This playful walk across Edinburgh’s Old Town sharpens your senses and encourages you to appreciate the most wonderful – and often hidden – details around you.

Curious facts:

Get to know more about the city, discover the secrets of the main attractions, and learn about curious facts that you won't read elsewhere.

Find monuments and hidden secrets:

Our local creator created an interactive walk through the city. Cryptic indications make you wind through the cities streets, inviting you to pay attention to details which you usually won't notice. Once you've arrived at the next stop, you will have to solve a question: open your eyes and mind and use your location to find the right answer!

Enjoy:

While doing this discovery trail, you will get to know the city from another point of view. Even locals discover new facts while doing secret city trails!

Local wonders you'll discover during this discovery game: Edinburgh Castle, the statue of David Hume and the picturesque St Giles' Cathedral, the smallest pub in Scotland, the statue of sir john steell and the Scotsmans steps.
