Bicycle Facilities in Brussels
Our capital has put a lot of effort into its cycling infrastructure in recent years, with bicycles gaining ground on 'King Car'. Large parts of the city centre are either car-free or pedestrianised. But be warned: Brussels is built on seven hills and it just so happens that Campus Brussels is located on Warmoesberg. After a few years at university, you will undoubtedly be in good shape as well as acquiring a diploma.
Use our bicycle park
If you come to campus by bike, you can park it in the underground bike park under the T'Serclaes building (entrance via Radisson hotel on Wolvengracht). Just ring the bell at 'Parking Odisee/KU Leuven Campus Brussels' and tell them you are a student.
