Visitor regulations parking center

The visitor parking scheme in the city centre means that you, as a household in the city centre, receive 70 free visitor hours per year. With the visitor scheme, you can (based on license plate) easily register and deregister your visitors digitally via an app on your mobile phone.

On January 1, 2025, the visitor scheme from 2024 will expire. The remaining hours you have not used will expire. Do you want to use the visitor scheme in 2025? Then apply for it on time.
