A big part of Strasbourg downtown is reserved for pedestrians ; streets are narrow, often full of tourists, and '''all parking places require a payment''', else you could be fined. Parking is free on sunday and from 7PM to 8AM but finding a place is truly a challenge !

If you wish to reach the center just for a few hours, you can find a [http://www.strasbourg.eu/deplacement/informations/Plan_tarifs_voirie.jpg?FileID=documentsprincipaux%2fse_deplacer%2fstationnement_residant%2fplan_tarifs_voirie.jpg public parking]. The closest they are to the center, to more expensive they are.

Our advice is that you should let you car outside the town and get in a tram. Some parkings located near a tram stop are called "'''P+R'''" for [http://www.cts-strasbourg.fr/Tarifs/Tickets/tabid/595/language/fr-FR/Default.aspx#p_r "Parking and Relay"]. There you can park your vehicule and get a return ticket for every passenger up to 7 people for '''2,90 €''' (except the closest one, ''Rotonde'', costing 3,60 €). P+R are open from Monday to Saturday from 7AM to 8PM but don't worry, if you come back later, you can always get out of the parking.
