A virtual assistant, through advanced technologies such as beacons, geofences, QR codes, will accompany you from the streets to the parks, from the monuments to the interior of museums, providing you with a wide range of possibilities: receiving information tailored to your preferences, organizing visiting itineraries, and participating in events of your interest or interactive gamification.
