The rules at Banegårdspladsen

The City of Aarhus has designed Banegårdspladsen for short stops: the spaces by the former post office are drop-off spaces (kiss and ride) where you may only stop to let passengers and luggage out, and the angled parking on the main square is limited to 15 minutes with a parking disc — parking licences do not exempt you. The lane by the taxi rank is reserved for taxis. Always check the signs on site.

Travel parking — several days

For multi-day parking the daily cap is the key number: Bruuns Galleri costs max DKK 250 per day and the APCOA facility at Ny Banegårdsgade 53 max DKK 240 per day — but APCOA's hourly rate is higher (DKK 40/h), so Bruuns Galleri is typically best for both short and long stays. Compare on the parking map before you drive.
