Low-emission zone and car parks

If you come in your own car from Spain, register it before entering the low-emission zone, free of charge, on the city's website; the Ghent registration is also valid for Antwerp. With a Belgian hire car it is not necessary. The centre is divided into sectors that are not connected by car: park in one of the underground car parks, such as the Vrijdagmarkt one, and continue on foot. For a day trip from Brussels, the train is much more convenient.
