Parking in Görlitz: New tariffs drastically reduce costs for residents!

In the Nikolaivorstadt of Görlitz, parking is now significantly cheaper for residents. For two weeks, residents of Hugo-Keller-Straße have had the opportunity to purchase a day ticket for just 4 euros, representing a saving of 2 euros compared to the previous price. This is a step towards reducing costs for night-time parking, as the adjustment also applies to the new night ticket, which is now available from 5 p.m. to 9 a.m. for just 1.50 euros - a significant improvement compared to the previous regulation, which only applied from 9 p.m. to 6:30 a.m.

In total, the parking lot on Hugo-Keller-Straße offers space for 119 cars, and in the entire Nikolaivorstadt around 500 vehicles compete for just 200 parking spaces. These rate changes are part of a broader strategy to improve the quality of life in the city by making parking easier for residents. According to Sächsische, the city aims to reduce night-time parking pressure and provide residents with good parking To allow hands to park.

Parking guidance system and general parking tariffs

Another important aspect of parking in Görlitz is the “Görlitzer Parkring” parking guidance system, which was introduced in 2011. This system was created to reduce the negative impact of parking search traffic. The parking ring runs along central streets such as Christoph-Lüders-Straße, Pontestraße and Bahnhofstraße. In this way, drivers are specifically directed to the nearest parking garages and parking spaces, which makes it easier to find a free parking space, as described on Görlitz.de.

The total capacity in the city is around 1,200 vehicles, which is still a respectable number for residents and visitors. Day parking permits for the city center can be purchased for 10 euros and are valid until the same time the following day. Fees can only be paid using coins, while contactless payments are possible at 16 parking ticket machines in the city center, spread across streets such as Obermarkt and Grüner Graben.

Special regulations and exceptions

Anyone visiting the city on the weekend can rejoice: parking is free on Sundays and public holidays. Not to be forgotten is the “roll pick-up” function, which allows drivers to park for free for 15 minutes. This is particularly practical if it's just a quick purchase. Parking in the surrounding Zgorzelec areas is also subject to charges. Parking here is regulated from Monday to Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., with various tariffs that give vehicle owners a choice.

In conclusion, it can be said that Görlitz is taking a good step in the right direction with the new tariffs and clever parking space management. In this way, the city shows a sense of responsibility towards its residents and at the same time creates a pleasant environment for its visitors.
