Where to park in Harderwijk
In Harderwijk almost all parking is on numbered sites: from P2 on Ir. Lelykade to P19 Westeinde, with underground car park P14 Houtwal and the large P+R site Zonneweide in between. The rate is the same everywhere, so the choice is not about money but about where you need to be. The municipality publishes three maps, for residents, visitors and employees, so you can see in advance which site suits your visit.
If you are visiting the city center, P14 Houtwal, P11 Vuldersbrink and P17 Klooster are closest. If you are heading for the Dolfinarium, the harbor or the boulevard, P8 P+R Zonneweide is the logical choice: almost 1,600 spaces, room for campers, a public toilet and in summer a shuttle train to the boulevard. P10 Waltorenstraat and P15 Hortus are only for permit holders, and P7 on Jan Krulkade only opens mid-2027.
Hours, maximum duration and the weekly market
Paid parking applies every day from 8.00 to 21.00, with one hourly rate and one daily maximum. On a number of sites you may park for at most 3 hours: P5 Strandboulevard, P6 Zuiderzeeboulevard, P13 Selhorstweg and Waterfront sectors 30 to 37. P5 is also seasonal and only open from 1 November to 1 April.
Be careful on Saturdays. On P17 Klooster a towing scheme applies during the weekly market: if your car is parked there between midnight and 14.30, it is towed away. P14 Houtwal has hours of its own: you can enter between 7.30 and 22.00, and exit with a valid parking ticket at any time.
Paying and enforcement
Cash no longer works anywhere in Harderwijk. You pay at the meter with a debit card or credit card, or digitally via a parking app; for P2 and P8 you can buy a parking ticket online in advance. If you do not pay or pay too little, you get a parking fine (naheffingsaanslag), handled by Meerinzicht. If you park where parking is not allowed at all, you get a traffic fine from the CJIB instead.
With SimplePark you start your parking action as soon as you have parked, end it when you drive away, and pay for the time you were there, in the unit the municipality uses. Handy on a day at the boulevard, where you rarely know in advance whether it will be 2 hours or a whole afternoon.
