What to do and see in Leuven, Flanders: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

October 19, 2021 Tonie Szymanski

The old Burgundian university town of Leuven offers a range of adventures for overnight visitors or day-trippers from Bruges and Brussels. Tourists will find everything from gastronomic tours to architectural gems like the Gothic Town Hall. Nature lovers won’t be disappointed. The Kruidtuin Botanical Garden’s herbal gardens are the oldest in Belgium, and Heverleebos, a “city wood,” offers a respite for urban dwellers. The exploring is easy in Leuven, on foot or on one of the ubiquitous bikes.

Leuven Leisure

Leuven Leisure is a new tour guide company situated in the historic heart of Leuven. We believe that discovering the city should be just as easy as fun. That's why we organise weekly scheduled walks, bicycle tours and other guided activities such as team buildings, pub tastings and brewery visits. And there's no need to register to participate - however it is advisable since places are limited. It makes us unique in Leuven. Apart from that we also offer groups the usual possibility of a customized tour, year round. Leuven Leisure wants to show you the city through new spectacles. There's so much to discover that often you don't know where to look first. We always start from a fun theme and tell you about the past and the future to understand the present. Moreover, a Leuven Walk is more interactive than the average guided city walk: your input is much appreciated. We know the way, but the road we take together, in a relaxing way. There's always time for question-asking and picture-taking. Our guides are interesting locals with superb knowledge of the city. Their talent and motivation guarantee great Leuven Walks, time after time. We also offer a bike rental service so that you can discover the city independently. With her original approach, our team wants to fulfill your expectations to the highest measure. See you in Leuven!

This was great fun! A very cleverly planned room that doesn't have the frills of a storyline, rather just lots of pure puzzling pleasure. We really enjoyed this one. We will be back to try the other rooms!

This is one of my favourite spots in Leuven.You can enjoy the splendid architecture, the hundreds magnificent statues decorating the walls of the building in the soft lights of the Winter garden,that gets constructed every year during December and stays on until.the beginning of January. I had the pleasure to enter the building 5 years ago while attending a wedding ceremony.
