Parking Bello Cosi Aarschot: check the street zone before you park

If you’re looking for parking Bello Cosi Aarschot (Schaluin 117), the fastest way to avoid fines is to park according to the zone signs on the street. Aarschot uses different rules depending on where you leave your car (paying zone vs. blue zone vs. free areas), and the time limits are enforced daily.

Mobypark currently has no bookable spots within 3 km of Bello Cosi Aarschot—so for now your best plan is to use the public rules below. Still, it can be worth checking Mobypark before you go, in case availability appears closer to your arrival.

Pay-and-display streets (paying zone) + the “free quarter”

The paying zone mainly covers Aarschot city centre and is regulated every day between 9:00 and 18:00 (not on Sundays/holidays and not on 11 July). You pay via the parking machine (ticket-based payment).

You also get a free 15 minutes at any time in the paying zone: press the green button on the machine to get a free ticket. If you want a more predictable arrival when time windows are tight, you can still compare public parking against any bookable alternatives that may show up on Mobypark.

Blue zone with a parking disc (maximum 3 hours)

The blue zone applies every day between 9:00 and 18:00 (again: not on Sundays/holidays and not on 11 July). With a valid blue parking disc, the maximum stay is 3 hours.

In parts of the Demervallei parking area (Parking Centrum in the Demervallei), rules can differ—on the parking Demervallei, a resident card isn’t valid there, so always follow the signage and park with the disc where required. If you’re coming during the day and need a reliable option, check Mobypark as a fallback for any future bookable availability.

Short-stay sensor parking (max 30 minutes free)

If you only need a quick stop, sensor parking can be useful. There are sensor short-stay places on the Grote Markt and for the station area (near Velo), where you can park for up to 30 minutes for free and you don’t need a parking ticket or a blue disc.

Parking longer than 30 minutes can lead to a retribution fine of €25. For longer stays around Bello Cosi, plan your parking time carefully—and if you’d rather avoid hunting for space, check Mobypark for any bookable parking options that become available later.

Station parkings and other mostly-free areas

For evening and weekend parking, consider the NMBS station parkings (with barrier access). These are free between 19:00 and 7:00 for users, and they’re also free on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays—with exceptions for certain events (where NMBS may offer a parking forfait).

For day-time options, Aarschot also notes that many other legal parking locations are free and unlimited (including much of Parking Centrum in the Demervallei), but some smaller sections are blue-zone controlled—so verify the ground markings/signs when you arrive.

Drivers with a parking card for persons with a disability can park unlimited and free in Aarschot, including in blue and paying zones.

If you want to compare parking choices quickly, use the date/time in the search flow on Mobypark to check whether any future bookable spots appear for your visit—then choose the public option that matches your planned arrival time.
