Uppsala Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

Vikings, botanists and Sweden's oldest university — Uppsala packs a lot of brainpower into a small city, and it expects some of yours. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Uppsala on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Climb toward Uppsala Castle, stronghold of Sweden's Vasa kings • Admire the University Main Building and its grand aula • Track down Güntherska, the beloved confectionery institution 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. Study hard, play harder.

Starting at S:t Eriks torg, between the cathedral and the river, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and set off through the university quarter. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. Uppsala Castle looms pink on its hill — built by Gustav Vasa, scene of abdications and intrigues. Riddles storm the ramparts painlessly. The University Main Building follows, its 19th-century aula echoing with four centuries of scholarship. Trivia tests whether you'd have passed the entrance exam. Then a sweeter challenge: Güntherska Hovkonditori, the classic patisserie where clues come with a strong hint to stop for fika. Around two hours covers castle hill to café. The leaderboard graduates the winner with honours.
