I need to park in Belfast city centre on the odd occasion (Mon-Fri, all day during working hours) and was wondering if you good people know of any cheap parking around the city centre/lower Ormeau/Dublin Road/GVS direction?

Thanks in advance. :)

  • Ormeau Avenue - in front of the Fire Station is only 60p per hour, IIRC. However, it is small and you'd have to be there early.

    the car park beside st Georges Market is £5 a day,

    just don't leave your car in it too late at night as its not the best area, but is manned during working hours

  • the prices for both car parks mentioned have recently increased.

    the one on ormeau ave is called charlotte street car park, it was £5.40 a day but this has increased and as a result is not full as early.

    the car park on Cromac Street is now £5.40 a day was £4.50

    we park at north side park and ride - only about £3 ish for a full days shopping - not sure exact prices. Then bus drops you off in the city centre.

    Castle Court shopping centre are running a £4.50 all day rate at the minute. Covered, and fairly secure. Pretty much guaranteed to get a space too. Failing that, as mentioned by BOBS the Translink park and rides are pretty decent too.
  • :jI have found the Castle Street Multi Storey Car Park at the back of Castle Court is only £4 per day Mon - Fri which is excellent as I work in the City Centre so its location is perfect!! also its only £6 for the day at the weekend so I can still park cheaply when I'm shopping..

    Its open 24 / 7 and its secure with CCTV and an attendant on duty at all times.. hope this helps anyone seeking cheap parking in Belfast Centre. :j

    Strange how you've also posted a recommendation for the Castle Street car park on the TripAdvisor forums today.

    You would almost think you worked for them.
