Five Special Leuven Souvenirs

Leuven is the capital of Belgium’s Flemish Brabant region. It is also home to one of the oldest universities in Europe! The university attracts students, academicians, and researchers from nearly 190 different nations. This makes Leuven a very vibrant city with many histories and cultures.
