What to do and see in Leuven, Flanders: The Best Museums
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.

Sometimes I think when people visit Belgium, they hit Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp, and Brussels, but Leuven gets ignored. This museum was really great. It was one of my favorite museums I visited in Belgium (and I visited many). There was a lot of variety in the types of art represented and there were some really interesting exhibits. The museum is very kid-friendly, too. I don't have kids, but I like how accessible the museum tries to make art for the younger generation. One piece of art I saw at this museum was a sculpture of The Prodigal Son. It moved me to tears. The audio guide they provide is also great, and mine was programmed in English. It really supplemented my experience. It took me about two hours to get through everything. Well worth it.
