Parking at VUB
For those arriving by car please be aware of the following parking recommendations. Beginning at the crossroad Général Jacques/Boulevard du Triomphe (right hand side):
- Access 8: The only issue is finding an open parking space, but worth trying since it is near the Sportshalls. Since September 2023 you can enter via access 8 to the campus for access to the sports complex and then park in the designated zones between entrances 8 and 6. This will be free for the first three hours. In principle, long enough for the athletes to change clothes, indulge in some sporting activity, shower, get dressed, have another drink in the cafeteria and then head back home. Anyone who stays longer than those three hours will have to pay a contribution of €2 per additional hour when leaving via entrance 8 or exits 7 or 6.
- Access 6: this is an option for access but please note that there is a guard waiting for visitors, and you must register with security there to gain access to the campus.
- All other accesses are provided exclusively for VUB residents who need to be on campus for work, study or research.
- Finally, there is street parking off VUB-site, along the Boulevard du Triomphe.
