Zoom-Out: A Citywide Overview

Taking a step back to view Malmö as a whole, parking follows a familiar pattern: paid spaces are densest in and around the city centre while cheaper or more plentiful options appear as you move toward outer neighbourhoods. As shown on the map, parking opportunities span the entire metropolitan area.

In central areas such as Malmö Centrum, Västra Inner Staden and Södra Inner Staden you’ll mainly find paid parking. Outside the core – toward districts like Hyllie, Kulladal, Fosie, and Rosengård – parking is generally easier to find, and cheaper and often completely free.

Understanding Malmö’s Parking ‘Taxa’ System

Malmö’s paid parking areas are divided into seven different taxa (rates). Each taxa sets its own parking fees – most depending on the time of day – with areas closer to downtown generally costing more. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Taxa A, taxa B, and taxa C: Cover central Malmö, where parking is most expensive and always requires a fee.

Taxa D, taxa E, taxa F and taxa Pendlar: Offer cheaper parking than taxa A-C and is easier to find an available parking spot.

Free Parking Outside Taxa Zones

Outside Malmö’s designated parking zones you’ll find plenty of free parking spots, particularly in the outer residential and suburban areas – but they’re often invisible to standard parking and payment apps, which makes them hard to discover.

That’s where Parkopilot helps: it maps out those hidden free parking options across Malmö. Whether you live in the city or are just stopping by, Parkopilot makes it much easier to spot free parking and avoid paying unnecessary fees.

Parkopilot shows full details on each parking spot including parking type, restrictions, and limitations.
