Getting to and from the Stadium
There will be shuttle services between the city centre and the stadium. Police colleagues in Bruges strongly advise that away fans do not travel independently to the stadium and avoid the surrounding area.
Eurostar travellers: For those travelling via Brussels, please be aware that Union Saint-Gilloise v Marseille will take place in Brussels on this day. There will be a significant policing presence. My advice: head straight to Bruges unless you have overnight accommodation in Brussels.

We have been advised by the local police that all supporters are strongly advised to use the free shuttle busses in the city centre to and from the stadium, which takes around 10-15 minutes. Busses will operate from the square “Vrijdagmarkt” and will start to depart from around 19.00 until 20.15.
The meeting point for the shuttle busses (Vrijdagmarkt), is situated approx 600 metres from the Eiermarkt. Look out for LED boards marking the meeting point.
