Where can you park with a disabled parking card in Copenhagen?
Free parking and extra time.
Short answer
With a disabled parking card displayed in the windscreen you can park for free on public parking spaces in Copenhagen, in all paid zones. The card also gives extra time: up to 1 hour where the sign allows 15 or 30 minutes, and no time limit where it allows 1, 2 or 3 hours. Where parking is banned or only loading is allowed, you may stay up to 15 minutes. The card never allows parking where stopping is banned.
Why
- The city has a map of marked visitor disabled spaces on public roads.
- On a space that is also a disabled bay you must still set the parking disc.
- Parking on a disabled space without a card costs DKK 1,020 in 2026.
Details
You can apply to the city for a disabled space, with or without a number-plate sign, using its online forms.
Tip
Use the city's map of disabled visitor spaces to plan where to stop before you drive into the centre.
What may differ
Private car parks set their own rules, so free parking with the card may not apply there.
Common misconception
Many think the disabled card lets you park anywhere, even where stopping is banned.
What actually happens
A stopping ban applies to everyone, also drivers with a disabled parking card.
