Caccia al tesoro a Siena: esplorare la città giocando

In Siena, it doesn’t take much to turn a simple walk into an adventure. Medieval streets become clues, squares turn into game stages, and every detail hides a story waiting to be discovered. Kids don’t just “visit” the city: they explore it, search for it, and solve it.

This interactive treasure hunt is a self-guided experience that turns Siena’s historic center into a giant open-air game. Through a web app, families follow a route filled with riddles and missions, guiding them step by step through both iconic landmarks and hidden corners of the city.

From the heart of Piazza del Campo to the Duomo and quieter streets, each stop requires observation, logic, and curiosity. This is not a traditional visit: it’s an active experience where children become the main characters, discovering Siena while having fun.
The route blends history and play, revealing surprising details along the way: hidden elements, local legends, and small secrets that make the city even more fascinating.
