Description

Tavira is the Algarve town that got away — tile-covered churches, a Moorish castle, and a Roman bridge, all quietly going about their business. This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Tavira on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Solve clues beside the elegant Câmara Municipal, climb to the Castelo de Tavira for hilltop views, and cross the Ponte Antiga — the old Roman bridge across the Gilão • This is a slow-paced, beautiful town, and the tour lets you walk it entirely at your own speed • Equally enjoyable for couples, families, and history lovers — the scoring system adds a gentle competitive edge Around 2 hours, any group size, available in Portuguese and English. They say Tavira has more churches than days of the week — your riddles will take you past several of them.

Good fun!

This was a fun way to find your way to some points of interest in Tavira. We enjoyed solving the puzzles although we ran out of time on a few. Maybe a slightly longer time needs to be allowed to complete? All in all a nice activity to do though.
