There's more to Pisa than one leaning tower — and this hunt makes sure you see all of it.

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

• Take a closer look at the Duomo, the stunning cathedral at the heart of one of medieval Europe's greatest architectural ensembles
• Track down the Bagni di Nerone, the ruins of an ancient Roman bathing complex hidden just steps from the tourist trail
• Follow in the footsteps of Galileo Galilei and learn how Pisa shaped one of history's greatest scientific minds

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in Italian, English, and German.

Pisa has been surprising visitors since the Middle Ages — this tour keeps the tradition going.

What to expect

Starting on Corso Italia in central Pisa, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and follow the riddles through a city with far more depth than most visitors discover. No guide, no fixed start time.

Your first landmark is the Duomo, the magnificent Romanesque cathedral at the centre of the Campo dei Miracoli. The riddles will show you details you almost certainly missed — from the ancient bronze doors to the medieval mosaics above the apse.

The route then takes a detour to the Bagni di Nerone, the remains of a Roman thermae complex dating back roughly two millennia. Largely overlooked by tourists, they're a reminder that Pisa's history begins long before the tower started tilting.

The hunt wraps up with a trail following Galileo Galilei, Pisa's most famous son. The city comes alive as the birthplace of the scientific method — and the clues put you in his footsteps.

The tour takes around 2 hours at a leisurely pace. Pisa has always had more to offer than one tilted building — this hunt makes that impossible to miss.
