Getting to Mechelen

BY CAR

Mechelen is located on the main highway between Brussels and Antwerp (E19), and hence very accessible by car. Take exit Mechelen Noord or Mechelen Zuid and the venue is just a few minutes drive away.

BY TRAIN

Belgium has a well developed railroad system and the Mechelen train station is within walking distance to the city center. You can get off at Mechelen Nekkerspoel for a shorter walk to the city center if your train stops there, or at the main Mechelen train station

BY PLANE

The two main airports are Brussels Zaventem and Brussels Charleroi. Take note that Brussels Charleroi is mostly taking the cheaper airfare companies but getting to Mechelen from Charleroi is more difficult and involves both bus and trains to get there. When you fly in to Brussels Zaventem, there is an underground train station that you can take directly from the airport. Mechelen is the first stop on any train in the direction of Antwerp.
