Car Parking in Nuremberg
Nuremberg has a well-preserved medieval centre that draws plenty of visitors. Several garages sit close to the old town walls and rates are reasonable. Street parking is available in parts of the centre but paid zones apply close to the main sights. Below you'll find the best options and current rates.
Street parking in Nuremberg
If you are visiting central Nuremberg, street parking is usually not the easiest first option for a longer stay. The city’s tourism pages point visitors directly to P+R if they want to reach the city centre more comfortably by public transport.
That means street parking is mainly useful for shorter practical stops, while a central garage or P+R is usually the easier choice if you want to spend more time in the city.

Cheap car parking in Nuremberg: how to do it
The clearest lower-stress option is usually park and ride. Nuremberg Tourism explicitly recommends parking at one of the many P+R locations and continuing comfortably by public transport into the city centre.
If you still want to stay central, a garage is usually the better fit than trying to depend on street parking around the old town.
