Map: SSE Arena Belfast and the listed hotels
Getting to SSE Arena Belfast
Nearest station is Titanic Quarter Halt
The closest railway stop to the arena is Titanic Quarter Halt, about a ten to fifteen minute walk away. Trains to this halt run roughly every thirty minutes from Belfast's main stations.
Lanyon Place and Grand Central as alternative rail options
Visitors can also travel via Belfast's Lanyon Place or Grand Central stations in the city centre, from where it is around a twenty to thirty minute walk along the waterfront to the arena, or a short bus or taxi ride. Local taxis are usually available right outside these stations.
Metro buses and Glider run direct to the arena
Translink Metro buses 26, 26A and 26B leave Belfast city centre from Donegall Square West and stop right outside the arena at the Odyssey stop, with the journey taking around eight to ten minutes. The G2 Glider rapid transit service also links the city centre directly to the Odyssey stop.
Airport Express bus serves the arena
The Airport Express 600 service connects George Best Belfast City Airport with Belfast city centre and stops at the arena en route. This same Translink corridor also links the venue to the Europa Buscentre.
Official Odyssey Car Park offers 1,500 spaces
The arena's own Odyssey Car Park provides around 1,500 first come first served spaces spread across front, rear and Riverside areas, including disabled bays and electric vehicle charging points. Entry and exit now use a ticketless ANPR camera system rather than a physical ticket.
Exiting the car park can take about an hour after busy events
Because of the capacity of roads around Odyssey Place, it can take approximately an hour to drive out of the car park once a big event finishes. Drivers are advised to allow extra time for this post event congestion.

Around twenty minutes on foot from the city centre
The arena sits in the Titanic Quarter on the east bank of the River Lagan and is roughly a fifteen to twenty minute walk from Belfast city centre, crossing the Lagan Weir and Queen Elizabeth Bridge. It is a well signposted and largely level route along the waterfront.

Accessible drop-off at the South VIP entrance
Visitors with disabilities can be dropped off at the roadside by the South VIP Entrance, and are asked to do this as quickly as possible rather than parking there. Disabled parking bays requiring a displayed blue badge are provided in the main car park on a first come first served basis.
