Leuven Top 5 Things

Leuven is the place to quench your thirst. Whether you’re looking to quench your thirst for knowledge or just your thirst, Leuven is the ideal place. This youthful town is home to one of Europe’s oldest universities, and history is ever present. A few lucky students and faculty even have the distinct privilege of living in the 13th century stone beguinage selected as a world heritage site by UNESCO. And where there are students... there is beer, and Leuven is Belgium’s reigning brew capital – no mean feat in a country that produces hundreds of delicious varieties. Leuven is the headquarters of Inbev, the largest brewery in the world, famous for Stella Artois beer. Centuries of Flemish tradition and craftsmanship lie behind Leuven’s premium brews.
