Harry Potter: The Exhibition runs at Brussels Expo (Palais 2) until November 8, 2026, with timed entry slots every 30 minutes and an immersive visit lasting 60 to 90 minutes. Original costumes, Hogwarts sets, potion classes and Quidditch flying: the event draws families in particular, which raises a practical question as soon as you arrive.
The cost of the ride
The fare is fixed and confirmed before you leave, regardless of your starting point in Brussels. No surprises from traffic on the Heysel plateau, an area that already concentrates several attractions (Atomium, Mini-Europe, ING Arena) and can get busy on certain days.
For a family outing or a trip with friends, a van is available at the same fixed-fare model, useful for a group wanting to arrive and leave together.
How long it takes
From central Brussels, expect around 15 to 25 minutes to reach Brussels Expo. During busier periods, particularly weekends and school holidays (the exhibition running through summer and into autumn 2026), build in extra time, especially if your timed slot falls in late morning or early afternoon.
Arriving a little ahead of your booked slot also lets you enjoy the site without rushing, since entry happens at a fixed time.
How pickup works
Heading to the exhibition: your driver meets you at the exact address given at booking, with a 5-minute grace period built in after the scheduled time. Timing your ride around your exact slot avoids any stress from a delay that could make you miss your timed entry.
Heading back to Brussels: after 60 to 90 minutes of visiting, often followed by a stop at the gift shop, a pre-booked taxi avoids the hassle of finding transport as a large number of visitors leave the site at once.
What to know before booking
Groups: for bookings of 25 people or more, the exhibition's organizers require direct contact; on the transport side, one or several vans can be coordinated for a school group or a birthday outing.
Time slot: for entry slots offered every 30 minutes, plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the time shown on your ticket, and no later than 30 minutes past it, or you may need to wait for the next available slot.
Luggage: souvenirs and shop purchases are included at no extra cost on the return trip, with no particular restrictions.
Payment: pay online by card when booking, or directly with the driver by card or cash. No card surcharge applies either way.
Booking a round trip from the start, aiming for a return time around 90 minutes after your slot begins, guarantees a driver available at pickup, rather than relying on passing transport.
