Old Market Square (Oude Markt)

This is the most lively square in the city of Leuven and, dare I say it, the whole of Belgium. This city is famous for having a great atmosphere, thanks to its prestigious university and therefore the number of young people willing to have fun there. Well, all the young folk, plus all the tourists, mainly anyone who wants to have a fun time, usually come every afternoon to the Oude Markt. Loads of terraces packed with young people drinking a beer, having a smack or dinner, surrounded by a few classical buildings that give a special touch to any weekday afternoon. Surely, one of the favorite places of visitors to Leuven.

The Old Market Square of Leuven is the meeting place for many people who enjoy terraces at sunset. The square is quite large and is within walking distance of the train station, so there is a continuous movement of people. It is about 10 mins walk from the liveliest part of Leuven, near the Town Hall.
