Leuven Beguinage

Leuven is 17 miles east of Brussels on the E40 Highway. There is train service three times an hour from the Brussels Central Station. The beguinage is a 20-minute walk from the Leuven rail station through the town's centuries-old heart. Also, several buses (among them No. 2 and 16) pass by the beguinage.
