Zaragoza Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
About this experience
Two cathedrals, one river and a basilica that survived cannonballs — Zaragoza has stories to spare. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Zaragoza on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Stand before the Basílica del Pilar and its fresco-filled domes • Cross the Plaza del Justicia and its tales of Aragonese law • Decode the Catedral del Salvador, La Seo, a style-by-style history lesson 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. The capital of Aragón deals you in.
What to expect
Starting at Plaza de Sas in the Casco Antiguo, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and weave into the old town. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. The Basílica del Pilar soon fills the skyline with domes and towers above the Ebro. Riddles find the Goya frescoes and the two unexploded bombs still on display. At the Plaza del Justicia, trivia recalls the Justicia de Aragón, the medieval office that dared to check the power of kings. Then the Catedral del Salvador — La Seo — closes the circuit, a single cathedral wearing Romanesque, Gothic, Mudéjar and baroque all at once. Around two hours through Caesar Augusta's descendants. The final ranking is announced without a single cannonball.
