Q-Park St Anne's Square is the closest covered parking to The MAC and St Anne's Cathedral, at £2.50 an hour. Little Donegall Street is two minutes further at 60p an hour with 105 spaces — the cheapest nearby — but it is charged Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm, rather than around the clock.
The on-street bays around Exchange Street are chargeable Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm and free outside those hours, which makes them the cheapest option for an evening out. York Street, about five minutes away, is free with no restrictions.
No, and this is the exception worth knowing. Unlike most Belfast City Council car parks, Corporation Square is not free outside its charged hours.
