Frequently asked questions

Planning a sunset stroll—any romantic twist?

Yes, this is perfect. Start at Fonte dos Leões, walk through the Miragaia district, and chase clues in Romantic Porto: The Love Novel. Narrow alleys, tile façades, river views—all with a love-story vibe. Wrap up near Ponte da Arrábida under the golden hour light.

Will this quest work well for couples wanting something different?

Definitely. This quest combines romance with adventure: solving puzzles about love stories, exploring old fishermen’s district views, and sharing quiet surprises together. It’s more than dinner—it’s an experience you both participate in.

Is this safe and fun for families or older kids?

Yes. The walk uses well-lit, popular areas, and puzzles are gentle—not scary. Kids or teens who like stories will enjoy finding clues. You can stop at cafés, take snack breaks, and pace yourselves comfortably.

Looking for something creative with friends—suggestions?

Gather your besties, pick this quest, and explore Porto’s old town as a team. Compete on some riddles, laugh at silly clues, enjoy views over the river, and maybe finish with port wine or pastel de nata. Great way to see Porto differently.

Do I need to reserve ahead or join a group?

Nope. It’s self-guided. Buy the quest in the Questo app, download it, go to Fonte dos Leões (start point), and begin when it suits you—morning, evening, or sunset. You set the pace.
