The VUB Main Campus is located in Ixelles (B-1050) at Pleinlaan 2 and is very easy to reach by public transport. We therefore recommend using one of the following options:
- The VUB Main Campus is situated right next to Etterbeek railway station, which offers smooth connections from Brussels city center, Brussels Airport, and all train stations in Belgium. For a detailed timetable, please consult the NMBS website.
- You can also easily take Metro line 5 from Brussels city center, e.g. from Brussels-Central or Brussels-Schuman stations, and get off at Pétillon metro station. Plan your journey on the STIB-MIVB website.
- Both tram 7 and tram 25 pass by the VUB. Get off at the VUB stop or Etterbeek Station. Plan your journey on the STIB-MIVB website.
- Several buses also stop at the VUB: lines 34, 36, 61, 95, and 348 pass the Main Campus. You can also use the STIB-MIVB website to plan your bus trip.
If you are coming by car, you will have free access to our campus and parking facilities for the duration of the event. First, you need to register your license plate in our system via this special link. If the registration is successful, you will receive a confirmation email from the system with further details, including the parking regulations.
On the day of the event, we recommend using ENTRANCE 13. Drive up to the barrier; the cameras will detect your license plate, and access will be granted. After the event, you can follow the same procedure to exit the campus.
Please note: this campus access is valid only until 11:59 PM on the day of the event itself. This registration does not automatically grant access on other days or allow for long-term parking after the event.
