By public transport
The train / SNCB
Forget congestion and parking problems. Make the right choice and come to the Two-Days Walk by train! Blankenberge railway station is just a few minutes’ walk from the starting point.
With the Weekend Ticket* you enjoy 50% discount on your round trip. If you are under 26, you can also opt for the very inexpensive Go Pass 1.
You can easily find timetables with the handy journey planner on nmbs.be or in the free SNCB app.
* Valid from Friday 7pm to Sunday evening.
De Lijn – The Coastal Tram
The most sustainable way to get around is with De Lijn and the Coastal Tram.
The start location is about 100 metres from the tram stop at the marina (stop “Park” ) or less than 500 metres from it at the railway station (stop “Station”).
For timetables, please refer to the De Lijn website.
De Lijn – Bus
The bus stop at the Grand Place is close to the start and finish point of the Two Days.
For timetables, please refer to the De Lijn website.
By car
All roads lead to… um… Blankenberge.
There are plenty of car parks scattered around the city. Note that most places are paying.
More information on parking in Blankenberge can be found on the website of Blankenberge.
If you come by car and prefer to avoid the hustle and bustle of the centre of Blankenberge, you can always park your car in Wenduine or Zeebrugge. The tram will then take you to about 400 metres from the start of the Two-Days Walk.
By private bus/coach
We recommend that everyone disembark and board at Blankenberge town hall. (John F. Kennedyplein 1) This is one of the few places where this is also allowed. This location is just a five-minute walk from the start site and traffic can circulate much more smoothly there.
Parking for buses is located in Groenestraat near the Sportdoze (Groenestraat 86).
Or, of course, by bike or on foot!
Especially for cyclists, we provide more than enough space to safely park your bike.
