  • Practical Information for Delegates Welcome to Leuven!
    ALTE 50th Meeting & Conference Day 20th – 22nd September 2017 – CNaVT, Leuven, Belgium Practical information for delegates Welcome to Leuven! We are so happy to welcome you to Leuven - a small university city with great history, good food, and dozens of pubs within stumbling distance. On the program we have dazzlingly interesting speakers, a thought-provoking topic, and a few exciting social events. This practical program can help you settle in a little in, but don’t hesitate to send us an e-mail if you have a specific question. Travel Information Travelling to Leuven is easy. There are direct plane connections between Brussels and most other capitals in Europe, and high-speed trains to all neighbouring countries. From Brussels you can reach Leuven in 15 to 30 minutes. Do not confuse Leuven (Louvain in French) and Louvain-La-Neuve, since these are two different towns (cool story about how the former and the latter parted ways though). By plane There are two main airports in Belgium: (1) Brussels Airport and (2) Brussels South Charleroi, which is mainly for low-cost carriers. We recommend arriving at Brussels Airport because it offers easier and faster connections to Leuven. A direct train connects Brussels Airport to Leuven in 15 minutes and costs €9.10. This train runs twice every hour. Connections from Brussels South Charleroi Airport to Leuven involve an intricate combination of buses, trains and sheer luck. It will take you at least 90 minutes to Leuven. By car Leuven can be reached easily by car. The E40 highway connecting Brussels and Liège runs through Leuven.
