Gems of Universiteitsbuurt: From Scholarly Tapestries to Sacred Art
Antwerp’s secrets hide behind humble brick facades and shadowy alleyways, where centuries-old rebellions once left their mark on quiet squares. A self-guided audio tour through these tangled streets reveals what guidebooks never mention—the forbidden meetings, dramatic rescues, and unexpected alliances that shaped a restless city. Who risked their life to smuggle Protestant worshippers through candlelit tunnels? What priceless artwork vanished when foreign soldiers stormed St. Catherine’s Church at midnight? Why did a 19th-century university nearly spark scandal over coffee and philosophy? Trace the clash of hidden faith and open rebellion as you glide from academic courtyards buzzing with debate to churches that once hid whole communities. Stand where towers crashed, secrets changed hands, and hope flickered like lantern light across Antwerp’s history. The city keeps its best stories for those willing to listen—begin your journey and unlock what lies beneath the surface.
