Leuven
Very close to Brussels. You can get thre quite fast if you choose the intercity train.. I chose the local one - that takes a bit longer. It is easy to be mistaken because they leave only with a fiew minutes interwal.
This visit was the first time I visited someone I met on VT. Janu (he is of Portugese origin) kindly offered his time and knowledge and showed me and my friends around. I am sure we would not have seen many of the enchanting corners of the Leuven without him (see the picture).
Very enigmatic city. We even discovered that one of us has a kind of telephaty skills. Erasmus has lived there ...
And I advise to visit the botanical garden. Entrance is free.
