What to expect
You'll download the World City Trail app and set off whenever suits you—early morning or late afternoon work equally well. The scavenger hunt directs you between ten significant points in the old quarter, where each stop presents a riddle or observation task. These aren't abstract brain-teasers; they prompt you to notice architectural details, read plaques, or spot specific landmarks. Between riddles, you have complete freedom to photograph, rest on a bench, or slip into a pintxo bar. Two hours is the suggested duration, though faster walkers might finish sooner and meandering types may stretch it longer. The narrow streets can feel steep in places.
Good to know
The tour operates entirely outdoors with no entry fees. An internet connection helps with the app, though offline maps download beforehand. Wear comfortable shoes for cobblestones.
