The AFAS Dome lies at the R. Grégoirplein square at the crossing of two large traffic axes, the Bisschoppenhoflaan/Schijnpoortweg, having an east–west orientation, and the Burgemeester Gabriel Theunisbrug, going north over the
Albert Canal. In its immediate proximity also lies the Deurne highway ramp of the
R1 ring road, as well as the
Singel urban ring road. Also, nearby lie three car parks operated by the Sportpaleis, and two more car parks, of a nearby Gamma shop and the Antwerp slaughterhouse, which are also available when large events are held. Even so, traffic near the AFAS Dome can get extremely dense when such events are held, leading to large traffic jams and causing a nuisance with the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. The AFAS Dome is also well connected to the Antwerp public transport system. Underground, next to the AFAS Dome, lies
Sport premetro station, which is serviced by tram routes
2,
3 and
6, running between either Luchtbal or Merksem to the north and the city centre and the western or southern parts of the city in the other direction, via the
Antwerp premetro network. Above ground also lies the terminus of
tram route 12, following an above-ground trajectory toward the city centre and
Zuid neighbourhood to the south. In addition to these,
tram route 5 also has a stop called "Sportpaleis" near the premetro exit at the Ten Eekhovelei to the south of the complex. The route runs between
Deurne and
Wijnegem to the east and the city centre and
Linkeroever to the west. Finally, it is also serviced by bus lines 19 and 413. ==See also==
