We know that parking in Amsterdam can be a bit of a hassle from time to time. Parking spaces in the city are limited and expensive. We’d like to emphasize that it’s worth doing a bit of research before parking your car. Not doing any research at all can result in all sorts of trouble, as the picture below proofs. You definitely don’t want to get in the same sort of trouble as the motorist below. The picture reported by local news broadcast AT5 shows that this car owner isn’t going to get home just yet.

We checked out the the car four days later. Although the situation got a bit better, it still doesn’t seem like a good spot. So if you plan on coming to Amsterdam by car, better be sure to come prepared!

I grew up in Weesp, just outside Amsterdam, which has since become part of the city itself. My fascination with Amsterdam started by showing family and friends from abroad around the city and its surrounding areas, which eventually inspired me to co-found Things To Do In Amsterdam. As someone passionate about boating and watersports, Amsterdam’s canals have always been one of my favourite parts of the city. My favourite Amsterdam event is SAIL, and I still think one of the best ways to experience Amsterdam is from the water on a canal cruise. When travelling, I enjoy going beyond the beaten path by renting a car or scooter and exploring destinations independently — an approach that also shapes the content I create about Amsterdam.
