Two thousand years ago this was Tarraco, capital of Roman Spain — and Tarragona still balances its amphitheatre, cathedral, and Mediterranean balcony on the same sunny hill.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Tarragona on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Linger on the Plaça dels Sedassos, home to one of the city's most beloved painted facades
• Crack the codes of the Catedral de Tarragona, built over a Roman temple
• Breathe in the sea view from the Balcón del Mediterráneo above the amphitheatre
Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.
Around 2 hours - any group size.
By the finish, Tarragona's Roman bones and Catalan soul will both feel within reach.

What to expect
At the Plaça dels Sedassos, riddles point you toward the square's famous trompe-l'oeil mural — a painted balcony scene locals treat as a neighbour.
The Catedral de Tarragona crowns the highest point of the city, layering Romanesque and Gothic over a Roman temple site; its cloister and carvings hold answers you'll have to hunt for.
Then the route rolls downhill to the Balcón del Mediterráneo, the iron-railed lookout above the Roman amphitheatre where touching the railing — tocar ferro — is said to bring luck.
About 2 hours in the Mediterranean sun, vermut stops optional. By the end, Tarraco will feel less like a ruin and more like a living city.
