Luxembourg parking lots: easy parking solutions

Parking in Luxembourg is relatively easy, either on the street or in parking lots. However, in most cases you will have to pay a parking fee. There are several ways to plan and pay for parking.

Parking in Luxembourg

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

Once you've parked, you can stay as long as you like. You pay as you leave, according to your actual parking time. Remember to keep your ticket with you. You'll need it to re-enter the parking lot via the pedestrian entrance, pay for your parking and collect your car.

Some parking lots, such as Luxembourg's Parking du Fort Neipperg, allow you to pay for your parking via the "Indigo Neo" mobile application, which recognizes your vehicle's license plate. The whole process is completely contactless. See below.

More and more parking lots also recognize your license plate. Simply pay at the automatic machine at the parking lot's pedestrian entrance, using the ticket issued at the entrance. The barrier will then open automatically to let your vehicle out.

You can also pay directly at the entrance and exit by presenting your bank card at the vehicle entrance machine. Just use the same card at the exit.

Luxembourg City parking lots

To park in Luxembourg, you can use the capital's various parking lots. But beware of parking problems, especially at lunchtime or during major events. Parking lots are often fully booked. You'll have to be patient at the vehicle entrance to get a space. You can also take public transport, which is free in Luxembourg.

Parking signs and Apps in Luxembourg

At the entrance to Luxembourg City, you'll find signs showing the number of free parking spaces by sector and then by parking lot, in real time.

You'll also find the list and location of Luxembourg City parking lots on the VDL website. Don't forget to download the City-App, which will give you a wealth of information about the city and the available parking lots.

A "Parking" app is also available on smartphones. It gives you real-time information on the availability of Luxembourg City's main parking lots. You can download the Parking App onto your smartphone.

Parking validation in Luxembourg

Some on-street spaces are free and unlimited. Some spaces may also be free for a limited time, thanks to a parking disc. Residents can benefit from a special rate and a certain number of free hours.

On the other hand, other parking spaces are subject to a fee and must be validated by payment, to avoid being fined for parking on the street.

Parking in the streets of Luxembourg is charged from Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and even on Saturday, 8am to 6pm. Parking is free on Sundays and public holidays.

Paying parking charges by cell phone

To pay for your parking, you can either pay in cash (always carry change) and pick up a ticket at the pay and display machine, or pay via an app: Indigo Neo

Indigo Neo is a parking payment system set up by the City of Luxembourg. It enables you to pay for your parking remotely, using a cell phone and your vehicle registration number. Payment is made simply by clicking on the zone in which your vehicle is parked. The amount to be paid will then be deducted directly from your bank account.

To use the Indigo Neo system, you need to download the app. Registration is free. Find out more about the IndigoNeo app on the vdl website.

Vignette for residential parking in Luxembourg

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

Vignettes reserved for residents of Luxembourg City

The parking sticker is reserved for residents of Luxembourg's capital. It entitles them to free, unlimited parking in the area where they live.

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

The number of parking stickers per person is now limited to a maximum of 3. The first sticker is free of charge, while subsequent stickers are subject to a progressive fee. Multiple vehicles may not be registered on the same sticker.

How the residential parking sticker works

With the residents' parking sticker, you're also entitled to 2 hours' free parking throughout Luxembourg City. To do this, you need to place the white parking disc issued with the residents' parking sticker behind your windscreen. Please note that the maximum parking time may vary from one district to another. In this case, don't forget to note your estimated time of departure!

Stickers authorizing residential parking must be placed behind the windscreen of your vehicle. They must be visible from outside the vehicle. Parking stickers come in 3 different types: annual, temporary (valid for 20 days) or visitor (valid for 3 months at a cost of 16 euros).

Professional parking sticker

Certain professional activities, such as the medical profession, home help or breakdown services, benefit from parking rights in the City of Luxembourg. Applications must be made to the administrative services.

Parking stickers for other communes

Other communes in Luxembourg offer the possibility of residential parking stickers, in specific regulated zones on their territory.

These include the towns of Esch-sur-Alzette, Pétange, Hespérange, Differdange, Strassen, Bettembourg, etc. These towns offer residential parking vignettes to residents of the municipality. They can park for free in certain districts.

Contact your local authorities for more information.

If your car is registered abroad, you can obtain a temporary sticker valid for 6 months.

EU blue zone parking disc

Some areas allow time-limited parking with a blue disc, as stipulated by the European Union's Highway Code.
Blue zones are identified by blue signs with a white P and a parking disc symbol.

The authorized parking time is generally 1h30 with the blue disc. This must be prominently displayed behind the windscreen. You must indicate your arrival time at the parking space. Blue discs are available from service stations.

Don't forget! To drive in Luxembourg, you need to be in good administrative order with your vehicle and respect the rules of the road.

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