About Opvelp

Opvelp is a quiet village in the municipality of Bierbeek, in the province of Flemish Brabant, close to the university city of Leuven. The surroundings are rural, with fields and small roads, so it suits visitors who want a calmer base within easy reach of Leuven and Brussels.

Places to Stay Nearby

Opvelp itself is small, so most visitors look at accommodation in nearby Leuven. Two well-known options there are Martin's Klooster Hotel, set in a converted monastery building, and the Leuven Marriott Hotel near the city centre. Both are a short drive from Opvelp, and your driver can take you straight to the address of your choice.
