A taste of the challenge
01 / Word riddle

Name the creature.

I’m a majestic beast, swift and bold,
In fields of green, my tale unfolds.

A noble creature, with hooves that prance,
A symbol of freedom in every glance.

I can move swiftly, by day or night,
Chasing the wind, my spirit takes flight.

Though I may be pure, like snow, of course,
Can you guess what I am with my grace and force?

What makes these quests in Florence more fun than a regular walking tour?

Because you're not just watching—you’re part of a story. You’ll wander past the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi—all while following clues, solving puzzles, and uncovering secrets nobody mentions in guidebooks.

What’s a romantic thing to do in Florence if I’m here with my partner?

Try Saving Michelangelo: The Florence Mission or a mystery quest around sunset. Stroll through Piazza della Signoria, cross Ponte Vecchio, get golden-light views from Piazzale Michelangelo—plus puzzles to share.

Is Florence good for families and kids with these quests?

Definitely for families with older kids who like solving things and listening to stories. Some quests are lighter and playful, with ghost tales or kid-friendly mysteries. If small kids are along, pick a route that has breaks and interesting visuals.

Is it safe and easy to walk these quests?

Yup. Most routes go through well-populated, popular parts of the city—old town, piazzas, main streets. Some stairs or steeper streets in the hills (like around Oltrarno or up to Piazzale Michelangelo), so comfy shoes help.

Can I do these quests solo, or are they better with friends?

Both work. Solo means you go at your own speed, soak up moments quietly; with friends or a partner you get to solve together, laugh, argue over the clues—makes it more social.

Do I need to reserve in advance or meet someone?

No need. These are self-guided games. Just choose one, go to the starting point (usually a landmark), and you can begin when it suits you.

About the destination

About Florence

Florence rewards the curious. The city that shaped the Renaissance is still full of layers most visitors walk past, and Questo is built for the ones who want to find them. Pick a quest on your phone, step outside, and the city becomes the game.

The Duomo anchors the skyline, but Florence's real character lives in its side streets, across the Ponte Vecchio, and deep in the Oltrarno, the artisan quarter south of the Arno where workshops still outnumber souvenir shops and the pace drops the moment you cross the river.

Quests here range from conspiracy thrillers tracing the Medici dynasty to dark, atmospheric routes through Dante's Florence and missions that pull you into Renaissance intrigues. Whether you want history with suspense, ghost stories with a sense of place, or a playful challenge for a family afternoon, there is a route that fits the mood.

A few things locals know: Piazza Santo Spirito fills with Florentines at aperitivo hour, not tourists, so that is a good place to end a route. Oltrarno stays noticeably quieter than the north bank even in high season. For panoramic views without the midday heat, Piazzale Michelangelo is best at sunrise or just before. Questo suits couples, groups, and families equally, and works well as a flexible anchor for a full day out.

Questo's Florence quests are rated 4.48★ across 538 player reviews. Start when you are ready, pause when you need to, and let Florence show you what it keeps out of the guidebooks.
