Leuven
Leuven may be small, but the city is brimming with attractions. Of course, there is the stately KU Leuven (the oldest university in the Low Countries), whose infrastructure includes the monumental library and the enchanting Arenberg Castle.
Hand in hand with its student life, Leuven boasts a rich café culture: popularly known as the Longest Bar in Europe. Of course, the presence of the Stella brewery is also an asset in this respect. Leuven also has a lot to offer on a more refined culinary level. Want to take a break? Of course you can do that during a walk through the Small or the Large Beguinage.
