Overview

This activity has been designed by a local ‘expert’, who has created a fun experience that takes you to some of the town’s highlights and the lesser-known places, away from all the tourists. The puzzles are designed to help you experience the place from a different perspective – using landmarks, murals, statues etc - and you’ll even learn some ‘fun facts’ along the way.

The self-guided aspect of your activity means that you can rush through as fast as you like or stop for a drink or something to eat as you like. The app remembers your progress and even allows you to complete it another day.

This activity aims to strike a fun balance between challenging puzzles, a fun outing with friends and family, and a pleasant walk around outside.

What to expect

This activity is an interactive experience that combines elements of scavenger hunts, treasure trails, walking tours, and escape rooms. Think of it as a self-guided puzzle walk – blending sightseeing with problem-solving, turning a simple walk into an engaging and inspiring experience.

The trail takes you through Faro’s must-see highlights, from the historic cobbled streets of the medieval Old Town (Cidade Velha) to the tiled boulevards of the bustling shopping district, and the palm-lined harbour. Along the way, you’ll also discover hidden gems, including the traditional São Pedro district, known for its local character.
