Glorietta has officially closed Courtyard Drive to vehicles. That means no more drop-offs or parking in that area, even for a quick stop. This is part of the mall’s ongoing redevelopment, which aims to improve the overall visitor experience once complete.

To make things easier, here are the new designated areas where vehicles can drop off passengers:

These spots are now the best entry points for anyone visiting the mall. Staff are also stationed nearby to help direct traffic and guide visitors.
