FreeSpot recommendations at Parken
Aim for the side streets instead of the stadium: FCK and Parken themselves recommend parking toward Strandboulevarden or beyond Jagtvej, about a 10-minute walk away, where your chances of a free spot are best. For evening matches, timing is your friend — after 18:00 street parking costs DKK 18 per hour in all zones.
Match and event days: the rules at the stadium
On match and event days Parken's own areas are closed to public parking — only disabled spaces (behind the B stand, valid disabled card required) and permit parking. Øster Allé can be fully closed at big events, and drop-off is difficult right after the final whistle. Parken itself advises against driving up to the stadium on event days. Source: Parken.
