Introduction

Leuven is a beautiful city, best known for its university, the remarkable architecture, and Stella Artois. It is quite small, and I guess that's why most tourists leave it alone. Indeed, when you only have a few days to spend in Belgium, you better visit Antwerp, Brugge and Brussels. But if you got some more time and you'd like to get away from the big cities, Leuven is a great choice.

Though it is quite small (you can perfectly walk from one interesting place to another), you'll find many shops, café's, restaurants, cultural activities and tourist attractions here. And because of the many students hanging around, nightlife as well is vivid and much fun.

Vince (VPedicino) has described Leuven as followed in his blog: "What a cute little town! It is was what most Americans think of when they think of when they imagine a smallish European city. Cobblestone streets, cafes all over, pigeons, old churches, a beautiful city hall, etc. It was nice." I can not confirm since I'm not an American and basically used to cobblestones, pigeons, old buildings and cafés, but the description is correct allright :)

I've written this blog to unite all the reviews I post about Leuven. I write about the places I like most, but ofcourse there are many more things to see, places to stay, etc. So if you have any special interests or questions, just send me a message!

By the way we had a wonderful February winters day yesterday so I went out with my camera and replaced the previous pics by ones I made myself. Enjoy!
