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. Following this academic path, we will visit the Faculty of Psychology, with its beautiful gardens. 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.
