"I love to going to Optimist. Pure enjoyment with friends on the terrace after cycling or shopping."

Karlien shows you round the Vismarkt:

  • When the sun’s shining, you can bask on the terrace of the De Blauwe Kater.



  • On Friday evenings Karlien checks into Optimist for a snack and a drink with her girlfriends.


  • Leuven’s packed full of delightful cafés and original shops, just take a look. And there’s no better place to end a day’s shopping or cycling than the Vismarkt.

Want to stay near one of Karlien’s favourite places? Book a room at Ibis Leuven Centrum or Logies Vitale. Both are just a 5-minute walk from Vismarkt.
