Parking costs 10 euros.
This car park is located outside the low emission zone.
Please note! Parking space is limited and subject to change.
Low emission zone
The entire Antwerp city center and a part of Linkeroever are low emission zones. This means you are no longer allowed to enter this zone with a polluting car. The Sportpaleis itself lies just outside the low emission zone, but many of our car parks lie within it. The same applies to large parts of the Singel, the Noorderlaan from Kinepolis onwards, and a large part of the Blancefloerlaan on Linkeroever. Therefore, chances of ending up in the low emission zone on the way to the Sportpaleis are very high.
Take the precaution of checking in advance whether your vehicle is allowed to enter Antwerp.
Or better yet: park your car at a Park & Ride (P+R) and use public transport for the remainder of your journey.
Don't park on the street
The Sportpaleis is located in a blue zone with limited parking time during events. The parking spaces in the nearby streets are primarily reserved for local residents. Drivers from elsewhere must use their parking disc and can only park for 2 hours.
The use of the parking disc is mandatory - except for residents - from Monday to Friday from 6 p.m. to midnight and on Saturday, Sunday, and holidays from 9 a.m. to midnight.
Please note! During events at the Sportpaleis, there is increased parking inspection.
