(5 reviews)
Granada (ES), Spain

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

The red fortress on the hill guards gates, palaces and 700 years of stories — the Alhambra's open spaces make a legendary playing field.

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

• Decode the Puerta del Vino, the wine gate that inspired Debussy
• Circle the Palacio de Carlos V and its startling round courtyard
• Stand beneath the Puerta de la Justicia, the fortress's great hand of justice

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in Spanish, English, and French.

No entrance ticket needed — the riddles stick to the public grounds.

What to expect

Starting at the Pilar de Carlos V, the ornate fountain by the fortress walls, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and enter the Alhambra's public grounds. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

The Puerta de la Justicia opens proceedings — the massive horseshoe gate marked by a carved hand and key, with a prophecy riddles are happy to explain.

At the Puerta del Vino, trivia tastes the history of the wine gate, immortalised in music by Debussy without him ever setting foot here.

Then the Palacio de Carlos V surprises everyone: a perfect circle hidden inside a Renaissance square, with acoustics worth testing.

Around two hours on the hill, Granada spread below. The leaderboard passes final judgment at the gate of justice — fitting, really.
