    I love the Flemish cities! They're the perfect mix of 'northern' quality (infrastructure, cleanness...) and southern 'joy of living' (architecture, food, street life,...). My top Flemish cities are Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges!

    Hi thank you for making this video. I have been very interested in this city. Could you please tell me if its safe ? It looks it but my idea of safe is being able to walk home very late at night if need be. Thank you so much

    • @happygoluckytravel
      @happygoluckytravel  9 месяцев назад +1

      Leuven seems quite safe. I'm sure there are some sketchy neighborhoods somewhere but we always felt safe walking in the center of town, even at night. It would be interesting to see the crime statistic compared to other Belgian or European cities though. Let us know what you find out. And thanks for watching.

    Beautiful town. The video has annoying audio, though, terrible music and narration. Adding only some titles would've worked better.
