1. By public transport
The easiest way to reach FE&BA in Maastricht is by public transport. Take the train to Maastricht Central Station (CS). From there you can take bus numbers 3, 4, 9 and 12 (at night time or very early in the morning take bus numbers 21, 28, 29 and 32). You can tell the bus driver that you need to get off the bus at bus stop "Tongersestraat"; he will warn you at the appropriate time. The bus stop is across the street from the entrance of the faculty.

2. By car
From the north (Eindhoven/ Amsterdam/Aachen):
Follow highway A2 until it turns into a main transit route at the traffic lights at the city limits of Maastricht. You will pass 6 traffic lights. After the sixth one, take the exit indicating: "centrum/N278". Eventually you will cross a bridge (Kennedy Bridge) and there is another traffic light nearby the police station (streetname: Prins Bisschopsingel). Finally you will reach a roundabout, which is where you go right. After about 150 metres you will find FE&BA on your right-hand side.

Parking is difficult in the vicinity of the building. There are a number of paid parking places on the Tongersestraat or the underground parking garage at the "Vrijthof".

From the south (Liege, Belgium):
Take A2 from Liege into Maastricht and take the second turn off the highway to the right (exit Centrum / N 278, direction Tongeren) and follow the signs to Centrum. Cross the Kennedybrug (Kennedybridge) and follow the street (Prins Bisschopsingel) until you reach a large roundabout (Tongerseplein roundabout, which is where you go right. After about 150 metres you will find FE&BA on your right-hand side.

Parking is difficult in the vicinity of the building. There are a number of paid parking places on the Tongersestraat or the underground parking garage at the "Vrijthof".

3. By plane

Maastricht/Aachen Airport, The Netherlands:
Fly into Maastricht/Aachen Airport and take a taxi to FE&BA. Recently, RyanAir started a service to Maastricht/Aachen airport. Unfortunately there is very little public transportation from and to the airport.

Brussels (Zaventem), Belgium:
The nearest international airport is Brussels, in Belgium. From there you can take the train (about 2 hours) to Maastricht. Virgin Air offers a number of flights to Brussels.

From Koeln, Dusseldorf Airports
By train:
Regular Deutsche Bahn connections to:
Aachen (Germany) - Interliner bus twice an hour to Maastricht
Liège (Belgium) - train once every hour to Maastricht

Amsterdam (Schiphol), the Netherlands:
Amsterdam is further than Brussels but has better train connections to Maastricht and is the bigger hub in Europe. The train takes about 2.5 hours to Maastricht. The train station is to be found right at the airport. Taking a taxi from this airport is of course much more expensive and takes a lot longer than from Brussels. The airport taxi from Amsterdam/ Schiphol takes 2 hours. Prices depend on the number of other passengers.

Rotterdam airport, the Netherlands:
This airport offers connections to several cities throughout Europe. Take a taxi or public bus to the Central Railway station and then the train to Maastricht.

Charleroi, Belgium:
Offers several connections to destinations in Europe. There is a train connection on to Maastricht, albeit a somewhat roundabout one.
