• Brussels National Airport (Zaventem) is linked to Brussels by a train service: 4 trains/hour between 5.30 a.m. and 12 p.m. during weekdays and between 7 a.m. and 12 p.m. during week-ends (about 15'). Ask for a ticket to "Louvain-la-Neuve Université" (NOT Louvain or Leuven) and get off at the station Brussels Nord (a 12-15 min. ride). Take the Brussels-Namur-Luxemburg line (trains every half hour, week-end included), get off at Ottignies (about 35') and switch to a train to Louvain-la-Neuve (about 8'). Some trains go straight from Brussels to Louvain-la-Neuve but it takes more time. CORE is located about 2 min. walk from the railway station (area map).
  Timetables are available on the SNCB website.
• Brussels South Charleroi Airport: To reach Louvain-la-Neuve, take a bus from the airport (Bus A) to reach the Charleroi South station (about 20'). There are 2 buses/hour during weekdays (..h03 and ..h33) and 1 bus/hour during week-ends (..h10). You can purchase a ticket "billet bulk" at the airport's bus stop (door n°2). This ticket is only available at the airport. The bus rides to the Charleroi-Sud railway station, from which you can catch a train for Louvain-la-Neuve (you will have to get off at Ottignies and switch to a train for Louvain-la-Neuve). You should aim between 1h and 1h30 to reach Louvain-la-Neuve. CORE is a 2-minute-walk from the train station (area map).
  Timetables are available on the SNCB website.

(For those interested to go from Charleroi Airport to Brussels: there is a shuttle (every 30') that will go to Brussels South station (about 50').)

Starting from any train station in Brussels, ask for a ticket to "Louvain-la-Neuve Université" (NOT Louvain or Leuven). Take the Brussels-Namur-Luxemburg line (trains every half hour, week-end included), get off at Ottignies (about 35 min.) and switch to a train to Louvain-la-Neuve (about 8 min.). Some trains go straight from Brussels to Louvain-la-Neuve but it takes more time. CORE is located about 2 min. walk from the railway station (more precisely, the station is half undergound):

• get out of the train, walk back on the platform (opposite to the direction where the train was heading to)
• take the COVERED stairs at the end of the platform (not the uncovered stairs that you see first)
• you arrive on a street, turn left, walk 10 to 30 meters (depending on which platform you come from)
• take the street on the right (Voie du Roman Pays), CORE entrance is at the next corner to the right (a little to the right and a little down)
• go to floor 1 (by the elevator) to reach the information office (room b.130)

(You can find a small "area" map to reach CORE from the train station here.)

Timetables are available on the SNCB website.
