Reinventing

city discovery

Meet the team who will awaken your curiosity, help you explore, encourage you to play and will help you to learn more about the city.

Fall in love with any city

see it like you’ve never seen it before

Secret City Trails is reinventing how we explore and enjoy cities. We do so through playful Discovery Walks in 50+ cities in Europe. Why? Because we believe in playfulness for awakening anyone’s curiosity. On our Walks, you serendipitously discover new places, notice little details in your surroundings – and learn about the city. You’ll gain a truly new perspective on city discovery.
“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”
Irish poet, W.B. Yeats

Katecha

Hello, I’m Katechka! An explorer who constantly discover new things. On my games, I’ll take you places you would never find on your own. Get lost and found in Prague with us and see the best views, explore the Jewish Quarter and unlock its untold stories or get to know more about the Malá Strana neighborhood. Alternatively if the weather isn’t great you could explore Prague’s passages.

(Get to know some of Katechka’s local favourites in Prague on our blog)

Frans

Hoi, I am Frans. I was born and raised in a small village close to Amsterdam. I studies physics in Amsterdam and ended up in Maastricht working for a medical device company. Around 2000 I decided to change my careerd and started an event agency TreaT, catering for business events in Maastricht. In 2013 I created CityGoose citygames in the Netherlands; self-guided city discovery games with a physical game. In 2022 we acquired Secret City Trails, which is like the next logical step to expand my discovery ambitions. I love board games, puzzles and good food and hope you enjoy the different discovery walks I made.

Bernhard

My name is Bernhard and I was born and raised in Salzburg. I have lived also for some years in Italy but my wife brought me back here. It is still one of the most vivible towns in Austria and I think because of it’s variety also one of the best towns to live in. I design trails, am a licensed guide to show you the city, as well as a traveler who loves to explore new things. Play my Secret City Trail to discover hidden gems and beautiful places in Salzburg.
