HOW TO GET THERE

BY Train...Half price!

Travel by train to Le Botanique and back for half price! Le Botanique is easily accessible by train. With a Bravo!Ticket Botanique, you can make the round trip at half price, without worrying about parking. The discount code for this train ticket can be found on your concert ticket.

Coming from abroad? Combine your Bravo! Ticket Botanique with a ticket valid on the foreign rail network up to the Belgian border.

Visit sncb.be/bravo! for more information.

  • Outward ticket: from any Belgian station to any station in the Brussels area, on the day of your concert.
  • Return ticket: from any station in the Brussels area to your departure station, on the day of your concert or the following day (most concerts finish at 10.30pm, so you can usually catch the last train).

BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Our aim is to let the concerts finish by 22h30, if possible, so our audience can get home by public transport. The evening's exact schedule is announced by 14h00 on the day of the show. Of course, we aren't immune to delays due to technical issues, or to concerts extending past curfew because of the audience's or the artist's enthusiasm!
