Ingolstadt Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: German and 5 more

Ingolstadt may be best known for automobiles, but beneath the modern surface lies a medieval city with stories to match any in Bavaria.

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

• Pass through the Kreuztor, one of Germany's most beautiful medieval city gates, standing guard since the 14th century
• Visit the Liebfrauenmünster, a late Gothic church whose twin towers have dominated Ingolstadt's skyline for over 500 years
• Wind through the Klenzepark, a riverside green space built on the site of a former military fortress with the history still visible underfoot

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in German.

Ingolstadt's past runs deeper than most people expect — this tour takes you straight to the source.

What to expect

Starting at Theaterplatz in central Ingolstadt, you'll open the app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and let the riddles guide you through a city whose medieval heart is hiding in plain sight. No guide, no fixed start time.

Your first stop is the Kreuztor, the perfectly preserved city gate standing at the edge of the old town since 1385. One of the finest surviving Gothic gatehouses in Germany, it marks where Ingolstadt's medieval fortifications once ran along the river.

From the Kreuztor, the hunt leads to the Liebfrauenmünster, the city's great late Gothic minster. Construction began in 1425, and the church's twin towers have made it the spiritual centrepiece of Ingolstadt for six centuries.

The route finishes in Klenzepark, a riverside park on the footprint of the old Ingolstadt fortress. Still containing remnants of the old military structures, the riddles will make sure you find them.

Allow around 2 hours to take in the full route. Ingolstadt is a city worth knowing well — and this tour is a good place to start.
