With the tour, you’ll gain access to the main library and the carillon bell tower. Even if it is raining, climbing the steps to the bell tower and stepping out on the terrace is worth it for a grand 360 view of the city.

Extra tip!
Hang inside a cafe and try some of Leuven’s specialty beers. Leuven is known for its innovative beer. Everywhere you go, you’ll find a bar or cafe serving local Leuven beer. We highly suggest taking a break from the rain at any cafe and sample the many unique beers made in Leuven. Need inspiration on where to go? Check out these spots suggested by Leuven locals.
A lie-in while the rain is gently ticking against your window is also an option, of course. Pick a cosy hotel or B&B.
