Parking in Copenhagen with FreeSpot
FreeSpot helps you find the cheapest and fastest parking in Copenhagen. Most central parking is paid and zone-based, and the price varies a lot by area and time of day — so it really pays to compare before you drive. Use the city as your entry point to the parking map and find the best spot, whether it is on the street or in a parking facility.
Cheapest outside rush hour
The rate follows the time of day: most expensive midday in the central zones and noticeably cheaper in the evening and at night.
Street or facility
Street parking is often cheapest, but you may spend time finding a spot. A parking facility usually costs more, but you drive straight in.
How to find cheap parking in Copenhagen
Most central parking in Copenhagen is paid parking divided into zones, and the rate depends on both the zone and the time of day. It is most expensive midday in the most central zones, while it gets cheaper in the evening and is cheapest at night and early in the morning.
Use the parking map to compare prices and zones before you drive. That way you can pick a slightly cheaper zone a few streets away, or hit a time when the rate is lower.
Street parking or a parking facility?
On the street, municipal paid parking is usually cheapest, but in busy areas you may spend extra time finding an available spot. Parking facilities and garages are typically more expensive per hour, but you are more certain of a spot and drive straight in — and several facilities have a daily maximum that can make them attractive for longer stays.
On the map you see the options together, so you can choose based on both price and how quickly you want to be parked.

FAQ about parking in Copenhagen
What does parking cost in Copenhagen?
Central paid parking is zone- and time-based. It is cheapest at night and early in the morning and most expensive midday in the most central zones. Always check the individual spot on the map and the signs on site for the current rate.
When is parking cheapest in Copenhagen?
As a rule of thumb it is cheapest at night and early in the morning and most expensive midday. Evenings are often cheaper than daytime, and zones a little outside the centre are typically cheaper than the most central ones.
Is it cheapest to park on the street or in a parking facility?
Street parking is usually cheapest, but you may spend time finding an available spot in busy areas. A parking facility most often costs more per hour, but gives you more certainty of a spot — and can be a good idea for longer stays, where a daily maximum keeps the price down.
Is there free parking in Copenhagen?
There is limited free and time-limited parking, mainly in the outer neighbourhoods — rarely in the inner city. If you need to be close to the centre, paid parking is almost always the answer. Use the map to see where the free and time-limited spots are.
