 Website of the Belgian
railways by Christophe_Ons
Consult the website of the Belgian railways to find out about the route that matches your itinerary.
If you don't already have a railpass of some sort, a Belgian RailPass at 62 Euro will entitle you to 10 trips of your choice and is a great value when you travel between cities like Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels, Liege, etc... The good thing is you can share the RailPass with someone, all you have to do is fill out the date and destination per person before you board the train.
For more details on travelling to other Belgian cities, check on http://www.red-nucleus.be/travel

 Central bus stop by irisbe
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.

 bicycles! bicycles! who needs
a car anyway `-) by irisbe
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!

 Trainstation at Leuven by irisbeLeave a Comment

Arriving by car seems simple enough too (when Caro is driving) and you can park almost right in the centre in a large underground carpark (you emerge into one of the main squares). The parking fee seemed quite expensive though, especially as we were there in the evening. Maybe it's even more during "peak" times :-S
Getting around is pretty simple - it's a quite small and compact city, so you can walk to most of the places that you'd want to see. Even the beguinage is not too far to walk. Theme: Train

This is a must: you can't get everywhere in Leuven by car, so you have to do what all locals do: take a bicycle when your' re in the centre ..
Make shure you set it safe, because bicycle-theft happens a LOT !
Leuven centre isn't that big, so you can get perfectly anywhere ( within Leuven centre ) in less then 10minutes by bike .. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

Public Transport is very good in Belgium (although we can't stop complaining about it). Leuven can be reached quite easily by train from anywhere in Belgium. Leuven itself is quite small so you can go on foot but busses serve every part of town. Also in the area around Leuven virtually any place can be reached by bus. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

When we go to leuven during a holiday, the carparks are usually closed. What we then do is we park the car under the bridge at the harbour. That's the harbour which is near the Stella Brewery. This is free and safe. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Leuven is easy to reach by car. Parking shouldn't be a problem either, although you're usually going to have to pay for it. A big parking garage is Ladeuze, underneath the university library. However, you can try to find a free spot. Just outside the centre, well within walking distance from it, are entire streets where you don't have to pay. If you can find a place, that is. You can also try to find the Lidl supermarket, which is very close to the centre. It has a free parkingplace. Of course it's intended for customers, but if you feel guilty about it you can always buy something for your conscience. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

In less than 30 minutes, you are whisked away from the dirty streets of Brussels to the small town of Leuven. From the train station, the city centre is only a 15 minute walk. Leave a Comment Theme: Train
