The city has secrets

No guide droning on, no dull tour. Just Mechelen, a stack of riddles and a team with its eyes wide open.

1

Open your eyes

Every answer is hiding somewhere around you. A detail on a façade, a plaque, a corner nobody looks at. You walked past it a hundred times without ever seeing it.

2

Famous spots and hidden ones

Landmarks, statues, historic buildings, street art, tucked-away alleys. The route takes you wherever Mechelen has a story to tell.

3

The city behind the postcard

Each stop comes with a fun fact. Not the big History from textbooks, but the small stories that give Mechelen its charm. The ones you will bring up at your next dinner party.

4

A challenge between teammates

Riddles and missions keep coming. Who will take on the most, and above all, who will crack them? One thing is certain: after this, you will never see Mechelen the same way again.

What Mechelen is hiding

Four playgrounds waiting for you along the route. Flip a card to find out where to look.

Mechelen, one riddle at a time

4 km on foot, 24 places along the way. You may know these streets. You have never looked at them like this.
