Following a survey carried out in 2019, a multimodal mobility plan was studied for Winter Wonders. This study was continued in 2021 and 2022 in collaboration with Fluxology and Scelta Mobility. Several measures will thus be implemented in order to harmonise the interaction of the various flows within and around the event.
Brussels-Central station occupies a strategic position in the city centre. We strongly advise you to take public transport to get to the event.
During the weekend, return train services (from Friday at 7 pm to Sunday) benefit from a reduction of 50%. What’s more, the SNCB is offering a special ticket at half price during the school holidays. Train users can also access station car parks at a reduced rate.
The numerous public transport links serving Winter Wonders are a major asset in terms of accessibility. From the Gare Centrale, Bourse and De Brouckère stations, visitors can reach the heart of the event via metro lines 1 and 5, trams 3 and 4, and buses 29, 33, 46, 71, 89 and 95.
You don’t even need to buy a ticket in advance – you can simply travel using your bank card. Scan your bank card, smartphone or connected watch on the grey validator and board! More info.
The bicycle remains the easiest and most flexible means of transport. Cycle parking facilities are available in the vicinity of Winter Wonders for the duration of the event. Shared bikes can be hired via Villo! and the multiple shared mobility application. More than 800 underground cycle parking spaces, accessible 24 hours a day by lift or staircase, are available at Bourse and De Brouckère stations. Access to the secure spaces is via a €30/year subscription linked to the Mobib card. Non-secure parking spaces are also available for occasional use.
Parking of scooters and shared bikes is prohibited on the event route. Drop zones are available. The use of scooters is prohibited on the Vismet during the five weeks of the event.
The event is accessible by car (if there is no other alternative). In order to avoid any inconvenience, we strongly advise you to navigate with Waze or Google Maps to a Park & Ride zone (Ceria or Crainhem) for €3 or free if you have a STIB/De Lijn ticket. These zones will be free of charge during the Winter Wonders weekends (24/11 – 1/1). From there, the heart of Winter Wonders is only 20 minutes away by metro.
We strongly recommend that you follow the signs indicating free parking areas and park your vehicle in an Interparking area outside the pentagon: Rogier, Albertine, Poelaert, Loi (special rate of €6 from 7 pm until 5 am – or €5.40 for Pcard holders) and Passage 44 (€10/24 h or €9 for Pcard holders, and €6 between 7 pm and 5 am – or €5.40 for Pcard holders). The Interparking Ecuyer and Monnaie have adapted parking spaces and lifts.
The area around the Vismet will become a restricted area during peak hours: Friday to Sunday from 4 pm to 11 pm. This restricted area is only accessible to local residents with a sticker, traders and people with reduced mobility, thanks to two filter zones.
A “Kiss and Ride” zone remains accessible at all times via Rue du Rouleau. This zone is designed for drop-offs for customers of local businesses and visitors. Drivers are then invited to park in an off-street car park.
The various points mentioned above will be integrated into the dynamic plan of Winter Wonders.: map.plaisirsdhiver.be
