Leuven's Old Market is the bustling entertainment heart of the city. Already in the Middle Ages, it was the market center and Leuven people gathered there. That role as a meeting place has remained. Today the Old Market forms the 'longest bar in Europe' with a succession of cafés and terraces. Especially in the evening, the square fills with students and visitors and comes alive.
