Finding parking near Wallraf-Richartz-Museum & Fondation Corboud, Cologne
Parking at Wallraf-Richartz-Museum during the closure
Parking at the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum & Fondation Corboud requires planning because the museum at Obenmarspforten is closed for general refurbishment until the expected end of 2028. Check the reopening date before driving; the surrounding central Cologne parking arrangements remain useful for a future visit.
Nearby car parks for Wallraf-Richartz-Museum
The two main car parks used for visits are An Farina and Gürzenich. Both are in central Cologne, where street spaces can be limited and tariffs vary by time and payment method.
| Car park | Address | Opening and access | Indicative tariff |
|---|---|---|---|
| An Farina | Laurenzplatz 4 or Unter Goldschmied 5 | Open 24 hours; 1.90 m height limit; 304 spaces | €2.80 per started hour; €28 daily maximum |
| Gürzenich | Quatermarkt 5 | 1.80 m height limit; 315 spaces. Monday to Friday 07:00–00:00, Saturday continuously, Sunday and public holidays 00:00–22:00. Exit is possible at any time. | €4.25–€4.59 per started hour; €24.99–€27.99 daily maximum, depending on payment method |
Tariffs can change, so check the payment machine or display board before leaving the vehicle. An Farina is the more practical choice for a late return because it operates around the clock.
Street parking around Obenmarspforten
Street parking in the Innenstadt/Deutz Zone 1 is controlled and should not be treated as free parking. Allow about €5 per hour at the current tariff level; the former €4 rate should not be relied on without checking the machine.
Depending on the machine, payment is possible with 50-cent, €1 and €2 coins, by mobile phone and, at machines with the relevant card facility, by debit or credit card. For a longer stay, budget €30 per day where the current long-stay tariff applies rather than relying on the former €5-per-24-hour arrangement.
Choosing Wallraf-Richartz-Museum parking for a longer stay
For several hours, an off-street car park avoids returning to extend a street ticket and provides a clearer daily maximum. An Farina is open 24 hours, while Gürzenich has restricted entry hours even though vehicles can leave at any time.
There are currently no bookable Mobypark spaces within 3 km of the museum, but it is worth checking again before a future visit in case local supply changes.
Height and accessible parking information
Check your vehicle height before entering: the limit is 1.90 m at An Farina and 1.80 m at Gürzenich. An Farina has five marked accessible spaces and Gürzenich has one, but availability is not guaranteed, particularly during busy periods.
Parking penalties in central Cologne
Use a valid ticket, stay within the marked bay and follow every local sign. Parking without a ticket can result in a fine from €20. Parking in a prohibited area is generally €35–€55, stopping in the second row starts at €55, and parking on a pavement or cycle path can cost €50–€90. Longer stays or obstructing other road users can increase the charge.
