Leuven is a lovely old town with lots of things to see. The market was very nice. Many young people since there are several international universities in the area. The night life is full of college students.

The city of Leuven is fantastic. Wonderfully friendly people. Save money by going to the information office where you can buy a discount ticket for the City Hall tour, museum and university library which is a must see.
