The Luxembourg City scavenger hunt starts at the Dicks-Lentz Monument and passes Place d’Armes, Place Guillaume II and the Grand Ducal Palace. You walk out to the Bock Casemates above the Alzette valley, return via St Michael’s Church and the Kaddish memorial to Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Gëlle Fra, finishing on the Chemin de la Corniche.
Expect about 30 minutes (2 km) of walking in total. You can start elsewhere or change the order in the app, with Google Maps guiding you. No entry tickets are needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Luxembourg City grew around a mighty fortress on a rocky plateau above the Alzette and Pétrusse valleys, and its old quarters and fortifications are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Bock Casemates are tunnels carved into the rock, the Grand Ducal Palace is the Grand Duke’s official town residence, and St Michael’s Church stands on the city’s oldest religious site.
A game makes you look closely at statues, inscriptions and façade details you would otherwise pass by, and the stories that follow explain what you have just seen. Everyone plays on their own phone, there is no schedule, and you can stop at a café on Place d’Armes whenever you like.
