Genoa's Historical Centre

Play a city game where you’ll follow clues to discover one of Europe’s most important ports, Genoa. You’ll see many buildings and landmarks, such as the Ducal palace or St. Lawrence Cathedral, which was of major political importance, along with some lesser-known hidden gems. You’ll also find out how the city became a maritime power in the Mediterranean Sea.

Are you ready to explore Genoa?

Highlights:

• Discover important historical buildings such as St George Palace, one of the first banks in Europe 
• Learn about its glorious past as a commercial empire with many colonies in Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Israel, Syria etc.
• Find out why Genoa was called 'The Superb One'

Each clue will lead you from one place to another by providing you with exact directions so you won't need a map, GPS, or guide. As you solve the problem and guess the answer, the secret story of that place is unlocked.

After you buy the quest, you'll get your access code by e-mail which will be used in the app. The tour will take you about 1.5 hours to complete, but there’s no time limit which will allow you to go at your own pace. You won't need a guide, just download the app, go to the starting point, and begin the adventure.

If you are a large group, one person can purchase access for the entire group by selecting the number of people in the group. All group members will be able to play the city game on their smartphone. Alternatively, each person can purchase their own ticket.

You can play as a group and solve the clues together as you walk, or you can split into smaller groups/teams and compete against the others. Each person can also play on their own, separate from the group and meet the group at the end of the tour.
