By car

Leuven is situated on the important Ostend-Brussels-Leuven-Liège-Cologne axis and is located near the junction of two important motorways: E40 and E314.

Cars are not a convenient mode of transport in the centre of Leuven due to many one-way roads and the advice is to keep your car out of the city and use the car parks. Within Leuven, walking and cycling are the easiest, cheapest and most convenient ways to travel. Leuven and its suburbs are very accessible by bus.
