Description
In this guided visit of Leuven, one of the main university cities in Belgium, we will contemplate the great jewels of the Gothic Brabantine style in this Flemish city.
We will start our guided visit of Leuven at Martelarenplein square, located in front of the train station.
Leuven, located in the province of Flemish Brabant, is one of Belgium's leading university cities. We will discover the history of its prestigious teaching institution at the University Library Square, whose bell tower is one of the symbols of the town. We will also pass by other iconic monumental buildings, such as the Rectorate of the Pedagogical Faculty.
We will continue our tour in front of the famous Fountain of Wisdom, located next to the Grote Markt. In this central square we will contemplate the façade of the Leuven City Hall, a true masterpiece of the Gothic style of Leuven. Just in front of the town hall we will also see the exterior details of St. Peter's Cathedral.
The next stop will take place at the Oude Markt square, considered "the biggest bar in the world" due to its large number of bars and restaurants. Then we will pass by the church of St. Michael and the chapel of St. Anthony, which houses the tomb of Father Damien. Do you know why this character is so popular? We will find out!
