Hasselt

Stress-free travel to the cycling event of the year? Then it is best to go by bike. Hasselt remains accessible by bike at all times. An additional manned bike parking area is being provided at the finish zone (parking Kapermolen & parking Guffenslaan), close to the official fan zone. From the small city ring road, follow the directions to the bike parking area.

TIP: A signposted cycling route between the start and finish is provided, along the towpath next to the Albert Canal (about 30 minutes cycling). The route starts at the bike parking area.

Do you live too far away to be able to cycle to the European Championships in a single journey? Then park your car in one of the parking areas outside the city centre and use your bike to travel the last few kilometres. PARK & BIKE:

• Carpoolparking Hasselt-Zuid (from the south of Limburg and Wallonia)
• Parking Domein Kiewit, Putvennestraat (from the Netherlands & Antwerp)

From the parking areas, we have marked cycling routes leading to the fan zone.
