e-Scavenger hunt Florence: Explore the city at your own pace

Self-Guided City Game Turns Florence into an Interactive Exploration Experience

A new self-guided city tour is offering visitors a playful and flexible way to discover Florence through an interactive smartphone-based game. Designed for independent travelers, the experience allows participants to explore the city at their own pace using a free online app that blends sightseeing with learning. By combining navigation, quizzes, and discovery challenges, the tour transforms Florence’s historic streets into an engaging outdoor activity.

As users move through the city with GPS guidance, they are encouraged to answer questions about landmarks, complete search-based tasks, and uncover lesser-known facts about Florence’s cultural and architectural heritage. The format leads participants through iconic squares, historic streets, and monuments while encouraging closer observation of details often missed during traditional tours. Each stop becomes part of an educational yet entertaining journey through the city.

The experience is designed to be highly flexible, allowing users to start, pause, or resume the game at any time. It is especially suited for families, couples, friends, and larger groups looking for a shared activity that combines exploration with entertainment. The absence of fixed schedules or guided groups gives visitors complete freedom to shape their own experience of Florence.

Accessibility has also been prioritized, with routes designed to accommodate wheelchairs and strollers, as well as convenient access to public transport. The activity is suitable for most visitors, including those with hearing impairments, and service animals are welcome. After booking, participants receive login instructions to access the app, enabling a fully self-guided journey that reimagines Florence as an interactive and immersive city experience.
