Leuven
4 things to see
Leuven is a compact university town in Belgium where the large student population keeps drink prices competitive and the atmosphere lively. The old center, with its extravagant Gothic town hall and the squares around it, is free to wander on foot. It sits a short, cheap train ride from Brussels, so it works well as a quieter and more affordable base or day trip.
