You step through Viru Gate and the city seems to rearrange itself: cobblestones clack underfoot, narrow lanes funnel into squares where spires and streetlamps argue for attention. The scavenger hunt hands you a map and a series of riddles delivered by the World City Trail app; each solved clue nudges you toward the next landmark — Town Hall, St. Olaf’s, the House of the Blackheads — all at your own tempo.
