Look after your car Car Parking Review

Many of the street level car parks in Strasbourg are occupied by men (unofficial) hussling you for money to look after your car. They will normally tell you not to put any money in the machine, but to give it to them. I have used these car-parks twice, and both times the men where still there when I returned to get my car, and there was no problems.

Additionally, Strasbourg has quite a problem with youth crime, and the arson of cars is not unknown. It is best not to leave your car on a quiet street, but to put it in guarded car-parks. For the same reason, don`t leave any valuables on show.

Fun Alternatives: Whilst I had no problems, it is a little odd, and there is no guarantee that you won`t get a ticket, towed, or broken into. I prefer to leave my car in one of the underground official car-parks. Be warned though, on weekends these get full very quickly, so come early to save waiting for a space.
