The BulevAR app
The BulevAR app, developed by Arctur, adds an extra layer of excitement for those exploring the two cities. It invites visitors and residents alike to discover local attractions, events and challenges while earning virtual points—called “sparks of friendship.” Collect points by visiting cultural venues, taking part in events and completing fun challenges, such as snapping photos with friends at iconic locations or standing in two countries at once.
The app’s virtual points can be redeemed for rewards at over 30 participating businesses on both sides of the border, promoting local commerce and encouraging cross-border habits. From restaurateurs to florists and beauticians, businesses on both sides of the border are presented with the opportunity to engage new customers and showcase their services.
In addition to its gamified elements, the BulevAR app provides users with an engaging way to learn about the history, iconic figures, and creative achievements that have shaped the identity of Nova Gorica and Gorizia.
Both apps offer an innovative, interactive approach to experiencing GO! 2025. Stay connected, explore, and make the most of the cross-border cultural journey ahead.
