What should you not forget visiting Leuven?
Is your trip to Leuven booked? Perfect! What must you definitely not forget when you come to our city? You will find a short checklist below.

- 1. Good walking shoes
Leuven is a small city. Everything is within walking distance. Ideal for exploring in a walk or a stroll. Be kind to your feet and put on easy walking shoes. You can swap them in the evening for a comfortable alternative when you head out into Leuven’s nightlife.
- 2. Face mask
We would all have preferred that it wasn’t necessary, but as long as COVID-19 is in the country, you should have a face mask handy. In some places, wearing a face mask is mandatory, while in other locations it is strongly recommended. The signage in the city will help you with this.

As a visitor, you too can contribute to this by avoiding plastic bottles or drinks cans and bringing your refillable drinks bottle instead.
