Travel

Two airports serve the are around Louvain-la-Neuve: Brussels South Charleroi Airport (the airport is called Brussels South, but it is not located directly in Brussels. It is located in Charleroi, 60km south of Brussels and 40 km from Louvain-la-Neuve) & Brussels Airport (Zaventem) (35km from Louvain-la-Neuve).  

Brussels South Charleroi Airport: flights to/from Charleroi are often cheaper (Ryanair), but public transport from Charleroi to Louvain-la-Neuve takes 2 hours (bus + train). The last bus from Charleroi airport for the train connection to Louvain-la-Neuve (LLN) leaves the airport at 9 pm on Friday. But: If you are travelling as a group, it is worth taking a cab from the airport to Louvain-la-Neuve: Cab navette from or to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL / EBCI) (taxi2charleroi.be).
