It is so much easier and nicer to walk: starting in front of the railway station, continue straight on through the Stationsstraat. Cross the bridge (Servaasbrug). Continue right to the entrance of De Bijenkorf department store; turn left there. Straight on, cross the square (Onze Lieve Vrouwenplein) with the basilica on your left. From there please follow the pedestrian signs (black with gold lettering) All in all, this trip takes about 15 minutes, provided that you are not distracted by the many sights along the route

Ride a bike:
(Bikes for hire at the 'Stationsrijwielstalling' near the Central Station)

In front of the railway station, continue straight on, and cross the Servaas bridge, and turn left at the crossing to continue along the Maas River. Turn right in front of the underground car park, and cross the square (Onze Lieve Vrouwenplein), then turn left (Witmakersstraat), cross the Pieterstraat, and turn left again at the next crossing (Achter de Molens). Continue until the street turns sharply to the right: you are now in the Grote Looiersstraat. At the far end of this street you will now see the entrance to the museum !
