Free parking
On-street parking in Hønefoss is normally free in the evening, at night and on Sundays and public holidays — but the charging hours are set by the municipality and shown on the sign, so always check the signs. Car parks and garages usually charge around the clock. The most reliable free options are park-and-ride sites and time-limited parking-disc spaces.
- Sundays: free at municipal spaces
- Hønefoss arena: free at marked spaces
- At Hønefoss station, short-stay drop-off and pick-up parking is free; standard parking costs 50 kr per 24 hrs.
- A valid disabled permit gives free parking at municipal spaces. Display the card clearly.
EV charging and parking
28 charging points at the municipality's parking spaces (operation and payment in cooperation with Kople), including 22 at Hofgaard / Hønefoss church.
Electric and hydrogen cars now normally pay the ordinary charge on municipal parking. There is no national free-or-discount rule — each municipality decides for itself whether to grant an exemption (Parking Regulations § 34), and more and more charge the full price. Check locally.
The national EV rules (charging bay vs. parking space, cross-parking, why the price varies) are on the EV parking page.
Disabled parking
At municipal spaces it is free for people with reduced mobility and a valid card (remember the permit). There are 21 reserved disabled bays, four of them with charging (Hofgaard by the church).
The national disabled-parking rules (what the card gives you, applying, double time) are on the disabled parking page.
Motorhome parking
Allowed: Hønefoss has signed motorhome spaces at Tippen by the waterfall in the summer season.
Relevant locations:
- Tippen by the waterfall: the outer-zone rate applies, 19 kr/hour or 63 kr until 07:00 the following day. Cars and caravans may not use the reserved motorhome bays.
The daily payment runs until 07:00 the following day and is not a rolling 24-hour period.
Common mistakes and fines
