Letzigrund parking 2026: 17 car parks, none at the stadium

🏟️ Stadium parking: 108 spaces, none for you

Beneath the Letzigrund lies an underground car park with 108 spaces, according to the City of Zurich’s official list. It is closed to visitors: the stadium says the underground garage and the Schlachthof lot are accessible only with a valid parking permit, and there is no parking on the stadium grounds.

Anyone arriving by car therefore parks nearby. According to ConvivaPlus’s analysis of the official list, there are 17 publicly accessible car parks within 1.2 km as the crow flies, with 4,402 spaces in total. For major events the City names three of them nearby: Hardau II, Crowne Plaza and Letzipark.

🎸 Concert parking: on paper 29 fans per space

For the Metallica open-air concert on 27 May 2026, the City expected about 48,000 people. The three car parks it names nearby have 1,663 spaces between them. On paper, that is 29 fans per space. Not everyone drives, but the figure explains why the City speaks of a “small number of parking spaces”. At the Hallenstadion, with a large car park right opposite, it is on paper 8 fans per space in the Messe car park.

The City also signposts four car parks in Kreis 5: Migros Herdern, Hardturm, P West and Pfingstweid, with 2,221 spaces. On such nights it also suspends “various parking spaces” around the Letzigrund.

⚽ Match parking: on Sundays the free car park is the dearer one

Letzipark advertises three free hours, but on Sundays the shopping centre is closed and every hour then costs CHF 3.–. For a Sunday match with four hours of parking, that is CHF 12.–. At Hardturm, 1,156 metres from the stadium, four hours from 2 pm cost CHF 4.–.

A Super League match brings up to 26,104 spectators according to the stadium operator, a little over half a big concert. On Saturdays the shopping centre is open until 20:00: drive in during the afternoon, leave within 3 hours, and Letzipark is free.

🅿️ Car park prices: same distance, CHF 7.50 vs CHF 15.–

Hardturm and Pfingstweid are practically the same distance from the stadium, 1,156 and 1,182 metres as the crow flies, and the City names both for major events. Arrive at 6 pm on a weekday and stay four hours: CHF 7.50 at Hardturm by the published rate, CHF 15.– at Pfingstweid. For a Sunday match at 2 pm: CHF 4.– vs CHF 15.–.

For the other 15 car parks in the area, neither the City nor the operator publishes a rate we can calculate, so the pay machine decides. The calculator above shows the two car parks with a rate for your arrival time and stay, and Zurich car parks lists every car park in the city. Which of them report free spaces right now is on the live board.

💸 Letzipark prices: free only until the shops close

With 1,242 spaces, Letzipark is the largest car park near the stadium, 75% of the spaces the City names nearby on its own. The operator says parking is free for up to 3 hours, but only during the shopping centre’s opening hours: Monday to Saturday 9:00 to 20:00, closed on Sundays.

After that, 3 to 3.5 hours cost CHF 2.–, up to 4 hours CHF 4.–, and each further hour CHF 6.–. At night (21:30 to 07:30) and on Sundays it is CHF 3.– an hour. For events at the Letzigrund, the operator writes that the normal rate applies (“Es gilt der normale Parktarif”). It does not say how a stay running past closing time is charged, so we don’t calculate it. Entry height: 2 m.

🚆 P+R Altstetten: 69 spaces for a whole stadium

The stadium recommends Park and Ride at Altstetten. According to SBB data, the 2 sites there have 69 spaces in total, for a night with 48,000 fans. It is hardly further than the car parks in Kreis 5: Altstetten / Westlink is 1,320 metres from the stadium, the furthest car park the City signposts 1,182 metres.

From P+R Altstetten, about ten minutes on foot or two stops on tram 2 (towards Tiefenbrunnen). Without a car, the City recommends the station: From Zurich Altstetten station it is about a 15-minute walk, or take bus 31 to the “Herdernstrasse” stop.

📲 Reserve a space: not at Letzipark

You cannot book a space at the largest car park: for events at the Letzigrund, Letzipark writes that reservations are not possible (“Parkplatzreservationen sind nicht möglich”). The stadium garage opens only with a permit, and neither the stadium nor the City names a car park where you can book for an event.
