Let's Visit Hasselt

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!

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
