Utrecht introduces paid Sunday parking in and around the city centre
From 1 January 2027, drivers in Utrecht's city centre and the neighbourhoods around it will pay to park on Sundays between 09:00 and 23:00, while discounts for carers and visitors go up.
Utrecht's municipal executive will bring in paid parking on Sundays from 1 January 2027, from 09:00 to 23:00. It will apply in parking zone A1, the Binnenstad (city centre), and zone A2, the areas around it.
Why it matters
- From 1 January 2027, drivers will have to pay to park in zones A1 and A2 on Sundays from 09:00 to 23:00.
- The parking discount for informal care, home care and maternity care will rise to 99%.
- The discount for visitors in zone BC, the other parking areas, will rise to 95%.
The municipality says measurements of parking pressure and residents' complaints show demand for spaces is high in these areas, especially on the edges of the city centre. It says that, as a result, residents and their visitors do not always find it easy to find a space.
With Sunday charging, the municipality wants to keep spaces more accessible for residents, their visitors and care workers in the city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Parking in zone BC will stay free on Sundays.
