Travel Itinerary

Start your day with a cultural dive into M Leuven, the city's main art museum. Its collection spans from medieval to contemporary art, with a strong focus on Leuven's heritage and Brabant masters, offering a comprehensive look at the region's artistic legacy.

Enjoy a peaceful stroll through the Kruidtuin, Belgium's oldest botanical garden. Established in 1738 for the university's medical faculty, it now houses a diverse collection of plants, greenhouses, and a lovely pond, perfect for a moment of tranquility.

Savor a delicious authentic Belgian waffle for lunch or a substantial snack. Whether you prefer a Brussels waffle (lighter, crispier) or a Liège waffle (denser, chewier, with pearl sugar), it's a must-try culinary experience.

Take a leisurely walk along the banks of the Dijle River, which winds through the city. Discover picturesque spots, charming bridges, and keep an eye out for hidden street art and murals that add character to Leuven's urban landscape.

While full tours require booking, you can observe the iconic Stella Artois Brewery from the outside and appreciate its significant role in Leuven's brewing heritage. Learn about its history and impact on Belgian beer culture, perhaps followed by a Stella at a nearby pub.

Conclude your culinary exploration with a classic Belgian dinner: 'Moules-Frites' (mussels with fries). Find a traditional brasserie or restaurant to savor this iconic dish, often accompanied by a crisp Belgian beer. De Hoorn is a historic brewery now converted into a restaurant.
