Where to park in Bergen op Zoom
Parking in Bergen op Zoom is not arranged by the municipality itself, but by Parkeerbeheer Bergen op Zoom. That organization manages the two car parks and checks the paid-parking areas. For a visit to the center those car parks are the easiest choice. De Parade on Wassenaarstraat is the largest, with 400 spaces and a clearance of 2.05 meters; from there you walk about 400 meters to the Grote Markt. Grote Markt car park on Koepelstraat is smaller, with 150 spaces and 2.00 meters clearance, and lies about 300 meters from the square. In both car parks there are spaces with a charging point.
On the street the rate and paid hours differ per parking meter. Parkeerbeheer does not put those in a list on the site, but on a map: click a meter and you see the street name, the rate, the hours and the pay-by-phone code for mobile parking.
Sundays, shopping Sundays and public holidays
On the street Bergen op Zoom is generous with free days. On Sundays and on a number of official public holidays, including New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, King's Day, Ascension Day, Whit Sunday and Christmas Day, on-street parking is free. The car parks charge every day, Sundays included. Only on shopping Sundays, the last Sunday of every month and a few extra in December, are they free between 11.00 and 18.00. Before and after those hours you pay the normal car-park rate, even on a shopping Sunday.
Paying and enforcement
In the car parks everything works by license plate: check in with your card at the entrance, check out at the exit and the amount is taken automatically. On the street you park by license plate at the meter or with a parking app; the pay-by-phone code is on Parkeerbeheer's map and on the sign at the meter. With SimplePark you start the parking action as soon as you have parked and stop it when you drive away, so you only pay the minutes you were actually there.
