Van Bergen IJzendoornpark

Discover this beautiful historic city park in Gouda, full of winding paths and monumental trees. As you solve clues, you’ll explore this unique green location in English landscape style.

Lazarus Gate

The Lazarus Gate is one of Gouda’s oldest and most hidden gates, dating back to the Middle Ages. Once the entrance to a leper colony, it serves as a reminder of a turbulent piece of city history that most visitors simply walk past.

Goudse Waag

The Goudse Waag stands prominently on the Market Square and was built in 1668 as a weighing house for cheese and other goods. The building is one of the finest examples of Dutch Renaissance architecture in the Netherlands.

Super leuke city escape met een interessant historisch verhaal! Een mooie route door de stad met leuke puzzels. Zelfs als je de stad al kent is het een aanrader. De pauzeknop is ook ideaal, waardoor we tussendoor lekker konden lunchen. Al met al erg leuk!

Het was heel leuk om op een andere manier door de stad te lopen. Ook al kenden we de stad al, zagen en leerden we toch weer meer door de puzzels en het verhaal. Ik ben benieuwd naar de andere City Escapes :)
