Parking Tilburg University, Tilburg

Parking Tilburg University is easiest when you start with the on-campus lots. Tilburg University asks visitors to use campus parking (Warandelaan and Professor Cobbenhagenlaan) to reduce pressure in the surrounding residential area—so you’ll have a smoother arrival and less chance of wasting time driving around.

Campus visitor parking (Warandelaan and Professor Cobbenhagenlaan)

For most visitors coming by car, the main option is parking on the Tilburg University campus. The largest lot is at Warandelaan (reached via Bredaseweg), and there are also parking lots at Professor Cobbenhagenlaan.

• Simon building: parking lots accessible from Cobbenhagenlaan and from Academielaan
• Montesquieu building: parking lots in the basement
• Academia building: parking lots available at the building
• Other campus areas: additional lots before entrances (including Reitse Poort and Reitse Toren areas)

If you’re driving in for a lecture or meeting and want to check whether any spaces can be reserved for your dates, you can still check Mobypark for future availability (right now Mobypark shows no bookable spots for this location).

Parking costs and payment (what visitors pay)

Visitor parking on campus is pay-to-enter at the barrier. The posted visitor rate is €1.40 per hour, with a maximum of €7.00 per day. You can pay with a debit card or credit card at the barrier.

For practical tips on longer stays and after-hours options, see the FAQ.

P+R Transferium Tilburg West (Universiteit) for free and overnight parking

If your visit is longer (or you don’t want to worry about campus availability), P+R Transferium Tilburg West (Universiteit) is a strong alternative. Grounding info indicates it’s free and the site is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for both entry and exit.

It’s located near the university area (including Statenlaan, Tilburg, and near the NS station Tilburg Universiteit / Troelstrastraat), so you can combine parking with public transport for the last part of your trip.

Street parking, garages, and permits in Tilburg

Outside the university lots, you may also find paid street parking and municipal garages in Tilburg. In the paid-parking zones, tariffs depend on where you park and when. In the city centre, Tilburg’s municipal guidance describes street parking as offering a day ticket (€25), with payment possible by pin card or mobile.

Residents and businesses in permit areas may have access to permits or visitor arrangements—so follow the local signage near where you park. If you park where paid parking applies and you don’t pay, you can receive a parking fine.

Disabled parking on campus

Tilburg University provides disabled parking for visitors who have a disabled parking permit/card. Dedicated spaces are available in multiple areas on campus (including lots near Warande, temporary lots near Warande, areas behind Dante, and several lots for access at the Simon building and Montesquieu basement). Additional spaces can also be found near Academia building and at entrance areas such as Reitse Poort and Reitse Toren.

If you’re visiting with a disabled permit, look for the designated areas and the instructions at the relevant campus parking location.
