Low emission zone

The entire Antwerp city center and a part of Linkeroever are low emission zones. This means that you are no longer allowed to enter this zone with a polluting car. Lotto Arena itself lies just outside the low emission zone, but many of our car parks lie within it. The same applies to large parts of the Singel, the Noorderlaan from Kinepolis onwards, and a large part of the Blancefloerlaan on Linkeroever. Therefore, chances of ending up in the low emission zone on the way to Lotto Arena are very high.

Take the precaution of checking in advance whether your vehicle is allowed to enter Antwerp.
Or better yet: park your car at a Park & Ride (P+R) and use public transport for the remainder of your journey.
