Parking Posttheater, Arnhem

If you’re searching for parking Posttheater in Arnhem, the key is planning around show-night demand: the venue has limited free spaces, nearby street parking is paid for most of the evening, and garages close at night. Use the options below to choose the right approach for your arrival time.

Pre-book private parking near Posttheater with Mobypark

Mobypark makes it possible to book private parking spots that owners don’t actively use—think hotel/office parking areas, unused driveways, and spare garage spaces. That’s a practical backup when the Posttheater lot is full or when you want to avoid last-minute searching in paid streets. Compare availability and book for your show date using the search bar on the page.

Free parking at Posttheater: good choice, but limited

On performance evenings, the Posttheater has its own free parking terrain for about 30 cars. Because the number of spaces is limited, arrive early—latecomers may not always be admitted. Also note that the fence is closed about one hour after the show ends. If you’d rather not depend on capacity, reserve a private spot on Mobypark in advance and keep your after-show plan flexible.

Paid street parking near Posttheater (Velperpoort / Arbeidstraat / Velperweg)

The area around the Posttheater is generally covered by paid street parking. Typical paid times are Mon–Sat 09:00–23:00 and Sun 12:00–23:00. Rates depend on the exact zone: €4.60 per hour in some central/adjacent areas and €3.10 per hour in other zones. You pay by entering your license plate at the machine or via a parking app, and the maximum stay can vary by local signs—so always check what the sign says where you park. If you want to avoid the higher per-hour cost and uncertainty on busy evenings, booking with Mobypark can be a simpler alternative.

Indoor option: Parkeergarage Velperpoort

If you prefer covered parking, Parkeergarage Velperpoort (Ir. Van Muijlwijkstraat 175) is a well-known alternative in the immediate area. Public pricing is around €2 per hour (one source also lists €1 per 30 minutes) with a max day rate of about €10.95. Opening times are typically Mon–Sat 07:00–23:30 and Sun 09:00–23:30; the garage is closed at night. There’s also a height limit of 1.80 m, so check before you drive in. For shows where you may arrive close to evening peak, pre-booking a private Mobypark spot can reduce timing pressure.

Overflow parking: Dirkzwager deck when it’s very busy

On very busy show evenings, visitors may be directed to use the Dirkzwager parking deck at Velperweg 1 (entrance on Arbeidstraat, opposite the Posttheater). Availability can be limited—for example, weekdays from 19:15—and Posttheater communicates whether the deck is open (often shown on a sign at the fence). The deck can be left at any time, which helps after the show. If you want certainty when that deck might not be opened, it’s worth comparing with bookable private parking on Mobypark.

Quick arrival checklist for a smoother parking experience

• Arrive early: the free Posttheater terrain is limited and the venue can close its own access about an hour after the show.
• Match your parking to your show time: evening doors usually open about 15 minutes before the performance start.
• Accessibility: the venue has a limited number of wheelchair and companion spots that need to be reserved in advance.
• Traffic/low-emission zone: Posttheater is outside Arnhem’s environmental (low-emission) zone, so you can reach it without driving through it.
