Where to Park for the Christmas Market in Antwerp?

Featured image

Each year, the center of Antwerp is transformed into one of Belgium’s most beautiful Christmas markets. For both young and old, it’s a magical experience to walk through the city and soak in the festive atmosphere. From strolling past Christmas stalls to ice skating on rinks, there’s something for everyone.

However, this busy period can also make parking a challenge. Visitors are not allowed to park above ground in the historic center. So where is the best place to park during your visit to the Antwerp Christmas Market? In this blog, we list the best options so you can park stress-free and enjoy the festivities.

Parking in Antwerp during the Christmas Market

Parking garages in the city center

If you want to park close to the Christmas market, you only have the option of using underground parking garages, which are paid facilities. The following garages are the closest to the Christmas market:
  • Parking Grote Markt: This parking garage is the most centrally located, but it also comes with a price. The rate is €4.20 per hour, and for 24 hours, you pay €30.50. It's important to note that the maximum vehicle height allowed is 1.90m.
    Address: E. Van Dijckkaai 3, 2000 Antwerp.
  • Parking Brabo: This above-ground parking lot costs €3.20 per hour, with a 24-hour rate of €22.90.
    Address: Kammenstraat 2, 2000 Antwerp.
  • Parking Groenplaats: Parking rates here are €3.10 per hour and €27.90 for 24 hours. Just like Parking Grote Markt, the maximum vehicle height is 1.90m.
    Address: Groenplaats 46, 2000 Antwerp.

Free parking in Antwerp

Parking in the city center of Antwerp can be expensive and navigating through the busy streets can be stressful. Fortunately, there are several free Park & Ride (P&R) options on the outskirts of the city.

Here, you can park worry-free and take a bus or tram to the city center:
  • Park & Ride Keizershoek Merksem
  • Park & Ride Metropolis
  • Park & Ride Melsele
  • Park & Ride Linkeroever Blancefloerlaan

Reserve a parking spot in advance

If you want to be sure of a parking space and avoid the risk of arriving to a full parking lot, you also have the option to reserve a spot in advance. This way, you can enjoy the Christmas market without the stress of wondering if there will be available parking.

With SparkSpot, you can easily find and reserve all available parking spaces. This guarantees that your car is safely parked, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy the Christmas market.

With these parking options, you can fully immerse yourself in Antwerp’s magical Christmas atmosphere.
