Leuven station

We recommend you to take the train to 'Leuven Station' and then travel to Campus Gertogstraat using a bus or a bike.  You can find more information on both options above. 

Connections to Leuven Station tend to be smoother than to Heverlee station. If you opt for the latter, you will need to walk and take another mode of transport for the last part as well. 

Route planner

Please consult the route planner of NMBS (the only provider of public transport by train in Belgium) for the best possible connection from your location. The ticket price depends on the distance you travel.
