Tarragona Scavenger Hunt and Highlights Self-Guided Audio Tour

Play, explore, and discover Tarragona at your own rhythm — no schedules, no waiting.


This Tarragona self-guided scavenger hunt combines interactive gameplay, audio storytelling, and local insider knowledge into a single app-based experience that lets you explore the city entirely on your own terms.

The tour visits more than ten of Tarragona's most significant landmarks, from the Roman amphitheatre overlooking the sea to the grand Cathedral that anchors the old town. Along the way, puzzles and challenges reveal layers of history that a standard walk-through would miss.

Because everything runs through your mobile device, there are no fixed departure times and no group to keep pace with. Stop for a coffee on the Rambla Nova, linger at the Balcony of the Mediterranean, or split the experience across two leisurely sessions — the choice is entirely yours.

Insider restaurant and shop recommendations are built into the app, so the tour doubles as a practical local guide for the rest of your stay in Tarragona.

Tour Highlights

Fully app-based activity that starts immediately after booking, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Ten-plus major attractions covered, including the Roman Amphitheatre, Circ Roma, City Hall, and Tarragona Cathedral.

Hidden gems and local recommendations woven into the route, going well beyond the standard tourist trail.

Flexible structure allows you to pause and resume the tour across multiple sessions, even on different days.

Route Overview

1
Monument als Castellers and Font del Centenari

The tour opens near the Monument als Castellers, a tribute to the human tower tradition that defines Catalan culture. The Centenary Fountain nearby marks the starting point with a first puzzle to set the tone.

2
Mercat de Tarragona and Rambla Nova

The route moves through the covered market, a working hub of daily Tarragona life, before continuing along the Rambla Nova. This broad boulevard connects the modern city with its Roman-era core.

3
Balco del Mediterrani and Amfiteatre Roma

The Balcony of the Mediterranean delivers a panoramic view over the sea that has defined this coastline for two millennia. Steps away, the Roman Amphitheatre sits at the water's edge, one of the best-preserved arenas of its kind in Spain.

4
Circ Roma and City Hall

The buried vaults of the Roman Circus once hosted chariot races beneath what is now the old town. The adjacent City Hall square reveals how the medieval city was built directly on top of its ancient predecessor.

5
Placa dels Sedassos, Pla de la Seu, and Catedral de Tarragona

The final stretch passes through quiet historic squares before arriving at the Cathedral of Tarragona, whose construction spans Romanesque and Gothic periods. The Pla de la Seu offers an open terrace in front of the cathedral facade, an ideal spot to reflect on the route.
