The good questions.
How can I get here and reach the centre?
By train, plane, coach or car: plan your arrival using the official links above, then check connections and timetables with your transport operator.
How can I plan a visit with specific access needs?
Consult accessibility resources, venue-specific assessments and the venues' teams. Access requirements vary between buildings and routes; our selection does not guarantee a venue's accessibility.
Should I book visits in advance?
Some visits require a booking or time slot. Check each venue's official listing before setting out, especially for Art Nouveau houses and European institutions.
