BXL Tour and Baloise Belgium Tour

On Sunday 22 June 2025

On Sunday 22 June, cycling enthusiasts will fall under the spell of not one, but two cycling races:

  • the BXL tour
  • the 5th stage of the Baloise Belgium Tour 

To ensure the smooth running of these races, our network is adapted to the itinerary of the racers. 

How to get there?

The start of the BXL Tour is at place des Palais/Paleizenplein

To make sure you do not miss a thing, STIB-MIVB takes you there. To reach the starting line of the BXL Tour, take:

  • Metro 2 or 6 to Trône/Troon

Do you prefer waiting for the racers at the finish next to the Atomium or watching the Baloise Belgium Tour take off instead? No problem, take:

  • metro 6 to the stop Heysel/Heizel
  • tram 3 to the stop Esplanade
  • tram 7 to the stop Heysel/Heizel
  • tram 51 or 93 to the stop Stade/Stadion
