Where Should I go: Inner Hebrides or Leuven?
Inner Hebrides
The Inner Hebrides are a chain of islands off the west coast of Scotland that feature some of the most beautiful landscapes and beaches in the country. The islands are practically untouched by modern times, making it the ideal place to explore ancient history while taking in the peace and tranquility of the surroundings. The best time of year to visit is from May to September when temperatures are between 60-75° Fahrenheit and rain is minimal. This is also an ideal time for beachgoers as sea temperatures are at their warmest during these months.
Leuven
Lying just east of Brussels, Leuven is a Belgian city and capital of the Province of Flemish Brabant known for its breweries, historic architecture, and university. Because of the university, the town is at its busiest during the academic year (September through June), but there is plenty to see and do during all seasons.
