Buy the ticket at the terminal at the P+R entrance. The day pass (€4.20) lets you park from 4:30 until 2:00 the next morning; the 24, 48 and 72-hour tickets are counted from the time you drive in. Every ticket includes unlimited tram and bus travel in the Eurométropole for 1 to 7 people from the car. Validate it each time you board, including when you change trams. The first 30 minutes are free, which covers a drop-off at the tram.
Holders of a CTS season pass park free at every P+R except Rotonde, which needs its own subscription. After 72 hours each extra 24 hours costs €20 and no longer includes transport, so the P+R is not designed for week-long parking.
CTS runs 12 P+R car parks with more than 4,000 spaces. Pick the one on your approach road:
| P+R | Line | Minutes to the centre |
|---|---|---|
| Rotonde (northwest) | Tram A or D | 5 |
| Ducs d’Alsace | Tram A | 8 |
| Parc des Romains (west) | Tram F | 9 |
| Elsau (west, off the A35) | Tram B | 11 |
| Rives de l’Aar (north) | Tram B | 11 |
| Baggersee (south, A35 exit Baggersee) | Tram A or E | 15 |
| Boecklin | Tram E | 17 |
| Poteries | Tram D | 18 |
| Hoenheim Gare (north) | Tram B | 20 |
| Espace Européen de l’Entreprise | Bus G | 20 |
| Kibitzenau (south) | Tram C | 22 |
| Wolfisheim Henri Rendu (west) | Tram F | 25 |
Journey times from the CTS park-and-ride list. Baggersee has 460 spaces and Elsau also takes camper vans and coaches.
Street parking is paid Monday to Saturday from 9:00 to 19:00 and free on Sundays and public holidays. The red zone covers the centre and allows 3 hours at most, the orange zone 4 hours and the green zone 5 hours. Short violet bays cost €1 for an hour, with a 1 h 30 maximum. Pay at the meter (coins, card or phone) or with the EasyPark or Indigo Neo apps, and enter your plate exactly; a ticket is valid only in the zone you chose.
If you do not pay or overstay, you owe a forfait post-stationnement (FPS): €17 if paid within 3 days, otherwise €35 (€35 in violet bays). The FPS is sent to the vehicle’s registered keeper.
Most car parks in the city charge a €2 flat rate in the evening and at night, according to the city.
For a hotel stay in the centre, a booked space is easier than the street. These Strasbourg car parks are listed on Parclick (price shown for your dates):

On Sundays and public holidays all street parking is free, and on other days paid hours end at 19:00. The city also has just over 1,000 free blue-zone spaces, where you set a European parking disc. The P+R car parks are free for the first 30 minutes only.
The whole Eurométropole is a low-emission zone, 24 hours a day, except some motorway sections. Every car, including foreign-registered ones, needs a Crit’Air sticker. Crit’Air 5 and unclassified vehicles have been banned since January 2023 and Crit’Air 4 since January 2024. The Crit’Air 3 ban is scheduled for January 2027, but a proposal to move it to 1 January 2028 is under public consultation in autumn 2026. Crit’Air 2 will be banned in Strasbourg, Schiltigheim, Ostwald and Holtzheim in 2028. Driving without a sticker or with a banned one can be fined. Source: Eurométropole de Strasbourg – ZFE-m.
Do you need a car in Strasbourg? Not for the city: trams reach the centre from every P+R in 5 to 25 minutes. A car is worth it for the Alsace Wine Route, Colmar or the Vosges. Compare car hire at Strasbourg Airport (SXB) on DiscoverCars, and read our Colmar parking guide before you go.
