Leuven Vacation Guide

Leuven is one of the most important academic cities in Flanders, and the capital of the province of Vlaams-Brabant. The town was founded in the 10th century, but it was not until the 12th century that it became economically important. Many architectural masterpieces were constructed during the following years, and therefore Leuven has plenty of squares, churches and other interesting architectural work to offer. The university library on the Ladeuzeplein is a gorgeous ancient building. Inbev, former Interbrew, and one of the largest beer brewers in the world, has its offices here. That makes Leuven not only the home town for many students (and there bicycles), but the hometown of Stella-Artois as well. The charm of the town is that it's small and friendly, but due to the universities equally vivid and young. Thursday is THE party night in Leuven and you can get drunk for little money. In the facbars, you can get a Stella for 1 euro or less. The prices are adapted to the budget of the students. Almost every university curriculum has its own bar.
