Parking lots, parking meters, residential parking

It is relatively easy to park in Luxembourg, whether on the street or in parking garages. However , in most cases, you will need to pay a parking fee. There are several ways to plan your parking and pay for it.

Parking in parking garages in Luxembourg

In Luxembourg, parking garages generally charge between 1 and 3 euros per hour. Rates are posted at the entrance or on each garage’s website.

Once your vehicle is parked, you can stay as long as you like. You’ll pay when you exit, based on your actual parking duration. Be sure to keep your ticket with you. You’ll need it to re-enter the parking garage through the pedestrian entrance, pay for your parking, and retrieve your car.

Some parking lots allow you to pay for parking on demand or via a subscription system using the “Indigo Neo” mobile app, which recognizes your vehicle’s license plate. The entire process is then completely contactless.

More and more parking lots also recognize your license plate. All you need to do is pay at the machine at the pedestrian entrance using the ticket issued upon entry. The barrier will then open automatically to let your vehicle out.

It is also possible to pay directly upon entry and exit by presenting your credit card at the vehicle entrance machine. You just need to use the same card when exiting.

To park in Luxembourg, you can use the various parking garages in the capital. Be aware, however , of parking issues, especially during lunchtime or major events.
