Sunday 6 september
All day

Ghent Car-free is part of Mobility Week, which is an initiative to make people more aware of sustainable mobility. Cities all across Flanders organise car-free moments with numerous extra activities.

Tip: This year, Ghent Car-free falls on the same day as Sunday Shopping. 

How to reach Ghent?

A zone at Zuid (Woodrow Wilsonplein, Koning Albertpark, B401 and Jules De Bruyckerdreef) will be closed off for motorised traffic between 6 am and 9 pm. 

Public transport

Will you travel by train? Tram 1 or 3 will take you from the Gent-Sint-Pieters railway station to Zuidpark and buses 33, 70, 71, 76, 77 or 78 will take you from the Gent Dampoort railway station to the city centre. 

More information on public transport in Ghent you will find here

By car

Park your car at a park and ride site on the outskirts of the city and use public transport to reach the city centre. 

 

By taxi

Taxis will operate normally and may enter the car-free zone at walking speed. 

By coach

Use a car park at the edge of the car-free zone: car park  Dampoort or car park Yachtdreef.

This activity takes place on a location within the low emission zone

Are you driving to Ghent? First check whether you may enter the city centre with your vehicle. Clean vehicles may enter the city centre free of charge, polluting vehicles have to pay. Is your vehicle allowed to enter, but do you not have a Belgian or Dutch number plate? You will ALWAYS have to register!
