Arriving at the Venue

SQUARE is ideally located in the historical and cultural heart of Brussels.  

SQUARE very conveniently sits next door to the main transport hub of Brussels – the Central Station – where train, tram, metro and bus all meet. The fast train to the international Brussels Airport takes less than half an hour. For those visitors preferring to come by more sustainable means, we have a spot for cyclists and recharging facilities for electrical cars. Car drivers will find plenty of secured and covered parking facilities under SQUARE or close by.

By car

There are two public car parks with over 1700 parking spaces. Parking Albertine is the closest car park and is situated underneath SQUARE with direct access to the venue from the inside. Both car parks are accessible 24H and both have recharging facilities for electric cars. For direct access from the car park, please go to level -3 and follow the directions to SQUARE. This route provides direct elevator access. A short walk away is the Grand Place car park which is conveniently placed midway between SQUARE and the UNESCO world Heritage site of the Grand Place…

The Brussels bicycle network is well marked on all routes around the city and cycling is encouraged as a great way for visitors to discover the city. In the mornings and evenings you will see many cyclists on their way to and from work on two wheels.

Cycling is permitted on all routes in both directions, even on one-way streets for vehicles. Just look out for the signs with “Excepte / Uitgezonderd” with a picture of a bike.

You can rent bicycles throughout Brussles using the “Villo” service, with many stations to collect and drop off your rental bicycle. There are two stations within 2 minutes walk from SQUARE. Visit the Villo website for more details.
