Park and Ride in Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf has one of the most developed P+R networks in Germany, with 35 official sites in and around the city. All are free to use and connected to public transport. Parking outside the centre and taking the tram, U-Bahn or S-Bahn in is often the most practical and cheapest way to visit. Below you'll find all locations, their transport connections and a map.
Why use Park and Ride in Düsseldorf?
Parking right in the centre of Düsseldorf is expensive and availability near the Altstadt or the Königsallee is unreliable on busy days. Central garage rates add up quickly, particularly for a full day visit. P+R solves both problems at once.
All official P+R sites in Düsseldorf are free to park at. They sit directly on tram, U-Bahn or S-Bahn lines, so the connection into the centre is straightforward. Pick the site that matches your direction of arrival and you avoid driving into the city traffic altogether.
Choose your P+R site based on where you are coming from
There are sites to the north, south, east and west of the city. Pick the one on your route in and you will not need to cross the centre at all.
