Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Mechelen
- Travel by train: Mechelen is well connected to the Belgian rail network; the city centre is only a short walk from the station.
- Bring weatherproof clothing and comfortable shoes – the festival is mostly outdoors and late-August weather can be changeable.
- Book accommodation in the historic centre or near the station early, as the festival is very popular.
- Use park-and-ride facilities on the outskirts and public transport or the shuttle; the centre is traffic-calmed during the event.
- Arrive early to secure good spots at the main stages and enjoy the atmosphere at a relaxed pace.
