Parking in Leiden

Leiden, also known as the "City of Keys," is an idyllic old town located near The Hague in western Netherlands. Famed for its ancient architecture, winding canals, and vibrant academic life thanks to the country's oldest university (Leiden University), Leiden provides an exciting combination of history, knowledge, and culture - its population exceeds 120,000 and retains strong roots while adapting with modernity.

Leiden's proximity to major Dutch cities like Amsterdam and The Hague, combined with its historical sites and cultural resources, make it a sought-after tourist destination during summer months. However, this can create increased demand for city amenities including parking. Recognizing this challenge, Mobypark provides key locations that offer affordable and convenient parking solutions right in Leiden itself.

Parking in Leiden: All you need to know

Parking in Leiden can be challenging, particularly in its city center where spaces are scarce. Parts of Leiden's inner city have car-free zones with on-street parking available at specific times and rates on parking lots or car parks; operating hours usually span Monday to Saturday between 09:00-21:00 (Monday-Saturday), 13:00-21.00 on Sundays; rates depend upon both location and duration.

Street parking and city center parking present their own set of challenges. While rates for on-street parking vary depending on where it's located, remember that spaces fill quickly during peak times. City center costs can differ depending on which part of it you park in; charges in the center begin at EUR2.9/hr for up to two hours with maximum daily charges reaching 14.55EUR/day.

Leiden recently implemented a low emission zone targeting diesel lorries. As of 1 January 2022, Euro 6 vehicles will be the minimum standard and non-compliant vehicles cannot park within this low emission area of Leiden; Euro 3, 4, 5 and 6 diesel cars and petrol vehicles may still park within its city center limits.
