The experience

The tour starts at the Old Town Hall, where your audio guide introduces the first stop and poses the opening quiz question. From there you move through the harbour entrance, marked by a lighthouse and a lion sculpture, then past three towers that anchor the old town's fortifications and history. Each stop comes with an audio story and another quiz question, turning the walk into a small game as you go. The final stop is a church in the old town, where the last quiz wraps up the route.

You control the pace entirely. Start whenever you want, pause for a coffee by the lake, skip ahead if a stop doesn't interest you, or linger as long as you like. The tour takes roughly two to two and a half hours if you move straight through, but there's no clock running. No app download is required: the audio and quizzes play directly on your smartphone through a web link. The tour is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and three additional languages, so you can follow it in whichever language suits you.

Internet connection is needed on your phone to access the tour, though some versions allow offline download so you can play the audio without a live signal. No guide meets you, no group forms around you, and no fixed schedule constrains your morning or afternoon. You're free to explore the old town's painted facades, historic buildings and waterfront on your own terms.
