Parking near P+R Amsterdam

Amsterdam's city centre is compact, lively and not designed for cars. Narrow canal streets, crowds and limited parking space quickly make parking in the city centre time-consuming and expensive. That's why Park and Ride is the ideal way to visit the city: you leave your car just outside the busy centre and switch to public transport, which takes you to the heart of Amsterdam in no time.

Coming from the west or north? Then Q-Park Bos en Lommer on Leeuwendalersweg is the obvious choice. The car park is located beneath the Bos en Lommer shopping centre and is easily accessible via the A10. With almost 500 parking spaces, there's plenty of room, and thanks to direct access to the shopping centre, you can easily pick up some groceries after a day in the city before heading home. From the car park, tram 7 and bus 21 take you to the city centre in around half an hour.

Coming from the south or east, for example via the A2 or the A10 East? Then park at a great rate at Q-Park Amstel on Julianaplein. The car park is right next to Amsterdam Amstel station, giving you the choice of train, metro, tram and bus. Within minutes, you'll be at places such as Waterlooplein, Nieuwmarkt or Amsterdam Central Station. Notable sights nearby, such as the Royal Theatre Carré, the Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge) and Amstelpark, are also within easy reach.

At both locations, number plate recognition lets you drive in and out quickly and easily, without a parking ticket. Want to be sure of a space, for example on busy weekends, during the holidays or when there's a major event in the city? Then book your parking space online in advance. You'll know exactly where you stand and can focus entirely on your day in Amsterdam, whether that's a museum visit, an afternoon shopping in the Nine Streets (De 9 Straatjes) or a night out.
