Tomorrowland welcomes hundreds of thousands of festival-goers from around the world each year. If you're looking for how to get to Tomorrowland or the best way to get to Tomorrowland from the airport, most land at Brussels Airport (BRU, Zaventem) or Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL). Brussels Airport to Tomorrowland always means reaching Boom (De Schorre) — not Brussels city centre. Here is an objective comparison of transport options with real distances and times.
Where is Tomorrowland?
The festival takes place at De Schorre, Boom (Belgium). From Brussels Airport, expect roughly 30 km and 30 to 50 minutes by car depending on traffic — on festival weekends, plan for the upper end of that range. From Charleroi (CRL), the drive takes about 1h30. These times can increase further at peak hours.
Comparison: private taxi, official shuttle or train to Boom
Before choosing your Tomorrowland transportation, here are the three main options side by side:
- Private transfer (taxi or chauffeur): direct journey from BRU or CRL to the official Kiss&Ride drop-off, fixed price, ideal for groups or camping gear.
- Official Tomorrowland shuttles (Global Journey packages, etc.): convenient if you buy a full festival package, often limited to specific days (Thursday arrival and Monday departure) and preset hubs — less flexible than a taxi from your airport.
- Train to Boom station + free shuttle every 10 minutes to the entrance: economical for light travellers, but involves connections and a station-to-site leg.
Option 1 — Train + shuttle or local taxi
From Brussels Airport, you can take a train to Antwerp-Central station (around 30 minutes), then a regional train to Boom. From Charleroi, the journey usually involves Brussels then Antwerp — longer and less direct than a door-to-door transfer.
- Pros: often economical for a solo traveller with light luggage.
- Cons: connections, carrying bags through stations, coordinating schedules after a flight.
- At Boom station, you still need to reach the festival site (taxi, shuttle or walk depending on period).
Option 2 — Official Tomorrowland shuttles (Global Journey)
Tomorrowland offers partner transport each year through Global Journey packages: buses from European cities, Dreamville shuttles and more. These work well if you buy a full festival package, but are usually limited to set windows (often Thursday for arrival and Monday for departure) and organiser hubs. Check the festival's official website for 2026 offers. Less flexible than a private transfer from your arrival airport.
Option 3 — Private taxi or chauffeur (direct transfer)
A private transfer from BRU or CRL to the official taxi drop-off point is the most comfortable option after a long flight: no connections, flight tracking, meet & greet in arrivals and a fixed price quoted upfront. Ideal for groups, families or campers with gear.
Official drop-off: Kiss&Ride (Schommelei)
Important: taxis are not allowed to drop off at the festival entrance. The official point for taxis and private hire is the Kiss&Ride zone, Schommelei. A free shuttle runs to the entrance every 10 minutes. Your chauffeur drops you at the organiser's designated point — not at the festival gate — avoiding queues and complying with local rules.
Practical tips: luggage, camping and timing
- Luggage: choose a suitable vehicle if carrying tents, sleeping bags and coolers. A van or minibus is often better than a sedan.
- Timing: peak demand hits each weekend's opening Friday and closing Sunday nights. Book your slot in advance.
- Delayed flight: provide your flight number when booking for automatic tracking.
- Return trip: book Boom → airport early; demand is very high on Sunday evening.
What budget to expect?
Prices vary by airport, vehicle class and passenger count. In Belgium, the cheapest market offers often sit around €60–100 in a sedan for BRU ↔ Boom and €120–150 from Charleroi — frequently without meet & greet or a guaranteed fixed price. At TaxiCo, your fixed rate includes flight tracking, name-sign meet & greet and licensed English-speaking chauffeurs: from €115 from Zaventem and €250 from Charleroi (full vehicle breakdown on our Tomorrowland page).
Summary
For an international festival-goer in a hurry, tired after a flight or travelling in a group, a private transfer from BRU or CRL offers the best comfort-to-predictability ratio. The train remains an economical option for light travellers. In all cases, your festival-side arrival point is Kiss&Ride — plan for the free shuttle to the entrance.
