Flanders Expo is easy to reach by bike. Lots of municipalities are within cycling distance. A free, secure bike parking area will be provided just next to the main entrance. You can navigate here.

You live too far away to come by bike? Park & Bike is a good option. Bring a bike in your car, park your car at an easy to reach and free parking area and cycle to Flanders Expo:

• P+R Watersportbaan (Zuiderlaan 9000, 9000 Ghent – a 5.8 km bike ride)
• Hypermarkt Carrefour (Kortrijksesteenweg 1133, 9051 St. Denijs Westrem - a 2.6 km bike ride). You can park here on condition that you do not park in the nearby car parks of Quick and Lunch Garden. These establishments will still be open, so we ask you not to obstruct the visitors of these places.

We kindly ask our KNTXT visitors to leave the car parks tidy.
