Parking in Knokke-Heist
Planning a visit to Knokke-Heist by car? Then it’s important to understand the local parking rules. The town is divided into several zones, each with its own rates and conditions. The guide below gives a clear overview so you can park stress-free during your visit.
Free parking in Knokke-Heist
In Knokke, there are several opportunities for free parking, depending on the zone, time of day, and location.
At Shop & Go spots, you can park free for 30 minutes – perfect for quick errands. No ticket is needed; sensors track your stay. Exceed the time limit and you’ll receive an €80 fine per day. These spots are marked by a Shop & Go sign and red road markings.
In the red and orange zones, parking is free daily from 7 pm to 11 am. In the green zone, parking is free on school days from 11 am to 7 pm.
In the blue zone, you can park for free from 7 pm to 11 am on school days. This does not apply to church, sports centre, or culture centre car parks. Don’t forget your parking disc – even when parking is free, the usual rules still apply.
If you’re willing to walk a bit further, you can park for free all day in these areas:
- South of the Izabellavaart, near Heistlaan, Westkapellestraat, Natiënlaan, and Kalfstraat
- East of Zwinlaan, Bronlaan, and Paulusstraat, where quiet residential streets allow parking without a ticket or disc
Paid parking: zones and tariffs

- Orange zone: €2.50 per hour. Maximum stay: 4 hours.
- Green zone: €2.30 per hour or €12.50 for a full day. All-day parking is allowed. This zone is only paid on weekends, school holidays, and public holidays.

If you’re staying longer in the centre, the best option is one of the underground car parks. They’re modern, easy to access, and within walking distance of shops, cafés, and the beach – ideal during busy weekends or holidays.
