Christmas holiday dates 2026

For once, the whole of Belgium leaves at the same time. The French-speaking and Flemish communities have set the same winter holidays:

CommunityFirst dayLast day
Wallonia-Brussels FederationMonday 21 December 2026Sunday 3 January 2027
FlandersMonday 21 December 2026Sunday 3 January 2027

Many families leave on Saturday 19 December, right after the last school day. That is why our three stays start on that day or on Saturday 26 December.

How many days you pay for

Both the drop-off day and the pick-up day count. From Saturday 19 December to Sunday 3 January, that is 16 days, not 15. A week from Saturday to Sunday counts as 9 days.

The totals in the table already include this: they are the price the car park asks for those exact dates. Coming back a day later? Click the price and change the return date: the form shows the new total before any payment.

Why book now

Car parks have a fixed number of spaces and can turn a car away when they are full. During the holidays, all of Belgium leaves on the same days. A booking holds a space for you, at today's price.

The table updates itself: when a car park stops taking bookings for those dates, the cell shows "Full". You can then pick another car park, or the airport's P3, where the shuttle costs €8 per person.

Departure day in winter

  • Get to the airport 3 hours before your flight: this is the busiest period of the winter. At Ryanair and Wizz Air, bag drop closes 60 minutes before departure.
  • Allow time for the drive to the car park, dropping off the car and the shuttle. Our five car parks advertise shuttles from 4:00 to midnight.
  • In frost or snow, leave earlier: roads to the airport fill up quickly.
  • Wrapped presents may have to be opened at security. Wrap them once you arrive.
  • On your return, keep something to de-ice the windscreen: the car will have spent days outside.

If your return flight lands late

Our five car parks' shuttles stop at midnight. A delayed flight on a January evening may land later. Write down your car park's phone number before you leave, and follow your return flight on our arrivals page: the expected time updates every 2 minutes.

We found no special hours announced for 25 December and 1 January. Check your booking confirmation.
