Highlights
Porto, 1942. You are Mário, a paperboy with a journalist's ambition and a city full of stories to find.
Use the Questo app to walk Porto's Old Town across 10 real landmarks: São Bento Station, Rua das Flores, Prince Henry's monument by the Douro, the medieval Tower of Rua de Baixo, the Church of the Crickets, and Avenida dos Aliados. At each stop, solve a riddle or decode a hidden detail.
Download the Questo app, activate your quest with the booking code, and start playing when you reach São Bento Station. Pause anytime, take photos, grab a coffee.
You'll uncover stories most tourists miss: a 19th-century almond poisoning on Rua das Flores, the Siege of Porto that emptied the cathedral quarter, and Aristides de Sousa Mendes, the Portuguese diplomat who defied orders to save 30,000 Jews from Nazi-occupied France.
Perfect for couples, friends, families with curious kids, and history-curious solo travellers. About 80 minutes, 3.1 km through Old Town Porto.
