Where to park in Woerden
On-street parking in Woerden city centre is expensive and short: € 3.20 per hour, with a maximum parking time that differs per zone. In zone 4400, the city centre, you may stay three hours; on Leidsestraatweg (zone 4404) two hours and on Rijnstraat (zone 4401) only half an hour. Zone 4403 is the odd one out: there paid parking runs longer, an hour costs € 6.20 and you always pay per hour.
If you stay longer, you are better off going into a car park. In Castellum and on Defensie-eiland the daytime hourly rate is € 2.50 and that is therefore well cheaper than the street. You may also stay as long as you like. Still cheaper is the P&R on Houttuinen south of the station: 245 spaces where parking is free and from where you walk into the city centre in about ten minutes. On the north side sits Q-Park's P&R Spoorlaan, with 172 spaces a five-minute walk; combined with a train journey that is free for the first 24 hours.
Hours and free days
Paid parking applies from Monday to Saturday from 10.00 to 18.30; in zone 4403 until 22.00. On Sundays and public holidays on-street parking is free. That applies among others on New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, King's Day, Liberation Day, Ascension Day, Whit Monday and both Christmas days.
In the car parks it works the other way round: there it is often free at night and in the evening and you pay during the day. On Sunday and shopping Sunday your car is there all day without charge.
Licence plates and paying
Parking in Woerden is run by ParkeerService. Permits are digital only now, and officers scan the licence plates of parked cars to see whether payment has been made. So make sure your licence plate is correct in your parking session. At the meter you settle per 6 minutes, with an app per minute: with SimplePark you start the session when you stop and you stop it when you drive away, so in a zone with a half-hour maximum parking time you do not buy time you do not use.
