Mantua - The city of secret passages
Among the lesser-known but most surprising cities in Italy can only be Mantua. Its small size and “amphibious” nature, which allows it to experience a magical combination of land and water, make it the perfect destination for a day trip or a weekend of discovery.
Most tourists focus on the main attractions, such as the boundless Ducal Palace with Mantegna's masterpiece or the majestic Basilica of Sant'Andrea with its Holy Grail relic, but you can go much deeper than that!
You will gain access to secret passages still in use, meet the first “influencer” in history, and discover a library filled with such treasures that it houses a real vault.
During your ClueGo trail you will not only discover the wonders and treasures known to all, but also - and most importantly - the secrets and curiosities that only (a few) locals know, making you experience Mantova in a unique light.
Be careful, though, because to unlock these secrets you will have to solve all the riddles you encounter along the way!
