During the school year the city is bustling with students attending the Catholic University of Leuven, one of the most prestigious in Europe. In spring and summer, on the other hand, the city becomes very quiet and it is the ideal time to discover its hidden secrets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-great-beguinage\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Great-Beguinage\"><\/span>1. Great Beguinage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Great Beguinage is a complex of 3 hectares and 100 houses located on the banks of the river Dijle where in the 13th century orphan girls and widowed women lived. Today it is used as a student residence and resembles a small town with its own gardens and squares. The Great Beguinage is considered a World Heritage Site as it is a really beautiful place that fills with flowers in spring. Access is free, and you can walk through the streets whenever you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div

id=\"2-The-University-Library\"><\/span>2. The University Library<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The University Library is one of Leuven&#8217;s most beautiful and historic buildings. After being razed to the ground by fire during World War I, it was rebuilt with American help in the Flemish style. You can visit the inside of the building from Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 19:00 and on weekends from 10:00 to 17:00. Entrance to the tower costs 7\u20ac and includes an audio guide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"m-museum\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-M-Museum\"><\/span>3. M-Museum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The M-Museum is one of the most striking sights to see in Leuven, as its building combines the best of classical and contemporary architecture. From its terrace the views are spectacular and inside the museum you can see works of painting and sculpture ranging from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. The museum is open every day from 11:00h to 18:00h, except on Thursdays when it is open until 10:00h at night and on Wednesdays when it is closed. Tickets cost \u20ac12 and can also be purchased online in advance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"town-hall-the-most-spectacular-thing-to-see-in-lovakia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-City-Hall-the-most-spectacular-thing-to-see-in-Leuven\"><\/span>4. City Hall, the most spectacular thing to see in Leuven<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the middle of the Grote Markt (central square) we find the most spectacular building to see in Leuven, the town hall. The Gothic-style building dates back to the 15th century and took 30 years to build. A curious fact about the town hall is that it survived a fire that ravaged the city after the First World War, and later, during the Second World War, it narrowly escaped a bomb that grazed the fa\u00e7ade. Fortunately, the building is still intact today and as well as admiring its spectacular fa\u00e7ade you will also have the opportunity to visit the interior. Guided tours are organised every day at 3pm and admission is free. It can be booked online. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"aligncentre size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"25343\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/belgium\/things-to-do-in-leuven\/attachment\/sightseeing-in-leuven-town-hall\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sightseeing-in-Leuven-town-hall.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Sightseeing in Leuven town hall\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sightseeing-in-Leuven-town-hall.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sightseeing-in-Leuven-town-hall.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sightseeing-in-Leuven-town-hall.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sightseeing in Leuven town hall\" class=\"wp-image-25343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sightseeing-in-Leuven-town-hall.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sightseeing-in-Leuven-town-hall.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sightseeing-in-Leuven-town-hall.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sightseeing-in-Leuven-town-hall.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sightseeing-in-Leuven-town-hall.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Sightseeing-in-Leuven-town-hall.jpg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Leuven town hall @pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fabrica-de-cerveza-stella-artois\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-Stella-Artois-Brewery\"><\/span>5. Stella Artois Brewery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stella Artois brand is one of the best known in Belgium, and the brewery is a must-see in Leuven for beer lovers. Here you will learn about the brewing process and how to drink it in the best way. And of course, you will be able to taste it. Visiting hours are from 9:00h to 19:00h every day and the entrance fee is 12\u20ac. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sint-pieterskerk-la-no-cathedral-of-lovakia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Sint-Pieterskerk-the-non-cathedral-of-Leuven\"><\/span>6. Sint-Pieterskerk, the non-cathedral of Leuven<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This monumental Gothic building is a must-see in Leuven. The curious thing about its history is that although it may look like a cathedral because of its size, it is in fact an unfinished church. In the initial plans, the bell tower was supposed to be 170 metres high, but due to the instability of the ground it was shorter. The Church of St. Peter can be visited every day from 10:00h to 16:30h except Wednesdays. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"aligncentre size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"25344\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/belgium\/things-to-do-in-leuven\/attachment\/church-of-st-peter-must-see-in-leuven\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Church-of-St.-Peter-must-see-in-Leuven.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Church of St. Peter must-see in Leuven\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Church-of-St.-Peter-must-see-in-Leuven.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Church-of-St.-Peter-must-see-in-Leuven.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Church-of-St.-Peter-must-see-in-Leuven.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Church of St. Peter must-see in Leuven\" class=\"wp-image-25344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Church-of-St.-Peter-must-see-in-Leuven.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Church-of-St.-Peter-must-see-in-Leuven.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Church-of-St.-Peter-must-see-in-Leuven.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Church-of-St.-Peter-must-see-in-Leuven.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Church-of-St.-Peter-must-see-in-Leuven.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Church-of-St.-Peter-must-see-in-Leuven.jpg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Church of St. Peter in Leuven @pau_viejo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-around-leuven\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-around-Leuven\"><\/span>What to see around Leuven?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several charming villages to see around Leuven. These are short excursions that are perfectly suited to cycling or even walking. There you will find beautiful landscapes and buildings of historical interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"brussels\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Brussels\"><\/span>1.

