Prepared by Radif Partners · How we calculate

Amsterdam has 155 paid street zones in the National Parking Register. The hourly rate runs from €0.10 in outer districts to €8.05 in tariff zone 1, the old town inside the Singelgracht canal. There you pay from Monday to Saturday from 09:00 until midnight, and on Sunday from 12:00. Two hours on a Tuesday morning in that zone cost €16.10, an eight-hour working day €64.40. If you stay all evening, an evening ticket of €32.20 is available. In 117 zones, Sunday is free. The register also lists 8 park-and-ride sites on the edge of town, where a day costs far less than in the centre. Forget to pay and you receive a parking penalty assessment, whose costs are capped by law at €82.00 in 2026.

Day ticket, evening ticket or by the hour?

In 86 Amsterdam zones the register lists a day, evening or Sunday ticket. For a short visit you pay by the hour; after a few hours the ticket wins. The day ticket calculator tells you from which hour.

To reach the centre without the top rate, see park and ride. Parking without a valid right leads to a parking penalty assessment.

Common questions

Tap a question to see the answer.

Where is the cheapest place to park in Amsterdam?

At a park-and-ride site on the edge of the city, such as the ArenA or Sloterdijk, then public transport into the centre. On the street, the lowest rates are in outer districts, which few visitors need. In the old town you pay €8.05 an hour; a garage can be cheaper there, but garages outside the register are not covered here.

Until what time do you pay to park in central Amsterdam?

In tariff zone 1 you pay from 09:00 until midnight, and on Sunday from 12:00. Some central zones even charge until four in the morning. The table on this page shows the hours for the zone you pick; if the sign by the meter differs, the sign applies.

What do codes such as T11A and T12A mean for Amsterdam zones?

They are the tariff codes Amsterdam uses in the register. The digit after T1 is the tariff group: 1 is the old town, and the higher the digit, the cheaper the rate. The letter that follows says which paid hours apply, for example until midnight or until four. You will find the code on the meter or in your parking app.
