Parking in Malmö – Finding Your Way Through Zones and Apps

How Parking Works in Malmö

Just like in the rest of Sweden, Malmö’s parking is divided into public on-street and private off-street parking.

The city sets the rules — but every sign is the law on site.

Parking Zones and Fees

Malmö is divided into three main parking zones.
The closer you get to the city centre, the higher the price.

You can pay easily via the Parkering Malmö, EasyPark, or Parkster apps. Always check the sign — rates and hours can change from one street to the next.

Residential Parking in Malmö

If you live in Malmö, you can apply for a residential parking permit in your area.
It lets you park longer and cheaper on streets marked with an area code.

How it works:

• Apply online via malmo.se/boendeparkering
  
• The permit is linked directly to your licence plate
  
• Costs range from 400 to 900 SEK/month, depending on zone
  
• Valid only in your residential area
  

It’s not free — but it saves time, stress, and a lot of unnecessary car-moving.

Electric Cars and Charging Stations in Malmö

Malmö is investing heavily in electric mobility.
There are already 1,500+ public charging points, and more are added every month.

For property owners, housing associations (BRFs), and companies:

• Charging infrastructure is required in new or renovated buildings
  
• Klimatklivet grants can cover up to 50% of installation costs
  
• AC chargers (11–22 kW) are most common for residential and long-term parking
  

Parkit helps Malmö properties combine parking and charging in one smart digital system — making management easy and transparent.

Common Parking Mistakes in Malmö

• Parking too close to a crossing or intersection (less than 10 m → fine)
  
• Parking on a cycle path (especially near Triangeln)
  
• Forgetting street-cleaning days → car gets moved
  
• Forgetting to end your session in the app → timer keeps running
  
• Parking at an EV charging spot without charging → fine, even if you paid
  

A moment’s distraction can turn into a 1,000 SEK lesson — read the signs before you park.

Digital Parking in Malmö

All parking in Malmö is now digital.
No parking discs, no paper tickets — everything is linked to your licence plate.

Apps that work:

• Parkering Malmö
  
• EasyPark
  
• Parkster
  

Benefits:

• Start, extend, or stop parking directly from your phone
  
• Get notifications before time runs out
  
• Pay with Swish, card, or company account
  

Digital parking makes it easier to do right — and harder to forget.

The Future of Parking in Malmö

Malmö is reshaping its parking landscape:

• More EV chargers in residential areas
  
• More shared spaces for car pools, bikes, and scooters
  
• Less car traffic in the city centre, more smart parking in outer zones
  

Parking is becoming part of Malmö’s sustainable city planning — not an obstacle to it.

Parkit’s Perspective

We believe in order, clarity, and technology that helps people in everyday life.
Parking shouldn’t feel like a guessing game — it should feel like a service.

When you understand how it works, Malmö suddenly becomes a much easier city to navigate.
