What to do in Leuven?
 

In Leuven next week for a conference. Any recommendations?

Drink lots of Belgian beer......

Send a pm to Garp. He's from around there. He can tell you where to go. I' m not far but don't really know the town.

I would suggest not mentioning that you are carrying assets for the Vatican...

Chances are that the conference takes place in the Faculty Club which is part of the Grand Beguinage (Unesco world heritage). Everything is within walking distance, the brand new museum M is certainly worth visiting. The botanical garden is small but very relaxing. Send me a PM if you want to go for a MTB ride in the area around Leuven, I've got plenty of bicycles and there's some really nice trails out here.
