Some useful mobility info to help you on your way.

With the support of Brussels Airport and NMBS/SNCB, Paradise City is proud to present an ambitious Green Mobility Plan to meet our growing climate ambitions.

As one of the world's greenest music festivals, we are continuously looking for ways to make our event more sustainable. Just as we did last summer, we will focus on reducing travel-related emissions, which are the largest contributor to our ecological footprint. We aim to increase the proportion of visitors arriving by train to 30% in 2025, supported by enhanced electric shuttle services from nearby Vilvoorde train station. To discourage car use, we maintain high parking fees and offer incentives for carpooling. For more in-depth details on Paradise City’s sustainability efforts, check out the green page.

Save time: plan your trip with our travel tool below.

To help you plan your trip to Paradise City, we have a handy tool that organises all options in one place. Using this tool below, you can easily coordinate your travel with our (night) trains, shuttles, your car, and even parking arrangements. Simply put your place of departure, the date, and the hour you would like to arrive, and check out all your available modes of transport in one place.

By Train

Option 1: Round Trip to Paradise City by Regular Day Train (with a Reduced Price)

The closest train station to the festival is Vilvoorde. From there, a free Brussels Airport Electric shuttle bus will take you to Paradise City and back. Buses depart at least once every 30 minutes in both directions.

Vilvoorde Station Shuttle Bus Operating Hours:

• Friday: 10:00 – 01:50

• Saturday: 11:00 – 01:50

• Sunday: 11:00 – 00:00

• Monday: 08:00 – 12:00

With the Event Train Ticket, you can travel both ways at half price on regular trains between any Belgian station and Vilvoorde from Friday, June 27, to Monday, June 30, 2025.

If you’re traveling from abroad, you can combine your Paradise City Train Ticket with a valid train ticket from your country to the Belgian border. From there, the Paradise City Train Ticket is valid to Vilvoorde station.

Attention: If you plan to use the night train for your return journey, a special Night Train Ticket is required (please see option 2). Visit the NMBS/SNCB website or app to buy your tickets, check timetables, and plan your trip.

Option 2: Going to Paradise City on a Regular Train and Returning by Night Train

Night train travel is only possible with a Paradise City Night Train Ticket. As seats are limited, booking in advance is recommended. The ticket includes your regular train travel to Vilvoorde Station, so there’s no need to purchase an additional festival train ticket as described in Option 1.

Once the festival ends, a free Brussels Airport Electric shuttle bus will take you to Vilvoorde Station, where NMBS/SNCB operates special night trains on three routes:

• VILVOORDE – BRUSSELS – GHENT SINT PIETERS (with stops at Brussels North, Brussels Central, and Brussels Midi)

• VILVOORDE – MECHELEN – ANTWERP CENTRAL (with stops at Mechelen, Mechelen Nekkerspoel, Duffel, Kontich-Lint, Mortsel-Oud-God, and Antwerpen Berchem)

• VILVOORDE – LEUVEN – HASSELT (with stops at Leuven, Tienen, Landen, and Sint-Truiden)

If using the night trains, be sure to head to the shuttle buses outside the festival entrance as soon as the music ends. On Friday and Saturday, all night trains depart from Vilvoorde Station at 2:10 AM sharp. On Sunday, the night trains leave at 00:10 sharp.

By Bicycle

We highly recommend traveling by bike or public transport. There will be spacious, professionally secured bike parking next to the festival entrance.

Visit fietsnet.be and follow the junctions from your location to our festival. We’re located in Perk, just by junction 56. Follow the signs as you approach the festival. Please be careful and ensure you're visible if riding your bike after dark.

The following De Lijn buses connect to and from Perk:

• 225: Kortenberg – Vilvoorde

By Air

Travelers arriving from Brussels Airport in Zaventem are advised to take a train to Vilvoorde Station, just a short ride away. We recommend purchasing a regular train ticket at the airport train station as it’s the most affordable and convenient option. From there, free shuttle services run continuously to and from the festival during operating hours. Please note that we do not have night trains to Brussels Airport after the festival.
