About Leuven

Leuven welcomes you with lively squares, impressive heritage sites, and cozy spots to enjoy. In this university town, centuries-old stories and modern life go hand in hand. Behind historic facades, you’ll discover art and culture, while terraces, gardens, and parks invite you to slow down for a moment.

From the Grote Markt to the University Library and the green Botanical Garden: in 48 hours, you can experience Leuven at your own pace.

The historic heart of Leuven

On the Grote Markt, the richly decorated town hall immediately catches the eye. Statues, turrets, and intricate details make the facade a sight to behold in its own right. Together with St. Peter’s Church, it provides a unique backdrop for life on the square.

In the surrounding streets, you’ll discover shops, charming buildings, and cozy cafés. On the Oude Markt, the many outdoor patios create a lively atmosphere. Take some time for a coffee or lunch and enjoy a city where people love to gather.

Culture and University Life

University life gives Leuven its own unique energy. Historic colleges and squares are part of a city where students, residents, and visitors come together. On Ladeuzeplein, the University Library, with its striking tower, is a recognizable feature of the cityscape.

Art also takes center stage. At M Leuven, old and contemporary art come together, and the works invite you to see things differently. Combine a cultural discovery with a visit to a sidewalk café or a delicious meal. This way, new impressions and moments of relaxation naturally alternate.

Green Spaces and Local Flavors

Amid the bustling streets, you’ll also find peace and quiet. In the Kruidtuin, flowers, plants, and trees set a different pace. The Groot Begijnhof, in turn, showcases a charming side of Leuven, with historic brick houses, narrow streets, and the Dijle River flowing through the area.

Leuven’s lively atmosphere is also defined by its rich beer tradition. In cafés and restaurants, you’ll discover local flavors and find time to dine together. Whether you opt for a full-course dinner, a local beer, or coffee with something sweet: enjoyment is part of your stay.

Leuven brings culture and a warm, welcoming atmosphere together in a city full of character. In 48 hours, you’ll get to know its heritage, soak up the atmosphere, and discover places where you’ll want to linger a little longer. Choose the sights and moments of relaxation that suit you best, and tailor your stay to your accessibility needs. That way, you can enjoy Leuven at your own pace.

Your Carefree 48-Hour Experience in Leuven


Planning a city trip with special needs isn’t always easy. Information is often available—
