Itinerary
Starting at the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca in central Vitoria-Gasteiz, enter your 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message into the free Explorial app and begin a self-guided trail through the city's historic heart. At the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca — the city's main square, famous for its monument to the 1813 Battle of Vitoria — challenges explore the square's architecture and the battle that changed the course of the Napoleonic Wars. The trail leads into the old town to La Catedral de Santa María, a restored Gothic cathedral with towers offering views across the city — questions here probe the centuries of construction and the painstaking restoration process. At the Palacio Escoriaza-Esquivel, a Renaissance palace with a plateresque doorway, you'll tackle riddles about its remarkable survival and the family that built it. The full trail takes around two hours at your own pace, with no guide and no fixed start time.
