Parking in Lillehammer
On-street parking in Lillehammer is charged Monday–Friday 09–17 and Saturday 09–15, with a progressive rate where the price changes hour by hour. At the machines you can pay in arrears, so you only pay for the actual parking time. On some municipal streets there is time-limited free parking requiring a parking disc. EVs pay the same charge as fossil-fuel cars, but charging at the municipality's charging bays is free during charging hours.

Free parking
On-street parking in Lillehammer 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.
- Time-limited free parking with a parking disc on some municipal streets (no disc = 330 kr)
- Free charging at the municipality's charging bays during charging hours (09–17 weekdays, 09–15 Sat)
- On municipal streets with a parking disc, parking is free within the time shown on the sign
EV charging and parking
EVs pay the same parking charge as fossil-fuel cars. 20 municipal spaces have chargers, and the charging itself is free between 09–17 (weekdays) and 09–15 (Saturday) – after that there is no power at the charging points.
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
People with reduced mobility and a parking permit – follow the signs at the municipal spaces.
The national disabled-parking rules (what the card gives you, applying, double time) are on the disabled parking page.
