Perugia Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
Overview
Perugia sits at the top of a hill with 2,500 years of history beneath its feet — and this hunt takes you through all of it.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Perugia on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Pass through the Arco Etrusco, a monumental gateway that has stood since the 3rd century BC
• Seek out the Oratorio di San Bernardino, a Renaissance gem hidden behind one of Umbria's most ornate facades
• Follow the Acquedotto medievale, a 13th-century aqueduct that now serves as an elevated walkway across the city
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English and Italian.
Three millennia of history in one walk — and a scavenger hunt that makes every layer count.

What To Expect
Starting at Via delle Prome 20 in Perugia's historic centre, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and set off into a city inhabited since before Rome was founded. No guide, no fixed start time.
Your first stop is the Arco Etrusco, one of Italy's finest surviving Etruscan gateways. Built in the 3rd century BC and later absorbed into Roman and medieval structures, it's proof that Perugia's history stretches far beyond the Renaissance.
The route then leads to the Oratorio di San Bernardino, a small 15th-century oratory with a facade so richly decorated it looks almost too elaborate to be real. The riddles will have you studying every carved figure.
Next is the Acquedotto medievale, a 13th-century aqueduct that now serves as an elevated walkway across the city. Walking its length offers a history lesson and views few visitors ever discover.
Allow around 2 hours at a comfortable pace. Perugia has depth at every turn — and this tour is the best way to feel all of it.
