🌍 Low Emission Zone (LEZ)
Antwerp is dedicated to creating cleaner, healthier air for everyone. For this reason, the entire city center and a section of the Left Bank (Linkeroever) are designated as a Low Emission Zone (LEZ). The most polluting vehicles are no longer permitted to enter this area. Are you traveling to the city by car? Always make sure to check in advance whether your vehicle is allowed to enter the LEZ to avoid unexpected fines or complications during your stay.
Important Information
