Mantua, a lesser-known yet surprisingly delightful city in Italy, is an ideal destination for a day trip or weekend exploration. Its compact size and charming blend of land and water lend it an 'amphibious' allure. While the vast Ducal Palace, housing Mantegna's masterpiece, and the grand Basilica of Sant'Andrea, with its Holy Grail relic, are popular attractions, there's much more to discover.
Venture beyond the well-trodden path and you'll uncover a trove of hidden gems and curiosities often overlooked by travellers. However, these won’t be found on a standard city map or through a guided group tour. This is where the self-guided puzzle trail comes into play. Designed for those seeking a novel way to explore both renowned and obscure sites, this interactive experience will lead you through secret passages still in use, a library-vault, and even introduce you to history's first 'influencer'. It's akin to an urban treasure hunt, with clues to be discovered independently.
But beware: only by solving all the puzzles encountered along the journey can you unveil the concealed secrets of Virgil's city. Whether you're curious explorers, mystery enthusiasts, couples in search of fun activities, or friends on an urban adventure, this puzzle trail offers a fresh and engaging perspective of the city.
