Parking in Groningen

ZERNIKE 200
Parking in the City?
Plenty of space!
Park your car at one of our eight P+R (‘park and ride’) sites.
Travel on the comfortable Citybus from the P+R straight to the
heart of the city and back again. Over 1.4 million people used
this service in 2007.
How the P+R Citybus system works:
Groningen is an attractive city with a growing number
of visitors. They include people who work in the city or
come here to shop or to enjoy a day or an evening out.
There is ample car parking for everybody conveniently
located and reasonably priced.

As you approach the city, follow the signs to the nearest P+R
Citybus site.

The Citybus travels in bus lanes for most of the journey, so it’s
faster than using your own car. What’s more, Citybus stops are
closer to the shops than the city centre car parks (marked ‘P’).

Parking is free. A return trip on the Citybus for
you and all your passengers costs just e 2,(max. 5 persons). Parking time is virtually unlimited. The P+R site
in Zaanstraat is the only one that charges a parking fee.
There are 12 car parks in a ring around the city centre.
Together they have spaces for 4,500 vehicles. Follow the
‘P’ signs to the car park nearest to where you want to go.

A frequent Citybus service operates between
the P+R site and the city centre on Sunday
shopping days as well! (except P+R Peizerweg
and Hoogkerk)

Groningen’s attractive historical centre is largely what
gives the city its appeal. To protect the city’s heritage,
traffic needs to be carefully controlled. Parts of the city
centre are car-free or closed to cars at certain times.
But Groningen definitely welcomes car users!
