What we'll talk about

Always been amazed by the many beautiful buildings when walking around in Leuven and finally wanting to know more about their history? Curious which cozy corners the locals love? Wondering why Leiveneirs are called “cow shooters”? Always wanted to meet the most famous student of Leuven?


Join Laura (a born and raised Leuvenaar!) on a 2 hour walk through Leuven to learn more about the history, the stories, and the many architectural highlights of our beautiful city.

Your host(s)

Laura Verheyden

I’m Laura, a real “Leivenes”, meaning I’m born and raised in Leuven. I studied at our 600 year old university and also work at KU Leuven at the Faculty of Economics and Business. Since I’m convinced I live in the most beautiful city in the world, I’m also a tour guide in Leuven, who loves taking tourists and locals alike along the architectural and historical highlights and cozy corners of the city. As a zythologist I can also tell you about the history of Leuven as a beer capital or simply where you can find the best beers in town.
