What to do and see in Leuven, Flanders: The Best Food & Drink

November 20, 2021 Rebbecca Marino

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!

Because of the centuries-long presence of both the brewery Artois and its student life, Louvain is also called the beer capital of Flanders/Belgium. During this fascinating historic beer walk you discover an other side of the city, with its many small local breweries and its fine craft beers.

Stella Artois Brewery

Reviewed By V3078YRscottd

Really enjoyed the Stella Factory tour. Very informative about the history of Stella and other beers that are brewed there. Even better is that you end up in a bar at the end to sample the beer!

8. Brouwerij De Coureur

Borstelsstraat 20 Bus 1, Leuven 3010 Belgium +32 485 17 86 95 [email protected] http://www.brouwerijdecoureur.be

Brewer Bart loves to share his passion for beer. In the taproom everyone is welcome to enjoy a fresh, tasteful beer with a hoppy chat. Whether it’s one of the regular beers or a rotating drink, there will be a beer for everyone’s taste. The location is a hidden gem outside of Leuven city center, nice to combine with a walk near the Vlierbeek Abbey. LIFE IS BREWTIFUL
