I am going to see the Tintin museum in Louvain de Neuve in Brussels in September. I can't wait. Does anyone know if it is easy to get there from the City centre?

I'm planning to spend a day in Brussels and read on the Foundation’s website that there is a coach/bus direct to the museum.

Does anyone know which hotel its supposed to pick passengers from?

Many thanks.

Moderator Note: It appeares that there are hotels which participate in a scheme in association with a tour company, and which can organise trips for their guests to the museum - it doesn’t seem to be a regular service, with stops at specific hotels at scheduled time, but rather that the company will collect guests as and when they reserve a tour (they do list departure times, but as a reference for guests wishing to time their departure); the service also only runs on three afternoons per week (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays), and limits you to a two hour stay at the Museum, which may not be enough.
So if you are only making a day trip, you may not qualify if you aren”t staying at a hotel.
You may be able to get the bus from the tour operator’s premises, as noted here, and here, although the list of stops has been crossed out on that page. It doesn’t appear on the tour company’s page about the scheme either, so it may have been withdrawn or cancelled; you might want to contact them and find out.
You will find information about other means of transport to the museum in this thread, if that is of any help.
