With your own vehicle

Do you have customers who want to come to Antwerp in their own car? That's also possible. However, it is important to know that Antwerp's city centre is a low-emission zone. Register your vehicle before you head to Antwerp and find out immediately whether you can enter the zone. In any case, we advise you to park at one of the park-and-rides at the outskirts of the city and take public transport to the centre. In the Historical Centre, visitors are not allowed to park on the street.
