City 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 still contains a tranquil
medieval atmosphere, and the whole city is constructed on a medieval ground
plan.
Leuven is, as a student city, a favorite 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 centers have a
program 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 cozy atmosphere 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.
