Arrive in Louvain-la-Neuve — the car-free university new town of UCLouvain in Walloon Brabant — with a private fixed-price transfer from Frankfurt Airport (FRA).

Louvain-la-Neuve is a university town built from scratch in the fields of Walloon Brabant, about 30 km south-east of Brussels, after the Catholic University of Louvain split along language lines in 1968 and its French-speaking half had to leave Leuven. King Baudouin attended the laying of the first stone on 2 February 1971, and the town was designed for pedestrians: the centre sits on a concrete deck with roads, car parks and the railway station hidden underneath. UCLouvain, which traces its origins to 1425 and is Belgium's largest French-speaking university, has its main campus here, alongside a science park whose companies include the proton-therapy specialist IBA. The Hergé Museum, opened in 2009, celebrates the creator of Tintin, the Aula Magna overlooks the artificial lake, and the Walibi theme park is just down the road in Wavre.
The Frankfurt Airport to Louvain-la-Neuve transfer follows the A3, A61, A4, E40 (BE), E42 (BE), E411 (BE) corridor with consistent journey times of around 4h. Your FrankfurtRide chauffeur drops you at any address in Louvain-la-Neuve — hotel, business, or private residence — all at the same fixed price with no detour surcharge.

Belgian university calendars run ahead of German ones: UCLouvain's welcome week falls in early September, classes begin in mid-September and the second term opens at the start of February, so international students and their luggage arrive weeks before the German October rush. Summer is quieter on campus, although conferences and the science park keep business visitors coming and families head for the Hergé Museum and Walibi.
