Become a recruit of a secret order sworn to protect Vienna and pass your final test in this self-guided exploration game. Encrypted clues lead you from the Rathaus past the Hofburg, St Stephen's Cathedral and the State Opera to Karlskirche, through the grand streets of a city long caught between East and West.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 5 km and takes around 2 hours, with no time limit.

Are you ready to prove you are worthy of becoming a Protector of Vienna?
