Mechelsestraat and Vismarkt
The guide was updated:The "place-to-shop" for those who love things that are "different" and "trendy". This shopping street, which also has a range of culinary shops, offers a somewhat southern flavour and is a must for those who visit Leuven for shopping. More intimate and cosier than Bondgenotenlaan or Diestsestraat, this narrow street invites you to stroll through it slowly.
