Travel guide to Leuven, a famous tourist city in Belgium, suitable for checking in and taking photos📸

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Leuven is a famous tourist resort city in Belgium, with thousands of tourists coming here for sightseeing and vacation every day. This time I will introduce a travel guide to Leuven. Leuven - a small city famous for its university. The Catholic University of Leuven (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, KU Leuven) has always been the oldest and most prestigious institution of higher learning in the Netherlands, and is also the oldest existing Catholic university. The university is hidden in the small streets and alleys of the small town. If you take a stroll in the morning, you will definitely see energetic students from all over the world riding their bicycles and rushing to the class. On weekends, people drink coffee and beer in groups of three or four on the streets in a leisurely manner, and street musicians in the square send them musical blessings. The casual dance performances complement the youthful temperament of this small town. Who could have imagined that such a quiet and quaint little town would suffer the ravages of two wars. When the city was occupied by the German army in World War I, a large number of buildings in the city center were reduced to ruins, and about 300,000 volumes of books and precious manuscripts in the university library were burned, arousing the anger of the international community against the German army. After the war, the United States provided great support for the reconstruction of the library, and the neo-Renaissance structure of the library building was a gift from the United States to the city of Leuven and the University of Leuven. However, the good times did not last long. During World War II, the library's collection of books and manuscripts were destroyed again, and only a very small number of books survived. From then on, the university's collection of books was no longer managed centrally by the university library, but was kept in each department.
