HOW TO GET THERE?
ON FOOT OR BY BIKE
MAD Festival is easily accessible on foot or by bike, either alone or in combination with another mode of transportation. We have a large bike parking at the entrance of the festival grounds.
Don't have your own bike? You can use a Velo, a convenient bike-sharing system from the City of Antwerp. The nearest Velo stations are ZNA Cadix (128), Spoor Noord Skatebowl (136), and Cadix Oost (222).
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Find the most suitable train to Antwerp-Central station with the NMBS planner. From Opera metro station (5 min. via Keyserlei), take tram 1 towards P+R Luchtbal to the fourth stop, ZNA Cadix. On De Lijn's website, you can plan the complete route from your home address to our festival grounds.
TAXI
You can contact the company Antwerp-Tax at 03 238 38 38 and antwerp-tax.be. With the antwerp-tax mobile app, you can easily find, order, and track a taxi. The app is available for free for iPhone and Android.
BY CAR
MAD Festival lies within the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in Antwerp, which aims to improve air quality. Check whether your vehicle is allowed or not, and whether you need to register it to avoid a fine.
Planning to come to MAD Festival by car nevertheless? Consider carpooling: it's more enjoyable, cheaper, better for the environment, and you'll spend less time looking for parking.
You can park in the paid parking of ZNA Cadix, a mere one minute walk from the festival hub. Or opt for one of the Park & Rides outside the city center: there you can park for free and avoid the LEZ. Several public transport connections will get you to the festival grounds.
