So, grab your walking shoes and let's explore some of Leuven's must-see spots together!

Leuven Town Hall: A Gothic Masterpiece

First stop on our tour is the jaw-dropping Leuven Town Hall. Trust me, you've never seen anything quite like it. This 15th-century building is like a massive wedding cake made of stone, with intricate details that'll make your head spin. Our guide, Sarah, loves to point out the hidden symbols and share the juicy gossip about the historical figures depicted in the statues. It's like a real-life game of "Where's Waldo?" but with Belgian royalty!

St. Peter's Church: A Treasure Trove of Art

Next up, we'll pop into St. Peter's Church. Now, I know what you're thinking - "Another church?" But hear me out. This isn't just any church. It's home to some of the most stunning artwork you'll ever lay eyes on. The "Last Supper" by Dirk Bouts is a particular favorite. Our guide, Tom, always gets a kick out of telling the story of how this masterpiece was once stolen and then dramatically recovered. It's like something straight out of a Hollywood heist movie!

Old Market Square: The Longest Bar in Europe

Feeling thirsty after all that sightseeing? You're in luck! We'll head to the Old Market Square, affectionately known as "the longest bar in Europe." With over 40 bars and cafes lining the square, it's a beer lover's paradise. Our resident beer expert, Lisa, can guide you through the dizzying array of Belgian brews. Just remember, pace yourself - we've still got more to see!

University Library and Tower: A Phoenix Rising from the Ashes

No visit to Leuven is complete without a trip to the University Library and Tower. This place has more lives than a cat! Destroyed in both World Wars and rebuilt each time, it's a testament to Leuven's resilience. If you're up for a bit of a workout, climb the 300 steps to the top of the tower. The view is absolutely worth the burn in your calves, I promise!

Groot Begijnhof: A Step Back in Time

Last but certainly not least, we'll wander through the Groot Begijnhof. This place is like stepping into a fairytale. Picture this: narrow cobblestone streets, quaint houses with red-tiled roofs, and blooming gardens at every turn. It's so picturesque, you'll be reaching for your camera every few steps. Our guide, Emma, loves to share the fascinating history of the Beguines who once lived here. It's a story of independent women way ahead of their time!
