Parking Fort 2 - Wommelgem, Antwerp

Parking Fort 2 - Wommelgem is all about choosing the right on-site lot early, especially if you’re visiting for a museum stop or a planned activity. Below are the practical parking points used by visitors to Fort 2, plus route tips so you can get parked and inside faster.

Parking at Fort 2: parking 1 and parking 2

Fort 2 is accessed via Fort II-straat (address area: Fort II straat, 2160 Wommelgem). Once you’re on-site, you’ll mainly look for parking 1 and parking 2, which are used as reference points for visitors and activities.

• Parking 1: used as the meeting/arrival point for guided visits and referenced for access to the main museum area (at/near the football field, opposite the relevant on-site café/restaurant).
• Parking 2: referenced for other Fort II activities (for example, some local venues indicate parking 2 for visitors).

If you arrive at the same time as a group, parking 1 tends to be the most in-demand because it’s repeatedly used for meeting points.

Where to park for the Fort 2 museums (WO 1 & WO 2 / Kanonnengalerij)

The WO 1 & WO 2 museums (including the Kanonnengalerij) are located in the main front building. The directions provided for visitors point you to parking 1 by the football field, opposite the on-site taverne used as a landmark.

So if your plan is museums first, aim for parking 1 and then follow the on-site signs/paths toward the main front building.

Accessible parking for reduced mobility

Fort 2 also notes accessible parking for visitors with a disability. Because parts of the approach can be difficult (historic access roads/cobbles), there are parking spaces in the dry moat specifically for people with reduced mobility.

If you’re using the on-site accessible lift inside the main areas, plan for a key request via the relevant associations/venues during your visit.

Best car approach: use Fort II-straat

For drivers, the published access route is via Fort II-straat, located between Autolei (R11) and Herentalsebaan (N116). This route is the most straightforward way to reach the Fort 2 area by car.

When you’re planning your arrival, leave a little buffer for turning and walking from the parking area to the main entrance/buildings.

If parking is tight during guided walks or events

Guided historical walks (for example, the last Saturday of the month, excluding December) use parking 1 as the meeting point (the waiting room opposite a known on-site taverne landmark), with departure at 14:00. That means parking 1 can fill up around the arrival window.

On busy days, consider parking 2 if it’s indicated for your specific activity, and arrive earlier than you think you need. If you want to keep an eye on extra nearby options that may appear over time, you can also check Mobypark for future availability around Fort 2.
