Arezzo Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

Open the Explorial app, enter your 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, select English or Italian, and tap Start. The route moves through Arezzo's medieval heart, between the Piazza Grande and the city's historic churches. The Chiesa di Santa Maria della Pieve — the 12th-century Romanesque church with its tiered campanile — features early with a riddle that sends you examining the arcade of columns on the facade. The Chiesa di San Domenico, which contains one of Cimabue's earliest works, brings an observation task that rewards careful looking. Palazzo Pretorio, its facade covered in the heraldic shields of Arezzo's former magistrates, features in a photo challenge that gets the group involved. Arezzo's steep lanes keep the pace naturally slow. The live scoring creates good-natured competition — particularly on the clues that require reading the architecture. The app shows final scores and a ranking when the last task is done. Arezzo's medieval centre is one of the best-preserved in Italy; the trail is a good way to understand why.
