Padova Self-Guided Walking City Tour & Scavenger Hunt
Description
Galileo taught here, a saint draws millions here, and a Trojan hero is supposedly buried on a street corner — Padova packs a lot of legend into a compact old town. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Padova on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Puzzle over the Tomba di Antenore, the medieval tomb said to hold Padova's mythical founder • Visit Palazzo del Bo, home of the university where Galileo lectured for 18 years • Approach the domes of the Basilica di Sant'Antonio, one of Italy's great pilgrimage churches Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English and Italian. By the last riddle, you'll see why Padova refuses to be a day-trip footnote to Venice.
