The urban adventure route through your own city
5 h€ 20 Active
Discover the hidden gems of your city on a day filled with alleyways, photo challenges, and unexpected encounters.
Your city is full of surprises you've never consciously noticed. Start with a mysterious walk through unknown alleyways and hidden courtyards, with a self-chosen playlist that puts you in an adventurous mood. Maybe you'll meet a local artist or discover a small cafe that serves the best latte in the city.
Turn it into a game. Take on the photography challenge: photograph five objects that fascinate you within fifteen minutes and learn to look at your surroundings differently. Treat yourself to a short picnic in an unexpected spot and take a moment to soak in the city. Wrap up with a conversation with a curious stranger or a small neighbourhood workshop, and head home with new stories and inspiration.
