Prepared by Radif Partners · How we calculate
Nijmegen has 29 paid street zones in the National Parking Register. In 9 zones, including Centrum, an hour costs €4.00. The largest group, 15 zones, charges €2.90. In the centre you pay on weekdays and Saturday from 09:00 to 23:00; on Sunday only from 12:00 to 18:00. Two hours in the old town cost €8.00. In 15 zones Sunday is free. Across the Waal river lies P+R Nijmegen-Noord, the city’s only park-and-ride site in the register, with a day ticket of €3.50 and a weekly ticket of €11.00. Residents get a good deal on permits, which are notably cheap here: a first resident permit costs €48.00 a year under the by-law, and less in part of the city. The costs of a parking penalty are €82.00.
Parking in Nijmegen by zone
Four hourly rates, with the centre at the top. Most zones lie in the ring around the old town.
| Hourly rate | Zones | For example |
|---|---|---|

| €2.90 | 15 | parkeerterrein Zwanenveld bij winkelcentrum Duke, Woonwijk Zwanenveld, Wijk Ooyse Schependom |
| €2.60 | 3 | Oude Stad, P7 Wedren, P8 Vierdaagseplein |
| €1.00 | 1 | Brakkenstein |
Nijmegen supplies the outlines of every zone to the register. With the address search at the top you find your zone, in the districts outside the centre too. The number on the meter in the street applies if it differs.
Paid hours in the centre
Long working days, a short Sunday. If you are in town on Sunday evening, you park for free. On an ordinary Tuesday you pay in the centre from nine in the morning until eleven at night, so an evening at the theatre or a restaurant still counts.

|---|---|
| Monday | 09:00 to 23:00 (€4.00/h) |
| Tuesday | 09:00 to 23:00 (€4.00/h) |
| Wednesday | 09:00 to 23:00 (€4.00/h) |
| Thursday | 09:00 to 23:00 (€4.00/h) |
| Friday | 09:00 to 23:00 (€4.00/h) |
