaques, snap photos, or simply absorb the atmosphere. It's more interactive than a standard audio tour but requires concentration and smartphone battery.
