Overview

Solve a self-guided mystery walk through Pisa's old city. A stranger warns that your visit may destroy the Leaning Tower. Animated figures escape from a Keith Haring mural, possessed by the goddess of love, and head straight for it. Catch them before they topple it.

Use the Questo app on your phone to follow 10 real Pisa landmarks: the Tuttomondo mural, Piazza Garibaldi, Galileo's birth-house plaque, Knights' Square, the Cathedral, and the Leaning Tower. Solve riddles,
decode codes, and chase the figures across the city.

Each chapter has its own puzzle and a piece of Pisan history, from a 14th-century medieval tower house to the 1989 mural and the red column inside the Cathedral.

Start anytime, pause whenever, and pick up where you left off. Allow around 80 minutes for the full 2.6 km route through the old city.
Family friendly, great for couples, and perfect for first-time Pisa visitors who want more than the standard tower selfie.
