Leuven: frequently asked questions

How many days do you need in Leuven?

Our Leuven route is built for 2 days and covers 12 stops, from arrival to the last drink of the last evening. It is a starting point rather than a rule — the app tightens it if you have fewer days and stretches it if you have more.

Is there a ready-made Leuven itinerary?

Yes — “Leuven, Unhurried” is a day-by-day Leuven route from the SMOVECITY editors. You can read every stop on the web, then open it in the app and change anything you like.

Where should I eat in Leuven?

Our Leuven guide lists 13 restaurants and bars, each with its own page. SMOVECITY does not rank or review them — the listings are there so you can find the place, and its own site.
