Other Information

Leuven's rich history can be read from Leuven's street names, and from the dozens of historical university buildings. The medieval Cloth Hall, near the famous Gothic Town Hall, is the university's policy centre. The beautifully restored Main Beguinage houses students and visiting professors. And the numerous old colleges and halls of residence give Leuven its stylish face of a university town with a tradition.

Home to more than 3,000 castles, Belgium offers more than a feast for the eyes — the country brews more than 350 delicious beers and it's hard to find chocolates as good!
