Leuven is a versatile city. On the one hand, it has a centuries-old cultural heritage: the university is the oldest in the country and numerous Gothic buildings testify to its former importance. On the other hand, it is precisely this heritage, the university, that brings young people to the city in large numbers. They create an exciting, innovative atmosphere.

By far the most iconic landmark of Leuven: the town hall. The late Gothic building from the 15th century is completely decorated with playful stone statues and colorful flags. The facade is a Leuven hall of fame with 236 (!) statues. Each of them represents a personality who has earned a place of honor in the history of the city.

Here you will also find numerous restaurants and cafés with large terraces - perfect for a bite to eat or to round off a day out.

Leuven's Grote Markt is one of the oldest and most historic places in the city. The square has existed in its current form since the 14th century, when the Catholic University of Leuven was founded. Most of the buildings on the square were built in Brabant Gothic, including the monumental town hall. Other notable buildings on the Grote Markt are the Tafelrond and the Collegiate St. Peter's Church. The square is a busy tourist spot in Leuven, but is traffic-free.
