What to expect
You'll work through a curated route on foot, moving between landmarks while your phone delivers context and poses puzzles about what you're seeing. The pace is entirely yours—linger where you wish, skip ahead if needed. Expect a mix of architectural appreciation (Belle Époque facades, ecclesiastical buildings) and street-level social history (old plazas, working waterfronts). The riddles are genuinely interesting rather than cheesy, encouraging you to look closer at details. No guide hovering nearby means authentic local encounters; no crowds shuffling behind a umbrella.
