Parking Zwijndrecht, Antwerp

Paid street parking in Zwijndrecht (Veerplein & Maasplein)

If you’re looking for parking Zwijndrecht, start with the paid on-street areas. The parking zones around Veerplein and Maasplein are typically where visitors end up paying, especially during weekdays.

• Typical paid hours: Mon–Wed 09:00–18:00; Thu–Sat 09:00–21:00
• Tariff: around €2.00–€2.20 per hour, with a daily maximum around €8 (confirm on the signs or payment screen)
• Parking limit: on Veerplein parking is typically limited to 2 hours

Sundays and public holidays are usually free in these paid zones, so they can be the best option if your schedule is flexible.

Blue zones and parking disc rules

Besides paid streets, you may also run into blue zones. These are the areas where you park using a parking disc and a maximum time limit applies (often up to 2 hours). The exact hours depend on the zone, so rely on the sign at the start of the street.

If you arrive in a hurry, blue zones are still predictable—just make sure your disc time matches the rules active at that moment.

How to pay in Zwijndrecht (meters, apps, and 4411)

For paid parking, you usually have multiple payment routes:

• Parking meters: pay at the machine (cash and/or card depending on the meter)
• Mobile parking: start/stop your session in a parking app so you only pay for the time you need
• 4411: you can pay via SMS and (in many cases) also via an app or website

Always enter the correct details (license plate and zone/session rules). A small transaction fee may apply depending on the payment method.

Public parking lots near town hall, tram stop, and the cemetery

If street parking around the busiest areas is tight, look for nearby public parking lots. Examples in Zwijndrecht include:

• Parking Gemeentehuis Zwijndrecht — Binnenplein 1 (public lot)
• Parking Tramhalte Zwijndrecht Dorp — Richard Orlentstraat 5 (public lot)
• Parking Kerkhof Zwijndrecht — Kerkhofstraat 31 (public lot)

These are good alternatives when you want to avoid “spot hunting” on the street—especially during peak arrival times.

When you’re commuting: consider Park&Ride at the city edge

If your trip is mainly about getting into Antwerp quickly, a Park&Ride can reduce stress: you park outside the busiest core and continue by tram/bus/further transit. For the latest options and any temporary offers, check the P&R information from the public transport operator before you leave.

If you’d prefer to plan ahead for when street zones are busy, you can also check Mobypark for future availability—spots can appear or disappear over time.
