Parking Rules

• Changing your parking ticket : Change your parking ticket as soon as possible. It also takes time to start mobile parking, so the system gives a grace period of 5 minutes between the start of parking and the exchange of the ticket.
• Surcharge : If you exceed the parking time, you must pay a surcharge. The amount of the surcharge depends on the duration of the excess.

Important Note

• Do not leave valuables in the car and always check the parking signs.
• Parking spaces in the city center fill up quickly, so it's worth arriving early.
