How to get to Sportpaleis

There are many ways of getting to the Sportpaleis. I've made a list of all the possible methods of transport, including links that can give you more information.
Check out what's the easiest way for you to get to the venue!



By car
If you are travelling by car, you will probably need the full adress. Click here for a map; the full adress is right under this text. You, your parents or whoever is bringing you can park close to the Sportpaleis. For more info on how to get to the venue by car, please read this DutchFrench or English explanation.

Sportpaleis
Schijnpoortweg 119
Merksem (Antwerpen)

By bus
De Lijn
Your ticket for the concert also counts as a free ticket to get to and from the venue. It does not count as a free ticket to travel in Antwerp, it's only for your way to and back from the venue!
Warning: the concert ends around 22:30; you might not be able to get a bus home, so please check this beforehand!
Read more about this in Dutch here and here or in French here and here.
You can see what the best bus-route is for you in Dutch and French. For the full time schedule of the bus, look here (Dutch only).

TEC
For the Walloon fans who have to get to Antwerp: check the website of TEC. I have never travelled from Flanders to Walloon or the other way around, so I don't know exactly how it works, but I think you have to travel to the borderline of Walloon and Flanders and then take another bus / train. (Correct me if I'm wrong!)

By tram
Your concert tickets count as a free ticket to get to and from the venue. You can the tram-routes in and around Antwerp here.

By train
If you travel by train, you end up at the station. From there, you will have to take a bus or a tram to get to the venue. I explained these two transport methods earlier.
Warning: your concert ticket does not count as a free train ticket.
Warning: you might not be able to get a train home if the concert ends too late, so please check this beforehand!

Of course if you live very close to the Sportpaleis, you can also think of the environment and go by bike or use your feet ;)
