Your guide to
SuperNova 2027

Driving to SuperNova is possible — but it requires a bit of planning.

Due to ongoing construction works around Waagnatie, the large on-site parking at the venue will not be available during the event. If you’re coming by car, we strongly recommend deciding where to park in advance to avoid delays or last-minute stress.

What to expect:

• No public parking directly at Waagnatie
• Several alternative parkings are available within reasonable distance
• From there, you’ll be able to continue by public transport, bike, taxi or shuttle

Antwerp’s buses and trams are run by De Lijn, and they’re one of the simplest ways to reach Waagnatie from Antwerpen-Centraal or around the city. From Central Station you can jump on:

• Tram 24 (to Havenhuis) — get off at Antwerpen London, then it’s about a 700 m walk to Waagnatie.
• Tram 7 (toward Eilandje) — get off at Antwerpen MAS, then it’s roughly a 350 m walk.
• Bus 17 — gets you to Felixpakhuis, around a 1 km walk.

How it works: Tickets can be bought via the De Lijn app (plan your trip, buy mobile tickets, get live times), at ticket machines at major stops, or directly on board where contactless payment is accepted. If in doubt, Google Maps travel planning works well too.

Your main rail hub is Antwerpen-Centraal — central, beautiful, and very well connected.

From within Belgium: Belgian Rail tickets & planner: belgiantrain.be

• From Brussels Airport (BRU): frequent direct trains run roughly every 30 minutes and take about 30 minutes to reach Antwerpen-Centraal.
• From Brussels city centre: trains depart regularly and take ~40 minutes.
• From other Belgian cities (Ghent, Bruges, Liège, etc.): just plug your origin into the Belgian Rail planner and book online.

From abroad: Eurostar tickets: eurostar.com

• Eurostar doesn’t stop directly in Antwerp, but you can ride high-speed to Brussels-Midi and switch to a local NMBS/SNCB train from Brussels to Antwerpen-Centraal.
• International connections from Amsterdam, Paris, Cologne and beyond connect into Belgium’s rail network; just plan Brussels as your transfer point if needed.

Velo Antwerpen: Antwerp’s city bike-share is a fantastic and eco choice. You can buy a day pass (€5) or week pass (€12) in the Velo app, unlock bikes at any of the many stations (including near Amsterdamstraat and Red Star Line), and return them at any other station when you’re done. Each ride is included up to 30 minutes per session — perfect for a quick cruise to Waagnatie.

Other rentals:

• Bike rentals (e-bikes, regular) via local services like Donkey Republic or Swapfiets — book through their apps and pick up close to Antwerp-Centraal.
• Electric scooters from providers like Bolt or Voi — find, unlock and pay via their apps; park responsibly when finished.

Taxis are everywhere in Antwerp — from stands (e.g., around Antwerp-Centraal) or via apps like Uber and local taxi apps. Just enter “Waagnatie, Rijnkaai 150, 2000 Antwerpen” as the destination and you’ll be dropped right at the venue entrance. This is one of the easiest options after trains or bikes if you’re carrying gear or prefer a private ride.

If you’re flying into Brussels Airport (BRU), the fastest, easiest way to reach Antwerp is by train. Trains depart directly from the station below the airport terminals and reach Antwerpen-Centraal in about 30 minutes on direct services — with frequent departures throughout the day.

What to do:

• After landing, follow signs to the Train Station under the airport.
• Buy a ticket online in advance or at ticket machines; then board a direct train to Antwerpen-Centraal.
• From there, walk, use public transport (trams/bus), bike, taxi or scooter to reach Waagnatie.

If you prefer a taxi/Uber, they’re available curbside at the airport — quicker but more expensive.
