Leuven's Grand Place forms the beating heart of the historic city center. On one side shines the ornate Gothic town hall, on the other towers the imposing St. Peter's Church. The Tafelrond and the beautiful guild houses also immediately attract attention. Ever since the 14th century, this square has been the backdrop of Leuven city life. Today it remains a lively place with cafes and taverns that invite you to stop and take in the city.
