Qula City Trail Turns Leiden Into an Interactive Self-Guided Adventure

A new self-guided experience in Leiden is offering visitors a flexible and interactive way to explore the city through the Qula City Trail. Designed for small groups, the activity combines sightseeing with digital challenges, allowing participants to discover landmarks while solving riddles on their smartphones.

The experience takes players through historic streets, well-known attractions, and lesser-visited corners of the city. By completing assignments and puzzles along the route, groups can earn points while learning about Leiden’s cultural and historical highlights in an engaging format.

Unlike traditional guided tours, the trail operates without fixed schedules or reservations. Participants can begin at any time, pause when needed, and continue at their own pace, making it suitable for both short visits and extended exploration. The activity is also available in multiple languages, catering to international travelers.

After booking, users receive access instructions and a starting point via email, allowing them to begin the experience independently. The app is compatible with both Android and iOS devices and is designed to be accessible for wheelchairs and strollers, ensuring a wide range of visitors can enjoy the city adventure comfortably.
