Descubra Lyon numa aventura gamificada

France's undisputed food capital has another layer most visitors miss: a city built on secrets, stories, and steep hills that reward the curious. Questo brings that layer to the surface through 5 self-guided city quests you play on your phone, following clues and solving puzzles at your own pace, with no guide and no fixed start time.

Lyon's character runs deep. Vieux-Lyon packs Renaissance courtyards and pink-stone facades into streets that slope toward the Saone. Croix-Rousse, once the heart of the silk trade, still feels village-like and slightly apart from the rest of the city. Threading through both neighbourhoods are the traboules, narrow passageways cutting through buildings and courtyards, many still in daily use by residents. Push open an unmarked door and you may step through four buildings before emerging on a different street entirely.

Quests here cover different moods: a ghostly nighttime hunt through the old town, a WWII thriller set in the wartime streets, a neighbourhood exploration of Croix-Rousse, and a climb up Fourviere Hill past Roman remains and city panoramas. They pass landmarks including Tour Rose, Fresque des Lyonnais, and the cathedral of Saint Jean Baptiste.

A few local details worth knowing: the Croix-Rousse market runs daily except Monday along Boulevard de la Croix-Rousse and focuses on local producers. For dinner, the "Les Bouchons Lyonnais" label displayed at a restaurant entrance marks an officially certified traditional bouchon, the real thing. Questo suits couples, families, and groups who want to read the city rather than just look at it.
