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

A random pick out of our local creators

Julia

Hello there! My name is Julia, born and raised in Madrid. I am a traveller who loves to discover the uncrowded, hidden gems during my trips and I would love to show you those places in my city. Walking narrow streets, tasting the local Madrid, learning about the history and literature through the stories. If you go on my gamified walk ‘Follow in the footsteps of famous writers‘ you will solve riddles that will make you just a little bit native!

Alex

As a lover of urban adventures, I’m excited to show you Sofia’s historic and modern sides. Play my first adventure here.

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.

Theodora

Servus! My name is Theo and the pretty girl on the left is my dog Bella. I was born and raised in Austria, I enjoy good puzzles – and I’ve always loved to show the city and beautiful Austria to my friends from abroad. Why’s that, you ask? Well, because I think Austria is not only amazingly beautiful but also full of surprises! Being an avid traveller myself, I know that the best way to get to know the place beyond all the clichés is to find a local who will show you nice spots that you can’t find in guidebooks – including some nice places to enjoy the local cuisine and drinks. If that’s your kind of thing, play my Secret City Trail and discover Vienna off the beaten path
