Pay at the parking machine or with a parking app; the city names EasyPark, Mobilet, PayByPhone, Parkster and PARCO. A ticket covers at most the maximum stay on the sign.
Leave a paper ticket where it can be read in full from outside: a partly hidden ticket is not valid. If the machine is broken, set a parking disc instead.

Where the parking information comes from

Parking locations and many of their attributes are based on OpenStreetMap contributor data. Parking Space Finder classifies the recorded fee value for the map filters and presents available location details in a consistent format. Community data can be incomplete or become outdated between updates.

Read the OpenStreetMap copyright and licence information

What this map cannot guarantee

A marker does not mean that a space is currently empty; the web map has no live occupancy feed.
A free classification reflects the recorded data, not a guarantee that every vehicle or time period is exempt from payment.
Signs, temporary restrictions, permits, access rules and on-site instructions always take priority over the map.
Check the entrance, operating hours and payment information at the location before leaving your vehicle.
