Where to park in Hoorn
Hoorn charges in rings. At the edge of the town you stand cheapest: at P+R Transferium by the station, Pelmolenpad, the RAC location on Johan Messchaertstraat and on Visserseiland a whole day costs € 3.20. If you would rather not walk that far, the ring around the city centre at € 2 per hour and a daily maximum of € 5.50 is a good in-between; Het Park and 't Jeudje car parks are there too. In the city centre itself you pay the most: € 3.50 for the first hour and then € 5.50 per hour.
Free is possible too, but not right by the shops. Nieuwe Wal parking site, Schellinkhouterdijk, Kievit, Palissade and De Westfries ice rink cost nothing, and from 1 October through 31 March you park for free at the city beach.
Paid hours and the Vredehofstraat sites
In and around the city centre the payment obligation runs from Monday through Saturday from 9.00 to 20.00, and on Sunday from 12.00 to 20.00. At the edge of the town the clock already stops at 18.00 and Sunday is free. The three sites on Vredehofstraat have their own regime: there you park from Monday through Friday between 9.00 and 18.00 the first four hours free, provided you register your licence plate at the meter or in an app and deregister it again afterwards. If you forget that, it is still a day rate. At the Vomar there are also fifteen spaces in a blue zone where you may stand for an hour with a disc.
Paying and the zone number
Licence-plate parking applies everywhere, and you pay per minute up to the daily maximum of your area. Before you pay, check which zone number is on the meter: in Hoorn expensive permit-holder areas and cheaper visitor spaces sit right next to each other, and the zone number determines what you pay. With SimplePark you start the session as soon as you stop and stop it when you drive off, so you only pay the minutes you really stood there.
