Overview

A Roman aqueduct crashes straight into the middle of town, a castle looks suspiciously like Disney's, and a house is covered in 617 stone spikes — Segovia is anything but subtle.

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

• Cross the Plaza Mayor in the shadow of the last great Gothic cathedral built in Spain
• Reach the Alcázar de Segovia, the ship-prowed castle said to have inspired Disney
• Count the diamond spikes of the Casa de los Picos on your way through the old town

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.

When the last answer lands, this UNESCO hill town will feel like a riddle you personally solved.

What to expect

Starting at Plaza Azoguejo, right beneath the arches of the Roman aqueduct, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and climb into the old town. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

The route leads up through medieval streets to the Plaza Mayor, where the honey-coloured cathedral — nicknamed the Lady of Cathedrals — towers over café terraces and clue locations alike.

At the far edge of the ridge waits the Alcázar de Segovia, part royal palace, part fortress, shaped like the bow of a ship sailing over the plains; its towers and legends fuel some of the trickiest riddles.

On the way back, the Casa de los Picos shows off its wall of 617 granite pyramids — a 15th-century flex by a noble family, and an irresistible photo task.

Roughly 2 hours door to door, cochinillo breaks not included. By the end, Segovia's skyline will read like a story you know by heart.
