Mercurius: A Sculptural Landmark of Leuven

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from the Leuven Train Station (Leuven Station), exit the station and head straight onto Martelarenplein. Continue walking straight until you reach the intersection at Brusselsestraat. Turn left on Brusselsestraat and continue walking until you reach the main square (Grote Markt). From the square, head towards the statue of the 'Old Market' and follow the street (Mechelsestraat) straight ahead. Continue straight for about 1 km, passing by shops and cafes. When you reach the intersection with Naamsestraat, turn right. Mercurius is located on the left side along Naamsestraat, closer to the 3000 Leuven area.

• Bus

  From the Leuven Train Station, take bus line 1 or 2 from the bus stop directly outside the station. The bus will take you towards the city center. You will need to get off at the 'Naamsestraat' stop. Once you exit the bus, walk a few steps back towards the direction the bus came from. Mercurius should be visible a short walk away along Naamsestraat, situated on your left.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer biking, you can rent a bike from one of the many bike-sharing stations around Leuven. Start by heading towards the city center from your location. Follow the bike lanes that direct you towards the Grote Markt. Once at the square, continue on Mechelsestraat, and then take a right on Naamsestraat. Follow the road; Mercurius will be located on your left side, just past the intersection with other small streets.
