SimplePark knows all 25 parking zones of Zutphen: start your session in the app, stop it when you leave and pay only for the time you parked. Covered parking is available at P+R car park behind the station. In Zone around the city centre a blue zone applies, so you use a parking disc there.

With SimplePark you start and stop the parking session in the app and pay by the minute, plus €0.29 in service costs per parking action.
The closer to the shops, the more expensive
Zutphen divides the city centre by parking time, and that time determines the price. Right by the shops you stay at most two hours and pay € 3.10 per hour: Groenmarkt, Nieuwstad, Zaadmarkt, Spittaalstraat, Stationsplein. A ring around that, with among others 's Gravenhof, IJsselkade, Noorderhaven and Rozengracht, is meant for medium stay: at most four hours, € 2.50 per hour.
If you want to stay a full day, you go to a long-stay spot. Those differ quite a bit in price. Houtwal behind the police station is cheapest: € 1.05 per hour or € 3.20 for a day. On Isendoornstraat, Molengracht west, Roodsplein and Houtwal at Vispoortplein you pay € 1.95 per hour with a day ticket of € 11.55; at IJsselpaviljoen that is € 2.50 per hour with the same day ticket. The P+R car park behind the station is not municipal: Q-Park sets the rates there.
Hours and the blue zone
You pay parking charges from Monday to Saturday between 8.00 and 18.00, and on Friday evening that runs until 21.00 because of late-night shopping. On Sunday and on public holidays parking on municipal spots is free.
Around the city centre lies a blue zone, recognisable by the blue stripe along the street. There you put a parking disc in the car. How long you may stay differs per spot, and in some spots the zone only applies on certain days and times. That is all on the traffic sign, so walk past it before you go into town.
Paying at the meter or by the minute
At the payment meter you pay in advance, with your debit card or credit card. If you do not know exactly how long you will stay, pay-by-phone is more pleasant. With SimplePark you start the session as soon as you stop and you stop it when you drive away, and you pay by the minute: no rushing because your ticket is running out and no paying for time you do not use. Do watch the right zone code, because the rate differs per street.
