Car Parking in Maastricht
In Maastricht, parking works best when you choose distance on purpose. The closer you want to be to the centre, the more you usually pay. The city is set up very clearly for three types of arrival: central garages, Park+Walk close to the centre and the free P+R at Maastricht Noord.
Street parking in Maastricht
Street parking in Maastricht is possible, but for many visitors it is not the easiest main plan. The city itself points people to garages, Park+Walk and P+R rather than relying on the street.
If your plans are focused on the centre, Vrijthof, Wyck or a day in town, structured parking is usually easier than street parking.
| Parking type | What to expect | What we say |
|---|---|---|
| Street parking | Possible in the city | Less attractive for a longer visit |
| Park+Walk | Fixed daily rate | Walk to the centre in about 10 minutes |
| P+R Maastricht Noord | Free parking | Cheap onward bus ticket into town |
Street parking in Maastricht is mainly useful for shorter visits
If you are spending several hours in the city, Park+Walk or P+R is usually the easier choice.
