Naturally, the further away you park from the center, the longer you will have to walk.
Parking on a regular basis in Liege’s center
If you have to be in the center of the city on a regular basis, you could consider buying a "vignette".
This allows you to park for an unlimited period of time in a non-free parking zone in the center of Liège.
You can buy such a vignette on a yearly basis for 600€ or on a semestrial basis for 350€.
How does it work? Just place the vignette in a visible way on your windscreen.
Shop & Drive parking spots
The city of Liège provides about 220 parking spaces for quick shopping.
These Smart parking spots, called ‘Shop & Drive’ are free as long as you park for 30 min.
This allows you to park shortly, go for a quick purchase and come back to your car.
These parking spots are equipped with smart sensors that will be able to tell if a car is parked and for how long it has been there.
It gets even better: real-time parking information is displayed on an app and/or the city’s website.
This means you will be able to know exactly the number of free parking spots that are available. Sweet right?
But be careful, as soon as you exceed the 30 min parkings, parking officers will be alerted.
The streets that will be provided with sensors are:
- Rue Grétry (30 parking spots)
- Rue des Guillemins (29 parking spots)
