What to expect
Leuven Train Station
This is where you meet your guide and start your tour into the city centre.
See the Great Market Square of Leuven, the city's busiest square. A tour of the city cannot skip this highlight.
See the famous Saint Peter's Church of Leuven, the most noteworthy building on the square. The first church on this site dates from just before the year 1000. The church you see now was built in the 15th century and reaches 93 meters high.
Of course, you will not skip the old town hall. This is a typical gothic building, straight from the 15th century too. The building does not function as town hall anymore nowadays, but it is still used for ceremonial purposes.
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
You will get a glimpse of the university of Leuven, the institute that keeps Leuven young and dynamic. This is even the largest university of the Benelux!
Oude Markt Leuven
Don't forget the Old Market Square. This square might be even more picturesque than the other one. For Belgians, it is mostly known for the yearly Leuven fun fair organised here. Now you can have a drink here and admire the facades surrounding this square.
Tafelrond - The Fourth
And we will see the Tafelrond (around the table). This former Belgian central bank building also dates from the 15th century and has become an icon of the city. It has its name thanks to the meetings organised here.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
