No Experience Required

You step off the busy street and a narrow alley pulls you toward the soft murmur of the Arno — the river almost dares you to look up from the map and follow its curve. This self-guided treasure hunt hands you a story: Lorenzo de' Medici needs your help finding the Elixir of Joy. Clues arrive via WhatsApp, and the city becomes a living puzzle of courtyards, workshops, and trattorie.
