Padova Self-Guided Walking City Tour & Scavenger Hunt

Galileo taught here, a saint draws millions here, and a Trojan hero is supposedly buried on a street corner — Padova packs a lot of legend into a compact old town.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Padova on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Puzzle over the Tomba di Antenore, the medieval tomb said to hold Padova's mythical founder • Visit Palazzo del Bo, home of the university where Galileo lectured for 18 years • Approach the domes of the Basilica di Sant'Antonio, one of Italy's great pilgrimage churches

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size.

By the last riddle, you'll see why Padova refuses to be a day-trip footnote to Venice.
