A bar with a lot of cultural things, like concerts and dance expositions. Underneath, there are also a cinema with more alternative movies than Kinepolis. Check the site : www.stuk.be

Really beautiful place, must visit! It’s an old place where the nuns (used to) live. Quiet place with old small houses and beautiful gardens. It’s nice to walk through, but that’s it.

Traveler advice

Getting around

Foot, bikes and bus.

Everything is possible to do by foot. Leuven is really small. But you can always rent a bike or even get a bus very easily if you want.
