The Tarragona scavenger hunt starts at the Monument als Castellers on the Rambla Nova and visits the Font del Centenari and the Central Market. Back on the Rambla you reach the Balcó del Mediterrani, then the Roman amphitheatre and circus, City Hall and Plaça dels Sedassos, finishing at the cathedral at the top of the old town.
The route covers about 2.4 km, roughly 32 minutes of walking. Start anywhere or change the order in the app; Google Maps guides you. No entry tickets needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
As Tarraco, Tarragona was one of the most important cities of Roman Hispania, and its amphitheatre by the sea, the circus vaults and the city walls are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Above them rises the Romanesque-Gothic cathedral, while the Rambla Nova celebrates the castells, the Catalan human towers recognised by UNESCO as intangible heritage.
A city game turns sightseeing into a shared challenge. You have to observe to find each answer, so you remember far more than from a guidebook, and the stories and local legends bring every stop to life. There is no tour time to meet: start, pause and finish whenever it suits you.
