WHERE TO PARK IN ANTWERP
Parking on the street
Always check carefully which parking rules apply. The closer to the centre, the more you pay and the shorter the time you can park. Only residents with parking permits and certain permit holders are allowed to park on the street in the old city centre.
P+R sites
There are several P+R sites in the city periphery where you can leave your car and from which you can easily access the city centre with public transportation.
Public car parks
You can also park your car in one of the many public car parks.
The Provincial Government Building of Antwerp
- The Provincial Government Building of Antwerp has an underground parking garage with entrance via the Koningin Elisabethlei. Be aware of the very limited places and the fact that they have to be booked in advance.

HOW TO GET TO ANTWERP
BY TRAIN
Antwerp lies in the middle between Paris Nord and Amsterdam. Antwerp has three main train stations: ‘Antwerpen-Centraal’, ‘Antwerpen Berchem’ and ‘Antwerpen Zuid’. We recommend ‘Antwerpen-Centraal’ to get to the venues.
Eurostar is the international high-speed train between the UK, France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. Eurostar does not stop in Antwerp, but in Brussels ‘Zuid/ Midi’ station. From Brussels ‘Zuid/ Midi’ station you can take the train to Antwerpen-Centraal.
Note: If you have another connection in Belgium before or after your journey with Eurostar, you’ll need a specific ticket for this connection. We advise to buy the ‘connection’ ticket in addition to your international ticket at fixed price of 8,90 euro in second class (or 12,40 euro in first class). Buy your ‘connection’ ticket online.
BY PLANE
There are three airports in Belgium: ‘Antwerp International Airport’, ‘Brussels Airport (Zaventem)’ and ‘Brussels South Airport (Charleroi)’. There is a direct train (about 30 minutes) from Brussels Zaventem to Antwerp Central station.
We are pleased to announce that special rates have been secured in collaboration with the Lufthansa Group for participants attending the Eurochambres Congress 2024.
