About Leuven
|
|
Leuven is
an ancient city in the heart of the Belgian province of Vlaams-Brabant. Its
city hall keeps on impressing tourists and locals alike, its beguinage is a
miracle of medieval cosiness, and the whole city is constructed on a medieval
ground plan.
Leuven
is, as a student city, a favourite party spot for people from all over the
country and beyond! The Oude Markt [Old Market] is universally known
as the "longest bar counter" of Western Europe. Stella Artois,
brewed in Leuven, is being served all over the world. The various cultural
centres have a programme that will appeal to everyone's interest.
Leuven is
the home of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the oldest university of the
low countries and one of the oldest universities worldwide. Many foreign
students find their way to Leuven, and they all are amazed by the cosiness of
Leuven.
Furthermore,
Leuven is situated in the green Brabant hills. Walking in the Meerdaal forest
of the woods of Heverlee, a visit to the Abbey of the Park or to the
Provincial Domain in Kessel-Lo,... All will attract the nature lovers.
