Traveling to Leuven, Belgium

The Weather

During the month of June, you may expect every day to be rainy and wet with temperatures between 12 and 25 degrees. You may also expect every day to be sunny and warm with temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees. And everything in between you may expect as well, including some surprises.
Fellows are strongly advised to bring comfortable shoes for walking. Throughout Leuven and in all of the places visited by the Fellowship, there are many cobblestoned streets which are challenging for walking.

Arriving in Leuven

The easiest way to travel to Leuven from the Brussels Airport is by train. When you come out of customs into the arrival hall, turn right and take the escalator or elevator down to the train station in the airport. Take the train that goes directly to Leuven. It is about a 20-minute trip. The cost is 9.40 Euros one way. There are 2 to 4 trains per hour. Most of you will arrive on a weekend or during a holiday so there will only be 2 trains per hour. This is the same when you return from Leuven to the airport after the Fellowship is completed. You need to purchase your ticket before boarding the train. Leuven will be the first stop of the train. A taxi from the airport to Leuven will cost you 80 to 90 Euros one way. If there is any traffic, the taxi will be slower.
When you arrive at the train station in Leuven, you can either walk or take a bus or take a taxi to your lodgings or to the classroom. From the train station in Leuven to the center of Leuven (the City Hall), it is a one kilometre walk down the Bondgenotenlaan. From the center of Leuven every other place in the city is within a one-kilometer walk. There are also buses and taxis available.
There will be no one to meet you at the airport when you arrive in Leuven. This is also the case at the end of the Fellowship when you leave. You will be fine. It is easy. Everyone speaks English as well. If you have any problems, you can always call Francis on his mobile phone.
