Parking Bourbon Street, Amsterdam

Reserve bookable private parking near Bourbon Street with Mobypark

If you’re looking for parking Bourbon Street in Amsterdam (Leidseplein), the quickest way to avoid last-minute stress is to pre-book. Mobypark makes private parking spots available that owners don’t actively use—think hotel parking, office-building spaces, private driveways, and unused garages—so you can arrive with a confirmed place instead of hunting for street spots in a busy paid area.

Use the search bar with your dates to filter availability for the exact time window you need, then compare with public options like street parking and nearby garages.

Street parking near Leidseplein: why it’s hard (and expensive)

Leidseplein itself is effectively car-free, so street parking “right by” Bourbon Street is usually not realistic. On top of that, you’re in Amsterdam’s paid parking area within the A10 ring, where costs rise closer to the city centre. For the immediate Leidseplein/Leidsekruisstraat area, the street rate is €8,05 per hour, 24/7 (including holidays), so even a short stop can add up quickly.

Instead of risking paid street parking at €8,05/h while you circle around searching for a free space, compare it with a pre-booked private spot on Mobypark.

Garages for evenings and longer stays (and what to watch for)

Nearby paid garages are often a more predictable choice than the street—especially if you’re arriving late. Typical garage pricing around this area starts from roughly €4–€7 per hour, and some garages offer evening or weekend tariffs (with minimum parking durations), which can be useful if your plans run past dinner.

For example, one well-known option in the Leidseplein area has an evening rate of €15 from 18:00–06:00 (with a minimum of 3 hours), and a weekend day rate of €20 for up to 24 hours (also with a minimum of 3 hours). Deals like these can help—but availability still depends on how quickly the garage fills.

This is where Mobypark can make a difference: even if a public garage has an attractive tariff, a pre-booked private spot reduces the chance you’ll arrive after “deal hours” and have to fall back to expensive street parking.

Permits and P+R: two very different options

Resident permits in Amsterdam Centrum are expensive and not intended for visitors; they’re tied to specific permit areas and typically involve long waiting lists. If you don’t have a valid permit for the correct area, plan on garages, paid parking rules, or P+R.

P+R can be a cost-effective fallback when you want to avoid premium city-centre rates. Reduced P+R pricing is available if you travel into the centre by public transport and check in within the rules (and leave within the allowed window). Typical reduced pricing is around €6 per 24 hours on weekdays after 10:00 and on weekends/holidays; before 10:00 it can be higher for the first 24 hours. Without OV use, daily costs can be higher. P+R typically allows up to 96 hours (with exceptions like shorter limits for specific P+R locations).

If you prefer to stay closer and reduce walking/time pressure near Bourbon Street, compare P+R with a pre-booked Mobypark private spot for a more direct arrival.

Choose the right option based on your arrival time

If you’re parking for a late evening, look specifically for night/late tariffs and note any minimum parking duration in garages. If you’re unsure you’ll find availability, pre-booking is usually the biggest upgrade to your plan—whether you choose a public garage or a Mobypark private spot.
