Street parking in the centre of Amsterdam is also the most expensive in the country, with a charge of €7.50 per hour. Next in the ranking are Utrecht (€6.64) and The Hague (€5.80). In Rotterdam parking fees have risen 30% over the past year to an average of €5.50.

Over the past five years, parking charges have risen by 29% in the biggest 22 cities but The Hague tops the lot, by putting up parking fees by 141% since 2018, website parkerenindestad.nl said.
