Grand Béguinage

Recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1998, this is one of the most spectacular sites in the city of Leuven. Walking through it is something like riding a time machine and hallucinate. It is an old widows beaterio today retains a special aura between these red brick buildings. One imagines riding around on a bicycle with a backpack full of books. It feels very strange but fascinating. It's like a mini-city within another where the clocks stopped many years ago. It is a little away from the center of the city or about 15 minutes or 20 on foot. You can be sure you won't regret it.
