COVID-SPECIAL – Travel local! – 17 August 2020

Not one art city is like the others. They all combine a rich history and a contemporary buzz, yet all in their own unique way. In Leuven, everyday life is intertwined with the university. Since many centuries, the art city near Brussels has been a mix of old and new, tradition and innovation, hometown of brewers, scientists and artists. Some will compare Leuven with the German university town of Heidelberg because it also has its campuses spread out all over. For beer lovers, Leuven is the home of Stella. And for me, it has become ”home” for more than half of my life.

I bet that Leuven will make you feel welcome, just as it did to me so many years ago!
