Accommodation
For the absolute closest stay to Tomorrowland, look for accommodations directly in Boom. However, if you are visiting, because the town itself is small, options fill up instantly, making the nearby historical city of Mechelen (roughly 15–20 minutes away) an excellent and highly accessible alternative.
