The road to UCSIA

Shared bikes

By public transport
Train
Antwerp Central Station is approximately a 15-minute walk away.
Renting a bike or e-step at the station with one of the sharing systems will reduce this travel time to about 5 minutes.
Plan your journey from station to station with the NMBS route planner.
Bus & tram
Bus 17 stops at the Paardenmarkt (stop Hessenbrug).
! Note:The Hessenbrug stop will not be served until 3 February 2026 due to works. You can get off at the Sint-Jansplein or Felixarchief stops.
Tram 7 stops short of Keizerstraat.
Tram 11 stops at Lange Nieuwstraat (stop Sint Jacob). Note: This route is suspended due to road works. The line will be back in service in the course of 2025.
Both Rooseveltplaats and Groenplaats are about a ten-minute walk away. These are hubs for lots of bus and tram lines.
Plan your route and check the timetable on the website of De Lijn.
Waterbus
Did you know that Antwerp also has a water bus? It connects the city centre with the nearby villages of Hemiksem, Kruibeke, Zwijndrecht, Lillo, and Kallo. You can take your bike with you on board without paying extra.
The water bus docks at the Steenplein. From there you continue on foot (16 minutes) or on bike (5 minutes).
There is a Velo station with shared bicycles 100 metres from Het Steen.
Please note: the water bus does not operate in stormy weather.
