And from there we will arrive at the spectacular Laudezeplein, a square where the Library of the University of Leuven is located, a famous building and symbol of the city.

Passing through the most lively area of the city and a point to have a drink after the tour, we will arrive at the Grote Markt.

Un Tour excelente! Cualquiera que Visite Lovaina por Primera vez tiene que hacer éste Tour. El Tour duro un poco más de lo planeado porque nuestra guia nos daba tiempo para Fotos y explicaba muy bien todo.
