Where to park in Hulst
Hulst makes it easy for you: the paid area is exactly the old fortress town. Everything inside the town walls is paid parking, and traffic signs show where that area begins. As soon as you leave the walls behind you, you park for free throughout Hulst. Anyone combining a walk over the fortress or a visit to the Grote Markt with a longer day in town therefore faces a simple choice: walk a bit further and pay nothing, or stand close by and settle € 1.75 per hour.
If you stay the whole day, the bastions are the smartest spot. There you buy a day ticket for € 5 and no longer have to watch the clock. For a short visit to a shop or a terrace it pays to pay by the hour instead.
When you have to pay
The payment obligation runs from Monday through Saturday from 10.00 to 18.00 and on Sunday from 12.00 to 18.00. That is later in the morning than in many other towns: before ten your car stands free inside the walls as well, and after six in the evening too. It helps that the times end the same every day, so you do not have to work out per day when the clock runs out.
Motorcyclists pay in the city centre just the same. Separate bays have been laid out for motorcycles on the Grote Markt, along the church wall. If you have a disabled parking badge, you park for free in Hulst on a disabled parking space.
Paying without guessing the time
At the meter you have to estimate in advance how long you will stay, and in a fortress town where you can easily linger an extra hour that is tricky. With SimplePark you start the session when you stop and stop it when you drive off; you pay per minute, so an extra half hour only costs you half an hour.
