How to Spend a Day in Tienen, Tienen, Belgium
For this post I am grateful to Discovering Belgium reader Steven Loyens. He saw my post on How to spend a day in Diest and offered to provide me with details of a similar tour in his hometown of Tienen. So here is his recommended route with descriptions of the points of interest to see on the way. The whole walk is around 11 km, which will certainly enable you to spend a day in Tienen! However, if that’s too long, you can easily shorten it by cutting out one or both of the loops to the east of Tienen and concentrating on the town center.
So thanks a lot Steven for providing us with this great walking route around your home town of Tienen. Over to you!
Steven writes: If you are intending to spend a day in Tienen and are travelling by train, don’t be dismayed at the sight of Tienen railway station. The station is undergoing a lengthy renovation. Welcome to Tienen!
Leaving the station, head straight into town on Vierde Lancierslaan. At the end of Vierde Lancierslaan go straight into the Leuvensestraat and then immediately right into Delportstraat. Follow this street until you arrive at the entrance to the small but wonderful city park at the Hotel Kronacker. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
