Come join LLB for a nice trip to Hasselt, the capital of Limburg (and where I was born). We will visit during the Jeneverfeesten, the extravagant city party. While the name makes it look like just drinking, there's way more to explore!

Schedule (subject to change)

• 09.45 we meet at the train station (in front of the main building, at Madmum)
• 10.07 our train leaves on Track 3 of Leuven Station.
• 11.00 We arrive in Hasselt, take a coffee and have a look at the activities.
• 12.00 We walk to the Japanese Garden and have a look around
• 14.00 We walk back to the Jenevermarkt and have lunch
• Free afternoon: we'll provide you with a list of options
• We have dinner, maybe some jenever, and take the train back to Leuven
