Louvain-la-Neuve has its own train station. There are three main train stations in Brussels: Bruxelles-Nord, Bruxelles-Central, and Bruxelles-Midi (also called Brussel-Zuid). There are trains from Brussels to Louvain-la-Neuve every half hour and the journey takes between 30' and 60' depending on which station you depart from (the order is as follows: Bruxelles-Midi, Bruxelles-Central, Bruxelles-Nord, Ottignies, Louvain-la-Neuve). Timetables are available from Timetables of the Belgian Railways. When buying a ticket or checking for connections, please indicate "Louvain-la-Neuve". Simply indicating "Louvain" may take you to the flemish city of Leuven wich is 30 km from Louvain-la-Neuve! The iMMC is a ten minutes walk from the train station in Louvain-la-Neuve. For finding your way from the train station to our buildings, we strongly recommend that you download and print the map with the recommended path. You may also print and follow the following instructions:
From the train station walk up the street ("rue des Wallons") all the way through "Place des Wallons", "Place Galilée" and "Place des Sciences" (a place with wooden floor). From the "Place des Sciences", follow the indications for "Sainte Barbe". Walk through the building "Sainte-Barbe" and exit on the other side of the building. You are on the "Place Sainte Barbe". To go to the Stevin building, walk in the direction of the building "Maxwell" and just 50 m before the building "Maxwell", you can see the entrance of the Stevin building on your left.
