BY CAR TO A PARK AND RIDE SITE
If you want to park your car for the day, you can do so for free at one of the park & ride sites outside the Low Emission Zone. Park & Ride Weba/Decathlon (200 places) is situated closest to the museum and also has a free shuttle service to Bij Sint-Jacobs. If you have a folding bike, it will take you 10 minutes to get to the museum from here.
BY CAR TO A CAR PARK IN THE CITY CENTRE
The nearest fee-paying car park is Parking Vrijdagmarkt (648 places). Keep in mind that you can enter Ghent only via certain routes. That is why you cannot go from Ottogracht street straight to Beverhoutplein square by car. Plan your itinerary beforehand with one of the digital route planners.
Attention! The city centre of Ghent is a Low Emission Zone (LEZ). Check your car and avoid a fine.
