About Parking Antwerp in Belgium

Parking in Antwerp can be challenging, especially in the city center. Most of the on-street parking spaces are paid and have a limited duration. The parking zones and tariffs vary depending on the location and time of the day. You can pay for parking at the meter or via a mobile app. If you want to park for longer, you can use one of the public parking garages in the city. They are usually cheaper and safer than on-street parking. Another option is to park for free at one of the Park and Ride (P+R) locations at the outskirts of the city. From there, you can take public transport to the city center.
