Car Parking in Aalborg

Aalborg is one of those northern Danish cities where parking rarely causes stress. The centre is compact, garages are well placed, and rates are fair. Street parking is available in several parts of the centre, though paid zones apply close to the main shopping streets. Below you'll find the best options and current rates.

Street parking rates in Aalborg

Aalborg divides its paid municipal parking into three tariff zones. The red zone is the most central and most expensive. The green zone is the cheapest paid municipal zone.

Paid parking applies on weekdays from 8:00 to 19:00 and on Saturdays from 8:00 to 16:00. That makes street parking fairly simple to understand.

Zone Rate What to expect
Red zone DKK 18 per hour Most central paid parking
Yellow zone DKK 11 per hour, max. DKK 52 per day Useful if you want a slightly cheaper central option
Green zone DKK 8 per hour, max. DKK 41 per day Best value among the paid municipal zones

Street parking in central Aalborg is mainly useful for shorter visits

If you want to stay longer, the yellow or green zone is usually more practical than the red zone.
