You’ll explore Trento’s old streets at your own pace, solving clues and snapping creative photos along the way. Expect moments of laughter, small discoveries at places like Castello del Buonconsiglio or Piazza Duomo, and time to pause whenever you want. It’s a playful way to see the city — one you’ll remember long after you leave.
Ever wondered if you’d notice more about a city if you had to actually look for things? That’s how I felt starting the Trento scavenger hunt — just me, my phone, and this weird excitement about not knowing what would pop up next. The first clue led us towards Piazza Duomo, but honestly, I got distracted by the smell of coffee drifting out of a side street café. My friend nudged me back on track (she takes these riddles seriously), and we ended up squinting at a statue trying to spot the answer. Some locals passed by and one older man grinned at our confusion — he must’ve seen this before.
The best part was how the scavenger hunt made us slow down. Instead of just snapping photos of Castello del Buonconsiglio like everyone else, we actually read the signs and noticed little carvings I’d never have spotted otherwise. The app kept things moving but didn’t rush us; we could stop for gelato or just sit in the sun when we wanted. There was this one photo challenge that had us posing like statues — I’m pretty sure we looked ridiculous, but it made us laugh so hard people stared. Not that I cared much by then.
I didn’t expect to learn as much as I did — some facts about Dante’s monument stuck with me (though don’t ask me to repeat them now). The whole thing felt less like a tour and more like wandering with purpose, if that makes sense. You start seeing Trento differently when you’re hunting for details instead of just walking through. Even now, sometimes I remember that feeling of being lost but not really lost at all.
