Where can you park with a resident permit in Copenhagen?

Your zone, its car park and a few exceptions.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

A resident permit lets you park on the streets of the licence zone that covers your address. In some zones, marked dot streets (prikgader) are not covered on weekdays between 10 and 17, so you must pay normal parking there. You may also park for free in the municipal car park in your licence zone, but the underground car parks need a chip or access card. In the Medieval City (Indre By) you may only park in marked bays or in nine private car parks where the city has reserved spaces.

Why

  1. Some streets belong to two zones, for example odd numbers in one and even numbers in the other.
  2. The Visitors app gives free parking for up to three days in some private car parks.
  3. The city has leased 2,400 private spaces across 10 licence zones.

Details

In the Medieval City, the Israels Plads car park needs an access card, while the other eight use the Visitors app.

Tip

Check the PDF zone map for your zone, as it shows street by street where the permit is valid.

What may differ

Zone borders and dot streets can change, and signs on the street always take priority.

Common misconception

Many believe a resident permit is valid anywhere in Copenhagen.

What actually happens

It only covers your own licence zone, so in other zones you pay like any other driver.
