Where to park in Amersfoort
Amersfoort is introducing paid parking and permit parking in a growing part of the city, with the aim of sharing public space between residents, workers and visitors. For a visit to the city center the municipality itself advises you to drive into a car park. There are plenty, fifteen in all: from Stadhuisplein, Sint Jorisplein and Koestraat right by the center to Eemplein and De Argonaut at the station. If you come from outside and continue by bus or train, P+R Mondriaanplein and P+R Barchman Wuytierslaan are the logical choice.
Amersfoort does not publish its parking rates as a list on its website. The municipality points to an interactive parking map on which you see per spot whether you have to pay, on which days and hours that applies and what the rate is. For the car parks the municipality points to ParkeerService and Q-Park. So always check the meter or the map before you walk away.
The five parking zones
The city is divided into five zones that differ a good deal. In zone 1 visitors cannot park: there, 24 hours a day, only permit parking applies. In zone 2 and 3 the arrangement runs Monday to Saturday from 9.00 to midnight and on Sunday from 12.00 to midnight; in zone 2 you park on the street with a day ticket and pay per hour in a car park. Zone 4 is a morning zone, Monday to Saturday between 6.00 and 11.00, and zone 5 a night zone, Monday to Friday between 23.00 and 6.00. In the shopping areas a low rate for short-stay parking of up to 2 hours applies between 9.00 and 18.00. Outside those days and hours you park free in a zone.
Note: new parking rules have applied in a number of neighborhoods since 1 October 2026. If you used to park free there, check the map first.
Paying on the street
On the street you pay at the meter or with a parking app. With SimplePark you start the parking action as soon as you have parked and stop it when you drive away, so you pay for the time you were parked, in the time steps Amersfoort charges in. Handy in a city where the end time differs per zone: you do not have to guess in advance how long you will stay.
