Luxembourg Scavenger Hunt Self-Guided Walking Tour

Unlock landmarks by solving riddles, then read the history waiting at each one.

A self-guided scavenger hunt through Luxembourg using the World City Trail app, where you solve puzzles at 10+ major attractions including the Grand Ducal Palace and Bock Casemates to unlock the next stop. Download the app with your booking reference, start anytime 24/7 from any point in the city, and pause or skip stops as your schedule allows; your access lasts a full year. The walk covers roughly 2km and takes around 2 hours on average, though you set the pace.

The Experience

Download the World City Trail app, enter your 10-digit booking reference, and you're ready to start—no guide waiting, no fixed time. The app guides you through a 2km route with riddles to solve at each stop: the Grand Ducal Palace, Bock Casemates, Cathédrale Notre-Dame, Place d'Armes, Monument to Dicks et Lentz, Place Guillaume II, Michaelskirche, Monument of Remembrance, and the Pétrusse Casemates. Each puzzle uses observation and imagination to unlock the next location and reveal the history or legend tied to it. You can rearrange the order, skip stops, or start from anywhere in the city that suits you.

The activity runs about 2 hours on average, but there's no clock. Pause to sit at a bistro, take in the views from the Chemin de la Corniche, or linger at a site—then resume exactly where you left off, even days later. Your access never expires; you have a full year to finish. The app includes optional AI text-to-speech narration in six languages (English, German, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish), so you can listen instead of reading, and hand-picked local restaurant and shop recommendations appear as you move through the city.

You'll need a fully charged smartphone with active mobile data; disable any VPN and avoid city Wi-Fi, as these will cause the app to disconnect. Wear comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothes. If bad weather or illness gets in the way, you can do the tour another day, or contact support to switch to a different city entirely. Live chat support is available 24/7 if you run into technical trouble.

Top questions

Can I start the scavenger hunt at a specific time, or do I have to begin at a set hour?

The scavenger hunt is 100% self-guided with no fixed schedule. You start anytime, 24/7, whenever it suits you—there's no one waiting at a meeting point. You can even start the next day if you pause partway through.

What exactly do I do at each stop to unlock the next location?

At each stop—like the Grand Ducal Palace or Bock Casemates—you solve a riddle using observation and imagination to figure out where to go next. Once you solve it, the app unlocks the next location and reveals the history or legend of the site you're standing at.

How long does the whole walk take?

The walk covers roughly 2km and takes around 2 hours on average, depending on your pace and how long you spend at each stop. You can pause whenever you want and resume later, so there's no pressure to finish in one go.

What do I need to bring or have ready to start?

You need a fully charged smartphone with active mobile data connection. Wear comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothes. Disable any VPN and avoid city Wi-Fi before you start, as these will cause the app to malfunction.

Can I change the order of the stops or skip some of them?

Yes. You can customize your route, rearrange the order of stops, or skip any location to fit your schedule. You can also start or finish anywhere in the city instead of returning to where you began.

What languages is the app available in?

The app offers narration and text in six languages: English, German, French, Dutch, Italian, and Spanish. Each stop includes optional AI text-to-speech, so you can listen instead of reading.
