About this experience

Portugal was born in Guimarães in 1109 — the castle is still there to prove it. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Guimarães's UNESCO-listed old town on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Follow clues to the Castelo de Guimarães, Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, and Largo da República do Brasil — three landmarks at the very origin of the Portuguese nation. • Start whenever suits you and take all the time you need — no time limit, no pressure. • Works for families, couples, and friend groups; photo challenges in the medieval streets are more competitive than they look. Around 2 hours, any group size, available in Portuguese and English. Nine centuries of Portuguese history started here — your phone knows where to begin.
