BulevAR: Connecting People and Encouraging Cultural Exploration

BulevAR is a digital tool designed to bridge the twin cities of Nova Gorica and Gorizia. It invites users to immerse themselves in the cultural landscape by visiting historical sites, attending events, and participating in interactive challenges. By blending technology with human interaction, the app promotes engagement and rewards curiosity.

Access BulevAR at bulevar.eu.

Earning Rewards Through Cultural Discovery

The app allows users to collect "sparkles," virtual points earned by visiting key locations of the European Capital of Culture, attending selected events, and completing various challenges. These sparkles can be exchanged for rewards offered by businesses on both sides of the border, encouraging further exploration and strengthening cross-border ties.

Users can earn sparkles at well-known landmarks such as: Trg Evrope, Rafut Park, Gorizia Castle, Coronini Cronberg Palace.

Additional points can be collected through challenges like taking photos at major landmarks, greeting both cities from above, or standing in two countries simultaneously.

Opportunities for Local Businesses

BulevAR also serves as a promotional tool for local businesses. Restaurants, retailers, beauticians, florists, and service providers can showcase their offerings to GO! 2025 visitors, attracting new customers and fostering cross-border commerce. Over 30 businesses have already joined, with new providers able to register at join.bulevar.eu throughout 2025.
