Santiago Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

Pilgrims end their journey in Santiago — yours is only beginning. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Santiago de Compostela on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Wander the Parque da Alameda for the postcard view of the cathedral's spires • Stand on Praza do Obradoiro, the grand finale of the Camino de Santiago • Slip into Praza da Quintana, split between the 'living' and the 'dead' 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. No walking boots required — curiosity will do.

Starting at the Alameda park on the edge of the old town, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and set course for the granite maze beyond. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. In the Parque da Alameda, riddles start among century-old oaks — and the famous viewpoint framing the cathedral makes an irresistible photo task. Praza do Obradoiro comes next: the square where thousand-kilometre pilgrimages end in tears and blisters. Trivia covers the cathedral facade, the Parador and the pilgrim rituals. Around the corner, Praza da Quintana hides darker tales — its upper and lower halves are known as the quarters of the living and the dead. Give it around two hours, rain or shine (this is Galicia). At the end, the leaderboard reveals which pilgrim earned their compostela.
