Discover Leuven
Centrally located in Belgium and completely unique: that's Leuven.
The centuries-old university city with its historic buildings is very much in tune with the 21st century. Leuven has a young dynamic and is bursting with initiatives. This can-do city is a breeding ground for innovation: spin-offs from the internationally renowned university, unexpected collaborations and projects where science, art, culture and society converge.
In the pedestrian streets and spacious squares, students help set the pace and atmosphere, while shops, cafés and restaurants provide conviviality and gastronomy, beer flows and ideas sparkle.
Leuven is a city on a human scale, surrounded by green hills that allow the city to breathe. With a rich and full cultural offering, Leuven is worth visiting all year round.
