Sabaton 2 Dec 2025

Most of the centre of Antwerp is a low emission zone meaning that polluting cars are not allowed to enter. Although the arena is outwith this zone, some of the nearby car parks are not. Please note that not all car parks are always open. To find out which car park is available on the day of the event, check the details page 1-2 days before the event. At the car parks, you can pay cashless as well as with cash:

• Carrette (Carettestraat, 2170 Merksem (outside low emission zone, costs 8 euros)) · 800 m (10 min) from venue

There are a few spots for reserved wheelchair users and their companions. These customers are also entitled to reserved parking spots available up until 30 minutes before the start of an event. These spots are located on the private parking Vaart (10 euros). Strict control is maintained on these reserved spots so please keep your EU parking card, ID, and entrance ticket ready to show to the parking attendants.

Avoid the busy area of AFAS Dome, park your car at a P+R (Park & Ride) station, and travel by public transport. Your admission ticket to the event also serves as a ticket for De Lijn travel. The nearest P+R stations are:

Billo cooperates with AFAS Dome on a number of events. Share a minibus with other fans and pay only part of the fare. After the event, your Billo will be ready at the exit to take you home.

AFAS Dome can be reached on public bus route 19. Get off at Deurne Sportpaleis stop, which is 260 m (3 min) walk to the arena

Antwerpen-Centraal station is the main station in Antwerp providing connections with numerous destinations throughout Belgium and beyond. You can easily take the tram or metro to AFAS Dome. Your event ticket is also valid as a ticket for De Lijn.

• Metro stop Astrid (take line 3 toward P+R Merksem and get off at metro stop Sport, or take line 5 toward P+R Linkeroever and get off at tram stop Sportpaleis. This stop is above ground)
• Metro stop Diamant or Astrid (take line 2 toward P+R Merksem and get off at metro stop Sport, or take line 6 toward P+R Luchtbal and get off at metro stop Sport)

AFAS Dome and the Lotto Arena share 3 parking spaces for bikes.

If you are looking to rent a bike, there are various options:

• There are 3 Velo Antwerpen fixed stations within walking distance of the venue:
• 120 - Eendracht · 400 m (5 min) walk
• 227 - Amstel · 450 m (5 min) walk
• 228 - Van Heetvelde · 750 m (9 min) walk
• Mobit does not work with fixed stations. You can simply park the bike close to your destination and lock it securely
• You can borrow a Blue-bike at all train stations in Antwerp. You must return the bike within 24 hours to the same place where you picked it up

AFAS Dome is about a 3.0 km (36 min) walk from the centre of Antwerp. The city is beautifully historic and has much to offer visitors of all interests!
