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

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.

Svenja and Pekka

Hi, we are Svenja and Pekka! We love traveling and discovering new places. In the first year of our relationship, we had already visited nine different countries. Traveling got even more fun after we discovered Secret City Trails and we started seeing our own city with different eyes! We hope that you will have a good time in Tampere while playing our game!

Sarah

Zdravo, I’m Sarah and I run Montenegro Pulse, a destination guide to Montenegro. I use my viewpoint as a foreigner with local knowledge to help people get the best out of their stay here and I’m excited to help you experience this unique destination beyond the guidebooks. Play my Secret Trail in Kotor to discover hidden beauties and experience the best this gorgeous destination has to offer.

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.
