Travel Information

If you come by car, from Brussels or Liege/Aachen (freeway E40), take exit `Leuven'. If you come from Hasselt/Eindhoven (freeway A2), take exit 15.
Make a right, right before the third traffic lights and the fly-over. The Faculty Club and Begijnhof Hotel are 200m further on, right after the fly-over on the other side of the street. To get there, make a U-turn at the next crossing.
