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.
