Luxembourg City's park and ride sites are free for the first 24 hours, and since March 2020 every bus and tram in the country is free too. A day trip can cost you nothing in parking.
My plan: leave the car at P+R Bouillon and take the bus in. If I need the old town by car, I'd use the Glacis at €1 an hour on a weekday, or Fort Neipperg's two free hours by the station.
Parking in Luxembourg: Free outside, €2 an hour under Place Guillaume
1. Park at a P+R first
The city runs P+R Bouillon, Kockelscheuer and Luxembourg-Sud on the edges. All three are free for the first 24 hours, then €10 for each started day. Buses 10 and 14/22 run from Bouillon to the station every 30 minutes, and you don't need a ticket. Bouillon's indoor deck shuts 06:00–22:00, but you can drive out at any hour.
2. Read the kerb by colour
The city's own page lists four zones. Orange is €2 an hour, two hours at most, Monday to Saturday 08:00–18:00. Yellow is €1 an hour, green €2 for the first three hours then €1.50, violet €0.50 for up to ten hours; those three charge Monday to Friday only. Pay at the meter or with Indigo Neo (the city's parking app), which works from your plate. The centre, Gare and Clausen have exceptions, so the sign wins.
3. Do the sum before Knuedler
Knuedler and Monterey sit right under the old town. Both charge €2 an hour from 07:00 to 17:00, rising to €20.40 for eight hours and €26.80 for ten. After 17:00 it drops to €0.80 an hour, so an evening there is cheap. Height is 2.00 m.
4. Use the Glacis on weekdays
The open-air Glacis in Limpertsberg is €1 an hour, Monday to Friday 08:00–18:00. Eight hours costs €8 against Knuedler's €20.40. Two guides say Saturday and Sunday are free there.
5. Weigh your car before the station
The Gare car park is €2 an hour by day, €1 at night, height 2.10 m, and it bans anything over 2.5 tonnes. Plenty of big EVs and SUVs are heavier. Fort Neipperg nearby takes up to 3.5 t and gives two free hours (four on Saturday).
I found no low-emission zone and no car toll or vignette in Luxembourg. A foreign car registers nothing.

Towed in Luxembourg: Only a police officer can call the truck
1. Ring 113 before anything else
A government answer to Parliament in July 2025 says only a police officer with judicial-police status can order a car removed. Neither the city nor the police publishes a car pound address. Ring the police on 113 and ask where it went.
2. Budget about €230 for one night
There's no official tariff online. Luxembourg press reports in 2025 give about €190 for a tow 08:00–18:00 on a working day, €214 in the evening or at the weekend, plus €20 per 12 hours in the pound. A daytime tow and one night is about €230, before the fine.
3. Add the ticket on top
The Code de la route fines run €24 for prohibited parking, €49 where stopping is banned too, and €145 in a disabled bay. The fine for an expired meter isn't published. The owner pays the tow from the moment it starts, so I wouldn't try arguing at the kerb.
On private land the police won't tow at all. That's the owner's problem, not yours, but don't count on it.
If your car has disappeared
- Who took it
- The Police grand-ducale. Only a police officer with judicial-police status can order a car removed from the public road, and the costs fall on the vehicle's owner from the moment the operation starts. On private land the police cannot act
- Phone
- Police grand-ducale, if the car is gone: 113
City traffic department (Service Circulation), Mon–Fri 08:00–16:00, for parking questions: +352 4796 2310 - Collect it at
- No car pound address is published by the city or the police. Ask the police on 113 which pound the car went to.
- Hours
- Not published.
- What it costs
- Press figures, not an official tariff: about €190 08:00–18:00 on working days, €214 evenings and weekends, plus €20 per 12 hours of storage (€40 a day in 2020). Fines on top: €24 prohibited parking, €49 no stopping or parking, €145 in a disabled bay.
- Bring
- Nothing is published for visitors. I would bring my driving licence, passport, the registration document and a bank card.
