The herb garden Leuven, the oldest botanic garden in Belgium. The Botanical Garden of Leuven is officially called the "Hortus Botanicus Lovaniensis"
As a residence city of the Counts of Leuven, the square was granted market law in 1150, which led to economic activities being developed. Markets were held up to three times a week.
The city of Leuven was not only the seat of three successive universities, but also of some prestigious university libraries. The University Library on leuven's Ladeuzeplein is a beautiful piece of heritage!
The brewery of Stella Artois, part of the largest brewery group in the world AB InBev, is still firmly rooted in its home city of Leuven
The St. Peter's Church is located in the heart of Leuven. It was built in 986, in Romanesque style, making it the oldest church in the city.
The Klein Begijnhof was first mentioned in 1272. The district consisted of a street and two cul-de-sacs where women who served in the nearby Sint-Geertruiabdij lived.
The former abbey church Sint-Geertrui is one of the five medieval parish churches in Leuven, located outside the first city wall between the Dijle and the Mechelsestraat
Paying a visit to the Oude Markt is like pulling up a chair at the longest bar in Europe, because nowhere else can you find as many catering establishments in one place as on this unique square
Around 1440 the construction of the church began. The church consists of 3 beeches, 2 strongly protruding transepts with blind longitunical walls, a choir with a heptagonal absis,
The city of Leuven in the former Duchy of Brabant was and has been the seat of three different universities almost continuously since 1425

We had a great time. Hard to start up for a while.
Fijn om te horen dat jullie je goed hebben geamuseerd! 😊 Jammer dat het opstarten even lastig was, maar goed om te weten dat het daarna wel een leuke ervaring was. Bedankt voor de feedback die nemen we zeker mee om het nog duidelijker en makkelijker te maken!
A 'known' city and still discovered hidden places, what is so nice about these city trips! We are ready for another discovery
Wat leuk om te lezen! Zelfs in een bekende stad nog nieuwe, verborgen plekjes ontdekken — dat is precies wat deze city trips zo bijzonder maakt. Fantastisch dat jullie er weer zo van hebben genoten en al uitkijken naar de volgende ontdekking. Jullie zijn van harte welkom! 😊
We went to places we would never have visited without the treasure hunt. Beautiful places of the city seen! Very nice!
"Wat geweldig om te horen dat jullie nieuwe plekken in de stad hebben ontdekt dankzij de speurtocht! We zijn blij dat jullie het leuk vonden en dat het jullie heeft geholpen om de stad vanuit een ander perspectief te zien. Hopelijk kunnen we jullie binnenkort weer verwelkomen voor een nieuwe avontuur!"
We did a Qula scavenger hunt in Leuven that pleasantly surprised us. You'll get to places and nooks you'd never do otherwise. There is also a bit of competition in it that makes it even more challenging.
Wat fijn om te horen dat de Qula-speurtocht in Leuven zo’n positieve verrassing was! Het is geweldig dat jullie nieuwe plekjes hebben ontdekt en genoten van de uitdaging. We hopen jullie snel weer te mogen verwelkomen voor een nieuwe speurtocht!"
We had a very nice day with the Qula search. We went to places that you would otherwise never visit when visiting a city. The search for the solution of the assignments, also caused challenges and gave rise to some competitive spirit.
Bedankt voor de review Chris. Wat moi dat jullie een leuke dag hadden met de Qula zoektocht.
Beautiful new places discovered in Leuven! Nice, interesting quiz questions... Was already the 3rd Qula we played, highly recommended :-)
Wat leuk om te horen, bedankt! Leuven is ook een erg leuke stad voor een speurtocht.
Quala tour stands for surprising and interesting. You get to know the city at your own pace. You will visit the most famous places (large market, town hall) but also small interesting places (old fish market, Damien church) where you would not otherwise visit. This combined with fun facts about the place. The facts and history are short and sweet. Which doesn't seem like a long history tour about the city. In the meantime, you can plan your own rest or visit nice shops that you encounter along the way. Highly recommended to get to know the city in half a day.
Dank je wel voor deze sublieme uitleg van wat een Qula Trail is. We werken elke dag hard aan de leukste e-speurtochten door de stad.
Pleasant way to walk around the sights of a city. Also fun for (older) children to follow and participate. Clear instructions. (And in Leuven memories of the student days come back after so many years)
Wat leuk dat de herinneringen aan de studententijd weer terug kwamen. Een Qula Trail is heel geschikt voor (oudere) kinderen, steken ze ook nog wat van op.
This city walk is a very nice way to discover Leuven. Enough space to stop at a terrace of your choice.
Je mag inderdaad zolang over deze activiteit doen als je zelf wilt, hartelijk dank!
Very fun activity to do with older children, you immediately see the beautiful places in the city and are still active. And if you make two teams, in our case boys against girls, you also get a bit of competition. The game is well and clearly put together!
Leuke stad Leuven hé! En nu zijn wij nieuwsgierig of het team met de meisjes of de jongens hebben gewonnen.
