Park close to Capitole Ghent with SparkSpot
A theatre visit is far more enjoyable when you know in advance where you can leave your car. SparkSpot offers a simple solution: you reserve a private parking space near Capitole Ghent in advance, often within walking distance of the venue. You choose the location that best matches your plans, pay securely online and receive clear instructions straight away. This gives you certainty upon arrival and avoids unnecessary driving around.
For local residents, SparkSpot is equally useful. Private spaces are often unused during working hours, weekends or evenings. Through the platform, owners can safely share these spaces without risk. Listing is free, and SparkSpot only charges commission when a booking happens. SparkSpot also handles communication and payments, which means little effort is required from the owner.
Capitole Ghent and its location
Capitole Ghent sits within the Krook sector of Ghent’s circulation plan, close to the Zuidpark, the Opera and the city’s main shopping streets. Its central position makes it an attractive venue, but it also sits in an area heavily impacted by traffic, especially during major events. The entire city centre lies within Ghent’s low-emission zone, meaning not every vehicle is allowed to enter without restrictions. Visitors coming by car therefore benefit from a little preparation.
Those arriving via the E17 can follow the Zuid route. From other directions, the city ring road is usually the most logical choice for drivers coming from outside the city.
Paid parking near Capitole Ghent
Several large Interparkings are located around Capitole Ghent, offering a reliable solution throughout the year. These car parks are generally open 24 hours a day and lie within an easy walking distance of the theatre.
Interparking Gent Zuid
Zuidparklaan, 9000 Ghent
- 1,043 spaces
- 3 spaces for visitors with reduced mobility
- 13 electric charging points
- Maximum vehicle height: 2 metres

Interparking Kouter
Kouter 31, 9000 Ghent
- 600 spaces

Interparking Center Parking
Korte Meer 22b, 9000 Ghent

These car parks are reliable, but during peak periods (weekends, the Ghent Festivities, major shows) they can fill up quickly. A reserved SparkSpot space can then be a valuable alternative.
The low-emission zone in Ghent
Ghent’s city centre is a low-emission zone. This means vehicles that do not meet environmental standards cannot enter freely. Capitole Ghent lies inside this zone, along with surrounding streets and many paid car parks.
Visitors should therefore check in advance whether their vehicle meets the requirements. Those who want to avoid the LEZ entirely are best off using a Park & Ride outside the city ring.
The circulation plan
Ghent is divided into six sectors. You cannot freely drive between sectors by car, as the circulation plan restricts traffic flow. This policy improves liveability, but it can be confusing for visitors. Anyone heading to Capitole Ghent should plan their route in advance, especially if they intend to park in a paid car park or have reserved a SparkSpot space. Google Maps often accounts for the circulation plan, but preparing in advance helps avoid confusion.
Capitole Ghent lies in the Krook sector and is best accessed via the Zuid route and the city ring. A little preparation — including the correct route and a chosen parking spot — saves time and frustration.
Accessible parking options
Capitole Ghent is equipped to welcome visitors with specific needs. For visitors with reduced mobility, parking nearby is not always easy. The Interparkings (Zuid, Kouter, Center) offer designated spaces for disabled visitors. The Reep car park also provides accessible facilities, although the Reep car park lies within the low-emission zone.
Inside the theatre, wheelchair spaces must be booked by phone. Visitors with limited mobility are advised to mention this in advance so arrangements can be made.
Use SparkSpot and reserve your space near Capitole Ghent
The combination of heavy city-centre traffic, limited parking availability, circulation restrictions and the low-emission zone means that parking near Capitole Ghent is often experienced as stressful. SparkSpot offers an alternative that gives you full control over your visit. A reserved private parking space means no queues, no driving around and no risk of turning up late.
For residents with a parking space to spare, SparkSpot is also a simple way to generate extra income. The platform only charges commission once a booking takes place, meaning there is no financial risk for the owner.
