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

Helma and Tarik

Hi, we are Helma and Tarik. We have Dutch / Flemish / Moroccan roots and we know each other from the bike tours we organise in Marrakesh. Which is also a fun way to discover this magical city. But on foot you always see more! As it is not easy to find your way within the maze of small streets, we take you with us on this Secret City Trail through the Kasbah.

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.

Secret City Trails Founders

We are Frans and Lidwine, owners of Secret City Trails. We love to play games, both indoors as well outdoor. Togheter with a team of creators, based in different cities in Europe, we have created a wide range of city games. Like to play them? Choose you city, buy the trail and start discovering.

Chris & Inês

Hi! We are Inês (Portuguese) and Chris (Spanish). When we are not travelling and telling all about it in our travel blog, Randomtrip, we are exploring our base and favourite city in the world: Lisbon. We are in love with this city and you can now discover our favourite spots in Lisbon city center (Baixa and Alfama), in Belém and off-the-beaten-track places in our neighborhood with our Arroios trail. Prepare yourself for learning about Portuguese culture and history, to embrace new experiences in the best cultural hotspots in the city and watch an amazing sunset grabbing a beer in our favourite viewpoints.
