Geneva Scavenger Hunt and Highlights Self-Guided Audio Tour
Explore Geneva on your own terms — play, learn, and walk through one of Europe's most storied cities.
The Geneva self-guided audio tour combines an interactive scavenger hunt with a rich narrative journey through the city's most iconic landmarks, giving visitors full flexibility to explore at their own pace without the constraints of a scheduled group tour.
Available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, this experience requires no booking confirmation window and no waiting for a guide. Participants can pause their journey to sample world-famous Swiss chocolate at a local chocolatier, take in the sweeping view of the Jet d'Eau from the lakeside promenade, and resume their exploration whenever they choose — even continuing the following day.
The activity is delivered entirely through a mobile app, making it accessible to solo travelers, couples, families, and corporate groups alike. The complete city package bundles an interactive game, audio commentary, historical text, and curated local recommendations into a single, easy-to-use platform.

Tour Itinerary
Begin in the heart of Geneva's historic district, exploring the neo-Gothic Basilica Notre-Dame and the ornate Brunswick Monument, a mausoleum modeled on Scaliger tombs in Verona. Audio commentary provides context on the architectural choices and the notable figures connected to each site.
Continue along the lake to the Monument National, which commemorates Geneva's entry into the Swiss Confederation. From here, players have an unobstructed view of the Jet d'Eau, one of the world's tallest water fountains, rising 140 meters above Lake Geneva.
Ascend into the Old Town, where cobblestone lanes lead to the 12th-century St. Pierre Cathedral — the church where John Calvin preached during the Protestant Reformation. The scavenger hunt prompts visitors to look closely at architectural details that most passersby overlook.
The Reformation Wall, stretching 100 meters along the Parc des Bastions, features monumental statues of Reformation leaders including Calvin, Farel, Beze, and Knox. Nearby, the former residence of Franz Liszt and Marie d'Agoult adds a romantic and artistic dimension to the historical narrative.
The route concludes near the Musée d'Art and the grand Victoria Hall concert venue, a late 19th-century building gifted to the city by a British diplomat. App clues at this stage draw connections between Geneva's role as a cultural meeting point and its broader European significance.
