Highlights
A self-guided & real-life city discovery game via your phone
The joy of solving riddles and unlocking local stories, secret recommendations and the locations of the city’s hidden gems
An unconventional and authentic view of Lisbon's colourful Bairro Alto (not the party filled variant) and fancy Principe Real
Play any time & enjoy discovering the city at your own pace
Description
Solve 9 riddles. Each riddle takes you from one (hidden) location to the next. You’ll unlock local recommendations and fun facts - as well as the history of the city.
You’ll discover spots in Bairro Alto and Principe Real that many locals don’t even know. You’ll see popular sights from a different angle (literally!). This discovery trail shows you charming streets, local shops and independent cafes, curious statues and wicked art. You will enjoy incredible views from miradouros (viewing points). For example, you'll overlook the river and admire the 25 de Abril bridge from the Miradouro of Adamastor/Santa Catarina. And you find a popular view of the typical mini tram! You unlock the best local spots, for pasteis de nata (get them at Manteigaria!) and shopping! Plus so much more!
