By train and bus
In the station of Leuven you can board the local train which goes to Wavre and Louvain-la-Neuve. The first station is that of Heverlee. If you get out there it is a ten minute walk to the St.-Lambertus Chapel (in red circle above).
Please pay attention to the fact that you have to take the train to Leuven and not to Louvain-la-neuve (Louvain-la-neuve is situated near Wavre and houses the French speaking equivalent of the Katholieke Universiteit).
At Leuven station, you can take a taxi (this will cost between 10 and 15 Euro and will take 5-10 minutes).
You can also take bus "Campus" in the direction "Kantien/Campus" (the bus stops on the Kantien square, 150m of our building). Alternatively, take the bus in the direction "Heverlee boskant"; in that case you have to get off at Heverlee station, and walk 7 minutes (direction NW: Sint-Lambertusstraat - Vandenbemptlaan).
Yet another alternative is to take the train from Leuven in the direction of Wavres/Louvain-la-Neuve!) till Heverlee train station (1 stop) and then walk to the St.-Lambertus Chapel (in red circle above).
At the "Kantien" you will see the park with the Arenberg Castle in front of you.
By planeIn the Brussels Airport (Zaventem), take the train to Brussel Noord (about 15 minutes), and change for Leuven (about 20 minutes), not Louvain-la-Neuve! You'll find trains for Leuven by searching for: Leuven, Luik/Liège or Welkenraedt.
From Leuven station, proceed as mentioned above.
