In 1425, students arrived in Leuven to attend the newly-founded Katholieke Universiteit. Nearly six centuries later, their presence still energizes the city. Just 25 kilometres from Brussels by train, Leuven is an easy day trip, so immerse yourself in medieval history and Flemish culture, stroll the streets packed with students, and enjoy quintessential Belgian specialities: french fries, chocolate and beer.

Book a private Leuven tour and explore this Belgian city with a local guide.

Meet your guide at the 15th century Town Hall to find out why 236 statutes were added centuries later, then head to the university grounds, passing through the <i>Beguinage</i>. Don't miss the crypt in St. Peter's church, built in the 11th century but only discovered during post-war restoration.

Ready to replenish your energy? Our guides can organize a tailor-made tour that caters to your tastebuds. Snack on Belgian <i>frites</i>, savour melt-in-your-mouth chocolate…and, of course, drink Stella Artois.
