les accès à Bruxelles

Tourist coaches or buses are part of the high volume of traffic in the city centre’s streets. Many coaches park in popular tourist areas such as the Grand-Place, the European district, Heysel Stadium and more. This creates a real problem in terms of space in the districts affected and in terms of routes between them. The Regional Development Plan (PRD) includes parking facilities for short-stay and long-stay parking, with spaces reserved for coaches.

Parking areas

There are three types of parking areas: short-stay, medium-stay and long-stay.

• Short stop: up to 30 minutes
• Medium stop: up to 5 hours
• Long stop: more than 5 hours

Therefore, coaches may park for up to 30 minutes in the short-stay parking areas. Tourists can therefore be dropped off and/ or picked up quickly there. Coaches may park for up to 5 hours in the medium-stay parking areas. These areas are perfect for coaches to wait while tourists visit a site or an attraction, or go to an event. Coaches may park for more than 5 hours in the long-stay parking areas. They may park there overnight.
