Prepared by Radif Partners · How we calculate

Arnhem has 15 paid street zones in the National Parking Register, which keeps things simple. In 6 zones, including Centrum, an hour costs €4.60, the highest rate among the Gelderland cities on this site. In the other 9 zones you pay €3.10 an hour. On weekdays and Saturday you pay in the centre from 09:00 to 23:00. On Sunday paying starts at 12:00 and also runs until 23:00, longer than in Nijmegen. Two hours in the centre cost €9.20, a whole working day €36.80. The register lists no street day ticket and no park-and-ride site for Arnhem. Sunday is free in 4 zones. The 2026 parking tax by-law sets the costs of a parking penalty at €78.80, just under the legal maximum. A resident permit costs €149.00 a year.

Parking in Arnhem: two hourly rates

The old town and its edges carry the high rate, the districts around them the low one. The gap is €1.50 an hour, which soon adds up to a few euros over an afternoon of shopping.
