💰 Helvetiaplatz prices ↓

Updated 11 November 2026· Tariff and facilities: City of Zurich «Standorte und Konditionen» · Location: City of Zurich Open Data·

💰 Helvetiaplatz prices: CHF 4 an hour, no jumps

The tariff is a straight line: 1 hour CHF 4, 2 hours CHF 8, 5 hours CHF 20. No free start, no pricey hour that suddenly doubles everything.

After the first hour the City charges CHF 1 per quarter hour started. Stay 1 hour and 5 minutes and you pay CHF 5, not CHF 8.

Unlike the Heuried car park, whose tariff jumps after a few hours, you can do the sums in your head here. Two hours in the nearby car parks with a published tariff cost between CHF 8 and CHF 9; in the nearest, City Parking (0.6 km), CHF 8.
