The Zaragoza scavenger hunt starts at the Aljafería Palace and leads to the Misericordia bullring, the Central Market and the Roman walls. From the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar you cross to the Stone Bridge over the Ebro, then visit La Seo Cathedral, the Goya Museum and Plaza del Justicia, finishing on Plaza San Felipe.
The 10 stops cover about 3.8 km, roughly 48 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.
Zaragoza was founded by the Romans as Caesaraugusta, named after Emperor Augustus, and parts of its walls still stand by the Central Market. The 11th-century Aljafería Palace is one of the finest buildings of Islamic Spain, Aragon’s Mudéjar architecture, including La Seo, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the huge Basilica del Pilar beside the Ebro holds frescoes by Francisco de Goya, who was born in the province.
Wandering with a map, you see the famous sights; with a riddle to solve, you start noticing the details around them: dates over doorways, statues, inscriptions. Each answer unlocks the story behind the place, the whole group joins in on their own phones, and you set the pace.
The Zaragoza scavenger hunt takes about 3 hours: 10 stops and about 48 minutes (3.8 km) of actual walking, the rest is riddles and stories. You can pause at any time and continue later.
