Parking

It’s recommended to travel to and in Antwerp by public transport. If you are travelling by car, take the following into account:

  • There are P+R zones where you can park on various main roads into Antwerp. They are ideal places to switch to bus, tram or bike a few kilometres from the campus.
  • The Antwerp city centre and part of Linkeroever (Antwerp’s left bank) are a low-emission zone: highly polluting vehicles are not allowed into the city. 
  • Keep in mind that the zone around the Stadscampus is a residential area with a speed limit of 20 km/h. Pedestrians freely make use of the entire road.
  • Take possible road works and events into account.
  • Within Antwerp, you can make use of the taxi service.

Campus Drie Eiken en Campus Groenenborger have free university parking spots.

Carpooling is not only fun and ecological, but also good for your wallet and you get to meet new people. Are you looking for a car ride or a fellow passenger, occasionally or daily? Take a look at our carpool platform.
