Why Tomorrowland is worth the trip
Held in Boom, Belgium, Tomorrowland is the most famous electronic music festival on earth — two weekends of jaw-dropping stage design, the world’s biggest DJs, and travelers from over 200 countries. Getting there takes a little planning, but it’s far easier (and cheaper) than most people expect.
Getting there: flights
The closest major airport is Brussels (BRU), about 45 minutes from Boom. Brussels Charleroi (CRL) and Amsterdam (AMS) are budget-friendly alternatives within easy train distance. Book early — fares jump as the festival approaches.
Where to stay
Options range from the official on-site DreamVille campground to hotels in Antwerp (20 min by train) and Brussels (45 min). Antwerp is the sweet spot: lively, well-connected, and cheaper than central Brussels.

Money-saving tips
- Book flights 3–5 months out and stay flexible on dates.
- Fly into a secondary airport (Charleroi or Amsterdam) and take the train.
- Split a hotel or DreamVille tent with friends to cut nightly cost.
- Bring a refillable water bottle and a portable charger.
Getting from the airport
Skip the taxi queues after a long flight — pre-book a private airport transfer with Kiwitaxi and go straight from the terminal to your hotel.
Stay connected: get an eSIM
Skip pricey roaming charges — grab a local data Airalo eSIM before you fly so maps, ride-hailing and tickets work the moment you land.
