The cobbles of Leuven click underfoot as the city becomes a board and your phone, the controller. You step beneath the university towers, past cafes spilling conversation into the Oude Markt, and the quest app draws you toward riddles carved into public sculpture and the quiet wink of a cat-shaped spout. The narrative frames the streets as contested ground—machines at the edges, human curiosity in the center—and it nudges you to move, look, and think.

History
Leuven grew as a medieval market town and later became an academic center around KU Leuven; the University Library was destroyed in WWI and rebuilt with international assistance, shaping much of the city’s 20th-century identity.
Conservation
High foot traffic concentrates on historic cobbles and green pockets—stick to paths, avoid littering, and support local businesses rather than disrupting fragile sites.
