Travelling to Leuven
The conference will take place in the Faculty of Theology, located in the centre of Leuven. Leuven is located 25 km from Brussels and easily accessible. Please note that Leuven (in French: Louvain) is NOT the same town as Louvain-la-Neuve, which is situated in the French speaking part of Belgium.
When arriving in Belgium by plane at Brussels Airport, information about how to travel to and from the Airport can be found on the Brussels Airport Official Website. The easiest way to travel to Leuven is by train or by taxi.
The railway station at Brussels Airport is located in the basement (level -1) of the terminal building itself. Although Leuven is situated only 20 km from Brussels Airport, there are no direct train connections from the Airport to Leuven. The Airport City Express brings you to Brussels North railway station in less than twenty minutes, three times an hour. At Brussels North there are several trains in the direction of Leuven. Timetable information and ticket prices for the whole of Belgium (and international trains) are available in Dutch, English, French and German on the Belgian Railways website. You must enter "Zaventem Airport" as the departure station and "Leuven" as the destination station.
