Overview

Leiria has a castle on the hill and centuries of history below it — this tour connects both.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Leiria on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Visit the Sé de Leiria cathedral and the Moinho do Papel, discovering the craft and religious heritage that shaped this quiet Portuguese city
• Go at your own pace, take breaks along the river, and let the riddles lead the way
• Great for groups of any size — the scoring system adds some friendly competition to a very walkable city

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.

Leiria's castle has watched over the city for 900 years — your 2-hour tour is nothing by comparison.

What to expect

Starting at Largo de São Pedro 6, 2400-137 Leiria, open the Explorial app and enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message to begin.

From the heart of the old town, the trail leads through Leiria's compact and walkable streets, with the castle visible on the ridge above throughout the journey. The first riddles take you to the Sé de Leiria, the city's cathedral, with its elegant Renaissance cloister and commanding hilltop views.

Next, the app guides you to the Banco das Artes Galeria, housed in a beautifully restored heritage building and now a centre for local arts and culture.

The final stretch brings you to the Moinho do Papel — the Paper Mill — one of the oldest paper mills in Portugal and a reminder of Leiria's important role in the country's intellectual history.

Around 2 hours of walking, any group size. A fully charged smartphone with mobile data is required.
