Leuven / Louvain

Centuries Old - Alive and Kicking !

Leuven at dusk
as for the above title : "Leuven : Eeuwenoud - Springlevend" is the (Dutch) official motto of the city of Leuven. And it's true - Leuven is a historic, fascinating and bustling little town not too far from Brussels, and well worth a visit. Have a look and judge for yourself :)
If you have any questions or plan on visiting, don't hesitate to e-mail me - I will do the best I can to help you.

Pros:"A nice historic town, conveniently/ centrally located in Belgium - the crossroads of Europe ..."
Cons:"Maybe not as many sights to see as, say, Brussels or Bruges, but then again these cities aren't far away ..."
In A Nutshell:"Often overlooked but well worth a visit if you're staying in Belgium."

 I have enjoyed your photographs of Leuven, which I visited last autumn on the quest for some papers of Husserl. Thank you! D.L. Pughe University of Iowa
