Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Eupen
- Travel: Eupen is in Belgium’s German-speaking Community, close to the German border. Trains via Liege or Aachen work well; from Eupen station most venues are walkable or a short local trip.
- Weather and clothing: Early September can be mild, cool and changeable. Layers, comfortable shoes for moving between venues, and a light rain jacket are useful.
- Stay: Hotels in Eupen fill up because many rooms are held for artists. Book early or use the festival campsite on the Ettersten meadows below Alter Schlachthof.
- City format: Venues are close, but the schedule is dense. Sketch a daily route and leave time between sets.
- Volunteering: If a ticket is out of budget, volunteer shifts have often included festival entry. Details appear on the official site.