In the city you can visit numerous museums, including the Magritte museum, the museum of musical instruments and the museum of comics. In the historical area you should also visit the Grand Place, the Saint Hubert Galleries and look for the Manneken Pis. On the other hand, and in contrast to the city centre, the parliament buildings and the European Commission, which can also be visited, offer a different view of the city. If you are coming from Leuven, you can take the train, which takes 25 minutes. For Brussels, the car is the worst option, as car parks are more expensive. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"aligncentre size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"670\" data-attachment-id=\"25345\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/belgium\/things-to-do-in-leuven\/attachment\/things-to-see-in-brussels\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Things-to-see-in-Brussels.jpeg?fit=1024%2C670&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,670\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Things to see in Brussels\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Things-to-see-in-Brussels.jpeg?fit=300%2C196&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Things-to-see-in-Brussels.jpeg?fit=1024%2C670&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Things-to-see-in-Brussels.jpeg?resize=1024%2C670&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Things to see in Brussels\" class=\"wp-image-25345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Things-to-see-in-Brussels.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Things-to-see-in-Brussels.jpeg?resize=300%2C196&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Things-to-see-in-Brussels.jpeg?resize=768%2C503&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brussels @pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bertem-the-nearest-town-to-see-in-leuven\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Bertem-the-nearest-town-to-see-in-Leuven\"><\/span>2. <strong>Bertem<\/strong>, the nearest town to see in Leuven<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bertem is only 5km from Leuven and is a very picturesque little village where you can see a perfectly preserved 11th century church. There is not much else to the village apart from the church and its medieval houses, however, nearby are the Bertem forest and the Leefdaal plains, where you can go for a walk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"san-pedro-de-la-roda-y-tienen\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Tienen\"><\/span>3. Tienen<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tienen is a village 8&nbsp;km from Leuven that can be seen in a morning.  The former is famous for the castle of Horst, built in the 13th century. It is a very beautiful place as the castle is completely surrounded by ponds around which you can stroll. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Tienen it is best to stroll through the centre and visit the central square, the Church of Our Lady of the Lake, the Courthouse and the Town Hall. In the courthouse itself there is a museum (Het Toreke) dedicated to the history and art of the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-things-to-do-in-leuven-in-1-day\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-things-to-do-in-Leuven-in-1-day\"><\/span>What things to do in Leuven in 1 day?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Leuven is a small town that you can easily visit in a day. In fact, it&#8217;s a popular day trip from Brussels. Here&#8217;s a route you can follow to make sure you don&#8217;t miss anything in Leuven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First you can start by visiting the Beguinage and the M-Museum. After that, it&#8217;s best to have an early lunch at the Oude Markt, the square with the best restaurants in the area, and then go on a guided tour of the Town Hall. Once in the centre you can also see St. Peter&#8217;s Church. To end the day, what better than to visit the brewery and find out more about the brewing process. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"aligncentre size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"25346\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/belgium\/things-to-do-in-leuven\/attachment\/holidays-in-leuven-belgium\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Holidays-in-Leuven-Belgium.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Holidays in Leuven Belgium\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Holidays-in-Leuven-Belgium.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Holidays-in-Leuven-Belgium.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Holidays-in-Leuven-Belgium.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Holidays in Leuven Belgium\" class=\"wp-image-25346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Holidays-in-Leuven-Belgium.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Holidays-in-Leuven-Belgium.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Holidays-in-Leuven-Belgium.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Holidays-in-Leuven-Belgium.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Holidays-in-Leuven-Belgium.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Holidays-in-Leuven-Belgium.jpg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Holidays in Leuven @danielmorro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-to-leuven\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-get-to-Leuven\"><\/span>How to get to Leuven?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Leuven is a university city where hundreds of students travel every year, which means it is very well connected. The best way to get there is to fly to Brussels, where flights from major European cities arrive frequently, and from there, take a train. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The train from Brussels Airport takes 15 minutes to get to Leuven, and costs \u20ac6. Frequency is 1h on weekdays and 1.5h on weekends. If you are travelling from Brussels, you can take a train from Brussels Central Station for \u20ac5.5 to Leuven Belgium in 25 minutes. Departure time is 15 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is to hire a car at the airport itself. This option makes more sense if you&#8217;re flying into Charleroi Airport, a secondary airport to Brussels and less well connected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-restaurants-in-leuven\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best-restaurants-in-Leuven\"><\/span>Best restaurants in Leuven<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The two most famous products in Leuven, as in the rest of Belgium, are beer and chocolate. However, the city is characterised by a varied and delicious gastronomic offer. Looking for the perfect restaurant? Here are a few recommendations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Domus:<\/strong> Right in the centre of town is this rustic-looking restaurant with its own brewery. They have an extensive menu of hearty and delicious Belgian dishes, and the price of the meal ranges from \u20ac30 to \u20ac100. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tres simple \/Tres<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Luxe<\/strong>: this is a simple, fairly inexpensive restaurant that also doubles as a cocktail bar at night. It&#8217;s located in Muntstraat and dinner costs around \u20ac20\/40. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>T fonduehuisje:<\/strong> is a cheese-lover&#8217;s paradise, specialising in fondues but also serving a variety of other dishes. Prices range from \u20ac25 to \u20ac40. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-accommodations-in-leuven\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best-accommodations-in-Leuven\"><\/span>Best accommodations in Leuven<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding accommodation is not too complicated as the city is small and there are only two neighbourhoods close to the main sights to see in Leuven: the centre and the Beaterio neighbourhood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hotel Mille Colonnese: <\/strong>This is a very comfortable little hotel located opposite the bus station and 15 minutes from the centre. It costs about 70\u20ac per night, but includes a wonderful breakfast. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pentahotel Leuven<\/strong>: this is a 4-star hotel in the heart of Leuven, Belgium with all the amenities: fitness room, meeting room, restaurant and bar. Rooms cost around \u20ac150 per night. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hostal Blauwput<\/strong>: this is the cheapest option. From \u20ac30 a night, you can sleep in this clean and comfortable hostel that also has its own bar. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\n<figure class=\"aligncentre
