Advantages: Central location Disadvantages: How long have you got?
Where to spend the last couple of days of our holiday in Germany?
Easy - Leuven.
Yes, I know it's in Belgium. But we were traveling home via Brussels, so it's not as strange a choice as at first seems. No, really.
We booked the HOLIDAY INN GARDEN COURT for our last couple of days - handy for the airport, and, let's face it, it would be nice to get my hands on some Belgian beer after enduring all that German stuff! *
The hotel should be easy to find. After all, it's only a matter of turning down Tiensestraat from the inner ring road and there it is - 100-150m from the Grote Markt. What they didn't tell us though was that Tiensestraat is a one-way street, and part of it was closed due to roadworks, and another part was closed due to a fun-fair, and to access the hotel meant driving all the way around the ring road and then ...
Advantages: Peaceful, comfortable, great service, nice garden Disadvantages: No gym, swimming pool
-street, at the end of which was a whitewashed archway. I went in for a look around, and a very helpful young lady showed me a couple of rooms, the breakfast room, the garden and the lobby and gave me the leaflets. We were looking for somewhere for my parents to stay when they visited us, and this looked ideal.
HISTORY OF THE HOTEL
The hotel is a former convent near the heart of the old university city of Leuven (I did a review of Leuven a while back, which I shall revise). It is surrounded by university buildings, five minutes walk from the botanical gardens in one direction, and just over the River Dijle from the main civic squares, the Oude Markt and the Grote Markt with the Town Hall and the Cathedral. The building was also the home of Guy Morillon, secretary of Charles V and Prince of Holland (1516 ? 1555), and resembles some of the buildings ...
Advantages: Variety of pubs, variety of beers Disadvantages: Some pubs are overcrowded
----------IN GENERAL----------
Leuven is Belgium?s most famous student city. Almost 40 000 students live in this little town. So when it comes down to pubs in Belgium, Leuven is legendary. Basically, the town is one big pub. In this relatively small town you will find almost 200 pubs, each with their own specialty. And the great thing about it is that the town is so small you can reach most of them on foot.
Other reasons why Leuven is the ultimate pub town:
* Closing hour?
Never heard of it. After a long night you can even see kids going to school in the morning when you?re leaving the pub. A friend of mine never goes to bed before 5am, and never gets up before 1 pm. (and for the more curious among you, yes, she is only a couple of months from graduating)
* Beers!
One advice: try as many beers as you can. You ...
