On-street parking in the city

Besides the P&R lots and car parks, you can also park your car in the city. In the city centre, or in a suburb. You pay for this, of course. Parking meters in the city centre no longer issue a ticket that you put behind the window. Parking and payment are now based on license plate number. Paying at these machines can only be done with a bank card, V-pay or credit card. There are also several handy apps that can take care of it for you.