EV charging in Luxembourg: Chargy with a bank card, 70 bays at Bouillon
1. Tap your card at the post
Chargy is the national network, more than 700 stations, about 100 in the capital according to a guide. You can pay by bank card without a contract; the price shows on the screen. No official tariff is published online. A guide gives €0.49 per kWh since March 2025.
2. Fast-charge at Kirchberg
The first SuperChargy site opened in 2021 at the University of Luxembourg, Kirchberg. These posts run at 160–350 kW and take bank cards at a fixed price on the terminal; a guide gives €0.63 per kWh.
3. Charge where you park free
P+R Bouillon lists 70 EV spaces, far more than any garage in town (Glacis 32, Fort Neipperg 20, Knuedler 18). The city doesn't price the charging, so read the screen first.
My pick is Bouillon: free parking for a day, the most plugs, and a free bus to town.
Where to charge
- Chargy, the national network — Posts on streets, in city car parks and at the P+R sites; about 100 in the capital according to a guide. Pay by bank card at the post without a contract; the price is on the screen. No official tariff online; a guide gives €0.49 per kWh since March 2025
- SuperChargy, Kirchberg campus — University of Luxembourg, Kirchberg, the first SuperChargy site (2021). 160–350 kW; bank card accepted at a fixed price shown on the terminal. A guide gives €0.63 per kWh
- P+R Bouillon: 70 EV spaces — P+R Bouillon, west of the centre. The most EV spaces of any city car park; one of the first three Chargy sites in 2013. Parking is free for 24 hours
Free parking in Luxembourg: Twenty-four free hours and a free ride in
1. Stay a day at the P+R
Every city P+R is free for 24 hours. With free buses, a full day costs €0. Against Knuedler's €26.80 for ten hours, that's the whole saving.
2. Grab two hours at Fort Neipperg
The first two hours are free on weekdays and Sundays, four on Saturdays. That's enough for a station pick-up or a quick lunch in the Gare district.
3. Park on Sunday, and some Saturdays
Even the orange zone stops charging on Sunday and public holidays. Yellow, green and violet zones also stop on Saturday. The Glacis is free at weekends, except during the fair and the Sunday market.
4. Don't expect a free hotel car park
No hotel I checked says on its own site that parking is free. Best Western's page for Hotel Parc Belair lists €30 a night.
Every price on this page was checked on the city's own car park pages on 12 October 2026.
Free or nearly-free spots
P+R Bouillon, Kockelscheuer, Luxembourg-Sud
Free for the first 24 hours at every city P+R, then €10 a day. Buses and trams are free nationwide since 1 March 2020.
Two free hours at Fort Neipperg
The first two hours are free on weekdays and Sundays, four hours on Saturdays, by the station.
Glacis at the weekend
The city charges only Monday to Friday 08:00–18:00; two guides say Saturday and Sunday are free. Not during the Schueberfouer or the Sunday market.
Kerb on Sundays and holidays
Even the orange zone charges Monday to Saturday only; yellow, green and violet zones are free on Saturday too. Check the sign.
⚠ The small print on 'free' parking
- No hotel I checked says on its own site that parking is free. Best Western's page for Hotel Parc Belair lists parking at €30 a night; the B&B at Cloche d'Or marks its car park as paid.
- The Gare car park bans vehicles over 2.5 tonnes. Many large EVs and SUVs weigh more; use Fort Neipperg (3.5 t) next door.
- The city car parks also ban studded tyres and LPG or CNG cars (Knuedler, Monterey, Fort Neipperg, Bouillon).
- I found no low-emission zone in Luxembourg City and no car toll or vignette in the country; the Eurovignette covers only lorries of 12 tonnes and above.
- Luxembourg had 225,840 incoming cross-border workers in 2023 (STATEC). The city publishes no peak hours; the car parks' cheap band starts at 17:00.
- There is no published car pound address and no official towing tariff online; the fees here come from Luxembourg press reports in 2020 and 2025.
