Parking lots, parking meters, residential parking

It is relatively easy to park in Luxembourg on the street or in parking lots. However, in most cases, you will have to pay for parking. There are several ways to arrange and pay for parking.

Parking in car parks in Luxembourg

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

Once you have parked your vehicle, you can stay as long as you like. You pay when you leave, based on the actual length of time you have parked. Remember to keep your ticket with you. You will need it to re-enter the car park via the pedestrian entrance, pay for your parking, and retrieve your car.

Some car parks, such as the Parking du Fort Neipperg in Luxembourg, allow you to pay for parking via the "Indigo Neo" mobile app, which recognizes your vehicle's license plate. The entire process is completely contactless. See below on this page.

More and more car parks are also recognizing your license plate. All you have to do is pay at the machine at the pedestrian entrance to the car park using the ticket issued at the entrance. The barrier will then open automatically to let your vehicle out.

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

Parking in Luxembourg City

To park in Luxembourg, you can use the various car parks in the capital. However,be aware of parking problems, especially at lunchtime or during major events. Car parks are often full at these times. You will need to be patient at the vehicle entrance to get a space. You can also use public transport, which is free in Luxembourg.

If you are a resident of Luxembourg City, you can benefit from a residential parking permit.

Stickers reserved for residents of Luxembourg City

The parking permit is reserved for residents of the Luxembourg capital. It allows them to park for free and without time restrictions in their neighborhood of residence.

Applications for resident permits must be accompanied by a certificate of residence from the City of Luxembourg and a vehicle registration certificate in the applicant's name.
Residential parking permits in Luxembourg City are issued per person and per vehicle.

The number of parking stickers per person is now limited to a maximum of three. The first sticker is free of charge, while subsequent stickers are subject to a progressive fee. It is prohibited to register multiple vehicles on a single sticker.

How the residential parking permit works

With the resident permit, you are also entitled to 2 hours of free parking throughout the city of Luxembourg. To do so, you must place the white parking disc issued at the same time as the resident parking permit behind your windshield. Please note that the maximum parking time may vary depending on the neighborhood. In this case, don't forget to note your estimated departure time!

Resident parking stickers must be placed behind the windshield of your vehicle. They must be visible from outside the vehicle. There are three different types of parking stickers: annual stickers, temporary stickers (valid for 20 days), and visitor stickers (valid for 3 months at a cost of €16).

Certain professional activities, such as medical professions, home help, and repair services, are entitled to parking in the City of Luxembourg. Applications must be made to the administrative services.

Parking permits for other municipalities

Other municipalities in Luxembourg offer residential parking permits in specific regulated areas within their territory.

This is the case in Esch-sur-Alzette, Pétange, Hespérange, Differdange, Strassen, Bettembourg, and other towns. These municipalities offer residential parking permits to residents of the municipality. This allows them to park for free in certain neighborhoods.

Please contact your local municipal administration for more information.

If your car is registered abroad, you can obtain a temporary sticker valid for six months.

EU parking disc in blue zones

Certain areas allow limited-time parking with a blue disc, as provided for in the European Union Highway Code.
Blue zones are identified by blue signs with a white P and a parking disc symbol.

The authorized parking time is generally 1.5 hours with the blue disc. This must be displayed prominently behind the windshield. You must indicate your arrival time at the parking space. You can purchase these blue discs at gas stations.

Don't forget! To drive in Luxembourg, you must have all the necessary paperwork for your vehicle and comply with the rules of the road.

To diversify your means of transportation throughout the city, in addition to parking facilities, you can opt for a taxi service in Luxembourg, which offers a convenient and comfortable alternative.

Parking with electric charging stations

Luxembourg is now very well equipped with electric charging stations thanks to its Chargy network, which is accessible to electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
