Grote Markt
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Toller Platz mit großartiger, freundlicher Atmosphäre. Hier scheint immer was los zu sein und alles wirkt mega friedlich und entspannt, trotz oder gerade wegen der vielen Kulturen, die hier aufeinander treffen.

Universiteitsbibliotheek en bibliotheektoren
University library
👍👍 Today, I took my 3-year-old child to visit the Universiteitsarchief KU Leuven . The most interesting thing was that we climbed the tower together. The process of climbing the tower was very meaningful. It took 40 minutes in the library and the ticket was 7 euros. The conductor is very patient.

Dijlepark
City park
🫤 What is supposed to be a hidden / romantic / peaceful park is actually rather dirty and poorly kept.
The water of the pond is filthy and littered with trash, the plants around it suffer or die. The grass isn’t homogenous with too many bald / muddy spots.
Not a single flower to be observed even tho...
