Parking Heumarkt, Cologne

Heumarkt parking options in Cologne

Parking at Heumarkt in Cologne is centred on the underground car park at Markmannsgasse 3, with metered street bays and other central car parks available nearby. The main garage is open around the clock, while street parking follows separate tariffs, meter conditions and free-parking rules.

Heumarkt car park rates, opening times and access

The underground Heumarkt car park at Markmannsgasse 3, 50667 Cologne, is open 24 hours a day and has 429 spaces. The hourly rate is €4.50 from Sunday to Friday and €5 on Saturdays. The maximum charge for 24 hours is €32.

• Maximum vehicle height: 1.90 metres
• Maximum entrance width: 2.40 metres
• Maximum parking period: 30 days
• Payment is available by bank card and cash

These rates apply to the garage, not to nearby public street bays. Check the entrance tariff display before driving in, particularly if you plan to leave the vehicle for a full day or longer.

Street parking around Heumarkt

Public street parking in Cologne's Innenstadt uses an updated tariff of €5 per hour, with a €30 maximum for 24 hours. The payment period and any restrictions are controlled by the sign and parking meter at the individual bay, so check them before leaving the vehicle.

A citywide short-stop option allows 15 minutes of free parking where the meter provides it. Public street spaces at Heumarkt are generally free on Sundays and public holidays, but a separately signed bay or temporary restriction can override the usual arrangement.

Free parking and P+R for a Heumarkt visit

There is no dependable unrestricted all-day free parking in the immediate Heumarkt area. For a very short stop, use the 15-minute free option at an eligible meter. For longer visits, many Cologne P+R facilities allow up to 24 hours without a parking charge when you hold a valid public transport ticket and continue your journey by public transport.

P+R is best suited to drivers who do not need the car beside the square. It also avoids searching for a central bay during busy periods.

Overnight and long-stay parking at Heumarkt

The Heumarkt car park is the practical choice for overnight parking because it remains open 24 hours and applies a €32 maximum charge for a 24-hour period. Confirm the current tariff at entry if your stay crosses midnight, as the final charge depends on the garage's charging rules. Mobypark currently has no bookable spaces for Heumarkt, but drivers can check it for future availability.
