Mobility Knokke-Heist
How to get to Knokke-Heist without issues?
The popular seaside resort serves as the backdrop for the start of the time trials during the 2021 UCI Road World Championships. As the riders will cycle through the town centre for the first few miles, a number of roads will be closed to all traffic. It is therefore not advisable to travel to Knokke-Heist by car. There are plenty of alternatives to easily get to the epicentre of this cycling festival.
Bicycle
The best way to get to the World Championships time trial easily is by bike.
- Every destination remains accessible and there are no detours.
- Free, manned bicycle stands at the station, the St. Margaret's Church or on the Rubensplein. You can safely park your bicycle there.
Park-and-Bike car parks will be set up on the periphery of Knokke-Heist. These car parks are easy to access from the motorway and are no more than a 30-minute bicycle ride from the event venue. The route to the track will be marked.
