Get information about Green Parking Zones Copenhagen
The Green Parking Zone in Copenhagen covers large parts of the bridge quarters and areas close to the city centre. The zone is part of Copenhagen Municipality's parking system, which is divided into four colours – red, green, blue, and yellow – depending on the distance to the city centre and price level. The green zone functions as an intermediate level between the expensive red zone and the cheaper blue zone.
