Travelling to ITM

Owned bike

There are bicycle racks along the street in Kronenburgstraat. There is also a small bike rack right at the clinic entrance (through the gate on the left) where you can park your bike.

Shared bike

Don't have your own bike at your disposal? There is a Velo station (name "Tropisch Instituut") right in front of the clinic entrance. There are other options for renting a bike as well.

Low emission zone

The most polluting cars do not have access to the low emission zone in Antwerp. This applies to most diesel cars produced before 2005 and gasoline cars produced before 1992. Check whether you are allowed to enter the city with your vehicle. The city has no database of foreign cars. Therefore, you should always register your car, which should be done no later than 24 hours after entering the low emission zone. If you have to pay for admission, you must apply for your permit no later than one day before you plan on coming to Antwerp.

Parking

Parking your car in Antwerp can be expensive, as you’ll have to pay to park in most of the streets. Spaces are limited as well. Since 1 August 2023, only residents and permit holders are allowed to park on the street in the city centre.

If you do come by car, the following options are available to you:

1. Park-and-Rides (P+R)

Park your car at a low cost and without a time limit in one of the Park-and-Rides (P+R) close to the city centre. Then hop on a tram or bus to travel to the city centre. Will you park in P+R Merksem, P+R Luchtbal or P+R Linkeroever? Buy a combined ticket in the De Lijn app and pay for your parking and return ticket all in one at a cheaper rate.
