About the tour
You start in the imposing University Hall. A few years after the university was founded in 1425, they used part of the building as lecture halls. Today, it is still the heart of the university. Head upstairs via the Museum Hall and monumental staircase for a unique view of the city.
Afterwards, the guide will take you through the Naamsestraat. You walk past iconic colleges, such as Holy Spirit College, Premonstratensian College, Atrecht College, and Van Dale College.
You’ll finish the tour in the picturesque Great Beguinage, UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most beautiful places in Leuven.
