Private Leuven Tour from Brussels | Points of Interest & Landmarks
The first stop would be at the Leuven Museum. A museum that combines contemporary art with nineteenth-century art. A mix of collections from yesterday and today. It has an indoor garden and a panoramic terrace with a breathtaking view of the city. Keep in mind that the balcony is closed during the winter.
To seal the visit to Leuven Museum, we enter the Sint-Pierters-Kerk to admire the famous painting “Altarpiece of the Holy Sacrament”. By the Dutch painter Dirk Bouts, a work that has always been exhibited in the same place.
Afterwards, we will walk around the Town Hall. With its typical Flemish houses and cobbled streets, all beautiful.
Pass through the Grand Place or Grote Mark. It is not a huge place, but very iconic with its typical houses, taverns and Flemish restaurants. From this place, the Fountain of Wisdom deserves a mention, a greatly appreciated representation of human knowledge.
What to expect then?
Then we visit the most important and emblematic place in Leuven: the Leuven’s Library or Bibliotheektoren. This place was destroyed by the Germans during the two World Wars, and it is one of the symbols of the Flemish Renaissance. The library and especially the reading room seem straight out from the Harry Potter universe. More than a million books are stored here.
A small attraction is the 60-bells carillon in the library tower. Don’t miss the chance to climb to the top of the tower for a panoramic view of the city.
Around the University of Leuven is located the Grand Beguinage. It is known as the university campus. A great place with its narrow streets, squares, gardens and traditional brick houses.
Other places worth discovering in this short 2-hour tour through Leuven are: Universiteits-Hal, Dijle-Eend and the Sint-Antonius-Kapel.
And finally, the Oude Markt, a spot full of restaurants and bars, where you will surely want to stop and delight a local dish or a refreshing Belgian beer to finish the tour with the official guide and before returning to Brussels, either by private car or train.
