Discover the secrets of Bologna. One riddle at a time.

Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, whether you’ve lived here your whole life or are spending your college years here, Bologna always knows how to steal your heart. Nicknamed “La Dotta” for Europe’s oldest university, “La Grassa” for its extraordinary cuisine, and “La Rossa” for the color of its rooftops, Bologna is a lively and dynamic city with a welcoming atmosphere that has so much to offer beneath its porticoes.

In addition to the wonders known to all, however, Bologna hides a world of hidden gems and curiosities that most travelers miss. But you won't discover them with a simple city map or by following a guided group.

That's where ClueGo Bologna comes in, a self-guided puzzle tour designed for those who want to explore both the most famous and lesser-known spots in a fresh and engaging way.

During this interactive experience, you will move among dangerous paintings, walking towers, and a pope who traveled through time, collecting clues and solving puzzles in full autonomy, as in a real urban treasure hunt.

⚠️ Beware: only by solving all the puzzles you encounter along the way will you be able to uncover the hidden secrets of the city of arcades!

Whether you are a curious traveler, a mystery enthusiast, a couple looking for a different activity or a friend looking for an urban adventure, ClueGo Bologna is the perfect experience to discover the city from a new and engaging perspective.
