Getting there and staying
The Summit takes place at one meeting point in the heart of Bruges, a city you can walk end to end.
The International Rehabilitation Summit will take place at Concertgebouw Brugge and the Bruges Meeting & Convention Centre (BMCC). Located only a few steps apart in the centre of Bruges, the two venues form a connected and inspiring setting for the Summit. Both are within walking distance of numerous hotels, historic landmarks and world-famous museums.
- Concertgebouw Brugge
- ’t Zand 34, 8000 Bruges
- BMCC
- Beursplein 1, 8000 Bruges
Thanks to the compact nature of the city, many accommodation options in and around the historic centre are within walking distance of the Summit venues BMCC and Concertgebouw.
