If you come to FOSDEM by car, you can park your car on the campus. The main parking is located between Janson and the K building. The entrance to the parking is on Av. Franklin Roosevelt next to the H building. Note: there is no entrance from Av. Adolphe Buyl.

An additional parking on the campus is available next to the U building at Av. Antoine Depage. Note that this is a one-way street, only accessible from Av. Franklin Roosevelt.

You can park on the campus at your own risk. Do not leave any valuables in your car!

The parkings of the campus can be very busy since early morning during both days. An alternative is to leave your car in the Parking Sablon-Poelaert, from there to take the Tram 8, direction Roodebeek. Then follow the instructions above.

Please note that most streets surrounding the ULB campus are located in a so-called blue zone. Parking in blue zones is free but limited to a maximum of two hours from Monday to Saturday. A parking disc indicating your arrival time is mandatory. Blue zone signs are placed at the zone’s boundaries and are therefore not repeated on every street within the zone. Nearby streets may fall under paid parking regulations, so be sure to check before leaving your car.

The ULB campus Solbosch is within the Brussels Low Emission Zone (LEZ). Drivers of cars registered abroad are required to register before entering the LEZ, or risk being fined. More information can be found on the LEZ website.
