With a new parking policy, a zone for destination traffic only, and additional parking options on the city's outskirts, Bruges aims to keep tourist search traffic out of the city center. Visitors will now be able to park above ground for a maximum of 2 hours. Between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM, the inner city within the canals will become a destination traffic zone. The Steenstraat and Rozenhoedkaai will be added to the pedestrian zone.
These measures are intended to ensure residents can find parking more easily and to create more space for pedestrians, cyclists, and people with reduced mobility. At the same time, Bruges wants to remain a welcoming and accessible city for everyone who lives, works, shops, or visits. The new approach is named ‘Door & Door Brugge’.
