Bergamo's upper city has been perched above the plain for eight centuries — most visitors see it, fewer really know it.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Città Alta on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Follow clues to the Mura Veneziane, Piazza Vecchia, and Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore — three landmarks that tell the story of a city that outlasted every army sent to take it • Start whenever suits you and take all the time you need — no time limit, no rush • Works brilliantly for families, couples, and friend groups; photo challenges make the piazzas more competitive than they look

The most beautiful piazza in Italy is up here — your phone will show you where to look.
r your 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message into the free Explorial app and begin a self-guided trail through one of Italy's finest medieval hilltop towns. Along the Mura Veneziane — the UNESCO-listed Venetian walls that ring the entire upper city — you'll tackle riddles about the military engineering that kept Bergamo independent for 350 years. In the magnificent Piazza Vecchia, often called the most beautiful piazza in Italy, challenges test your knowledge of the Palazzo della Ragione and the Torre Civica. At the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, you'll study the extraordinary inlaid stone floor and the Baroque Colleoni chapel attached to its flank. The route takes around two hours at a gentle pace, with stops, photos, and breaks entirely up to you. No guide is needed and no fixed schedule applies.
