About this school trip

Leuven has been a university city for more than six hundred years, and you can see it everywhere. For upper secondary and vocational students who are thinking about further study or are interested in science, it is an inspiring destination.

The monumental University Library on the Ladeuzeplein is a story in itself: the building was rebuilt after its destruction in the First World War, and from the tower your students enjoy a sweeping view over the city. On a city walk you pass the University Hall, historic colleges and the Groot Begijnhof, one of the best-preserved beguinages in Europe. At the Museum of Zoology, students get to know the university's zoological collection. Science, history and student life all come together.

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your students to Leuven, with a rest break on the way. In our comfortable coach with an experienced driver you travel there and back safely and in comfort.
