Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking on the Queen's University Belfast Campus QUB issues car parking permits for a number of parking areas around the campus, while visitor parking is also available (QUB Estates Directorate). The main site has parking available on weekdays, as well as in the evenings and at weekends (Queen's Events). This makes an official visitor space particularly useful when your appointment falls outside the busiest daytime period. Riddel Hall offers [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) at all times, subject to availability (Queen's Events). Elms BT9 provides student parking in two car parks, with a charge of £1.50 for each entry (QUB Accommodation). The campus address is University Road, Short Strand, Belfast, BT7 1NN (QUB Estates Directorate), so permit holders and visitors should distinguish the university areas from nearby public parking when planning a stay. ## When Parking Is Hardest Around University Road Weekday daytime parking is likely to be most pressured because the campus operates on weekdays and also attracts students, staff and visitors. Evenings and weekends have parking available on the main site (Queen's Events), although events can change the pattern of demand. Riddel Hall is available for free parking at all times subject to availability (Queen's Events), but its spaces can fill during popular university activities. The PEC gives members and PEC users three hours of complimentary parking per day, with all vehicles required to follow its parking arrangements (Queen's Sport). Show map of Balmoral ## Other Car Parks Near QUB Riddel Hall is the clearest nearby official alternative for a free stay, with free parking at all times subject to availability (Queen's Events). Elms BT9 is another university-controlled option, with two car parks for students and a £1.50 charge per entry (QUB Accommodation). The PEC provides three hours of free parking per day for members and PEC users (Queen's Sport). These options suit drivers visiting university facilities rather than people looking for a general city-centre car park, so the destination and eligibility matter before leaving the car. The campus is in Short Strand, near Balmoral, and University Road is the principal address used for arrival. ## Parksy Spaces Near Queen's University Belfast For a full day, a driveway space in the Wellington Park area is 0.3 mi away and costs £3.50 a day. A parking space near Belfast City Hospital is 0.4 mi away at £3 a day. These lower daily rates suit students or staff who need to leave a car for classes or a working day.
