In the heart of Leuven, the vibrant university city of Belgium since 1425, everyone knows 'De Kotmadam'. 💛
She’s the iconic landlady who rents out a 'kot' (a student room) and, in true Leuven fashion, becomes part landlord, part mother figure.
With the university KU Leuven shaping the city’s lively, international atmosphere, Leuven feels welcoming, compact, and full of energy.
'De Kotmadam' has become a timeless local symbol. You’ll find her bronze statue on the bustling Oude Markt — often called the longest bar in Europe — quietly watching over the terraces, the chatter, and the student life that give Leuven its charm.
Take a seat beside her next time you’re here. You’ll feel instantly at home. ☕
💾 Save this for your trip to Flanders and experience the student culture of Leuven, right in the heart of Oude Markt.

The Four Seasons complex was constructed in 1899 in Art Nouveau style by architect Jos Bascourt.
The seasons are identified by golden mosaics on the walls bearing the words Herfst (autumn), Winter (winter), Lente (spring), and Zomer (summer).
Each season has its own symbolic plants and flowers: for example, vines for autumn, roses for summer, and holly for winter.
📍 Located in the heart of the Zurenborg district in Antwerp.

"Een terrasje doen" (uhn tuh-RAS-yuh doon) 🌞
As soon as the first ray of spring sunshine appears, every Fleming asks the same question: "Terrasje doen?" Which means heading to the nearest terrace, order something to drink, and sitting back to soak up the sun. In Antwerp, the terraces make it even harder to leave... You stay much longer than planned. Every. Single. Time.
Think sun-drenched squares by the Cathedral, hidden courtyards like the Vlaaikensgang, rooftop views, and green oases, ... Pair it with a Flemish classic on the menu and you've got yourself the perfect April afternoon.
Spring is calling. Will you answer? ☀️
