Leuven lies at the edge of Flanders and Wallonia and thus at the language border.

In its early history, the river Dijle used to be the border between the teritory of the Nerviers and the Eburons.
At the time of the Roman Empire, the road from Aaken to Beauvais, crossed the Dijle river here.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Beautiful city, largest beer bar in the world, great history & architecture
  • Cons:Always take the weather with you
  • In a nutshell:Most enjoyable when sunny weather, city of students and people who love a drink and a walk

    You have so many pages on places in Belgium, I found it difficult to decide where to start, but think I made the right choice ;-)

    'Biggest Beer Bar in the world' got me interested, but the architecture of the City Hall and Big Bequinage had be spellbound ... thanks for a great virtual tour Dannie.
