Parking à proximité

Parking Sint-Michiels : Sint-Michielsplein 8 With the largest pedestrian zone in all of Flanders, Ghent rolls out the red carpet for cyclists and pedestrians. For drivers, things get a little more complicated. In its effort to promote a healthy and eco-friendly urban environment, the city has implemented a Low Emission Zone (LEZ). This zone covers the area within the city’s urban ring road—that is, the central core of Ghent, and in some places slightly beyond it. Access and traffic conditions are strict, so your vehicle needs to meet two criteria: it must use an eligible type of fuel and comply with the Euro emissions standard. The most polluting petrol and diesel vehicles are simply not allowed. If your car is permitted but doesn’t have a Belgian or Dutch number plate, you’ll need to register it online via the city’s official website. Finding a parking spot in Ghent is already a challenge, so you definitely won't find one that’s free and near all the main attractions. Between on-street spaces and public car parks, the latter will be cheaper and simpler when it comes to local regulations. If you’re really determined to avoid paying, you’ll find nine P+R (Park and Ride) options on the outskirts of Ghent. These car parks let you leave your vehicle for free and then reach the city centre easily by tram, bus, or shared transport.

À savoir

Ghent offers a range of benefits and discounts on transport and attractions through the Ghent City Card. It’s a great way to explore the city at your own pace while taking advantage of the many deals included.
