Leuven Transportation Tips by irisbe Top 5 Page for this destination

Cheapest, ecological & easy way to get around!

Nothing compares to the bicycle when moving around in a city, or when driving distances lesser then 20 km.
At Leuven, with over 30 000 students each year, this is the ultimate way to get you through the city!
Near the trainstation a huge parking space is kept for these 2-wheelers.
It must have had about 30 lines, each line about 150 bicycles... so you can start counting! I just guessed I didn't wanted to spend the whole afternoon counting parked bicycles `-)

How to find yours again in that huge heap?
Each line has a number and you better then memorize the yours!

If you don't have to travel too far

The bus is a rather comfortable way of getting to Leuven as well.
Recently a huge new red modern building has been erected just near the white building of the train station at the Martelarenplein. What a contrasts!
This building is the central place to take the bus.
Outside a time schedule let you know where and when next is departing.
If necessary, it is now easy to combine bus+train or bus+bicycle.

The road in front of the station is a one direction road for cars, and only busses are allowed to take the other direction as well.
So be careful if you cross.

Easy traveling

Far out one of the best ways to travel is by train. The Belgian railroad is very accurate. The only negative point of it is, that the last trains taking you back home might be leaving earlier then you intended to stay.
