Norwich Parking

Norwich city centre parking can be especially challenging because all on-street parking within the city centre is restricted and chargeable.

Charges for on-street parking in Norwich city centre are payable by cash at the Pay and Display machines. Prices are:

• Band A: £2.50 per hour
• Band B: £1.70 per hour

To know which band a space is in, and to find out which restrictions are in operation, be sure to check the Pay and Display machines and street signs.

Norwich Airport doesn’t have its own train station, so parking spaces nearby are in particularly high demand. Book in advance with YourParkingSpace to ensure your cheap, convenient parking space is waiting for you when you arrive at the airport.

Norwich is a great city in which to spend a long weekend. It is the most complete medieval city in the UK, with old cobbled streets, and more medieval churches still standing than in any other city north of the Alps. The Adam and Eve pub is believed to be the oldest pub in the city, and it is well worth a visit.

If you’re planning a city break to Norwich, make sure you don’t leave the following popular tourist spots off your itinerary:

• Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery
• Norwich Cathedral
• Plantation Garden
• The Forum

However, Norwich is not just about the urban landscape. It is the only English city that is actually inside a National Park. The Broads National Park is a network of navigable rivers and lakes. It is a beloved boating holiday destination, and there are plenty of boat rental companies to choose from in Norwich and the surrounding area.
