About Louvain-la-Neuve and its surroundings

Louvain-la-Neuve is located 30km from the southeast of Brussels in a hilly region. It is the youngest Belgian city dating from 1972 and has been created as a result of the separation from the old Alma Mater, which has been established in the Flemish town of Leuven since 1425. Since the beginning Louvain-la-Neuve was conceived as a pedestrian city integrated with University buildings. Its contemporary architecture has been inspired by medieval cities while keeping human proportions. Now some 16 000 students and about 9 000 residents live in Louvain-la-Neuve.
