Botanical Garden Kruidtuin

Botanical Garden Kruidtuin is Leuven’s peaceful historic garden and the oldest botanical garden in Belgium, founded in 1738. Once used by the university for medicinal plant studies, it now offers a compact but varied collection of herbs, exotic plants, greenhouses, and landscaped ponds. Its quiet paths and central location make it an easy stop between sightseeing in the city. Visit if you enjoy gardens, plant collections, or a calm place to take a break from Leuven’s busier streets.
