At Phoenix Center, initial parking hour is priced significantly higher.
Flip-Flop on Phoenix Center Parking Fees - Heading to the Phoenix Center in Harburg for a quick shopping spree just got a whole lot pricier, my friend! A new parking fee structure came into effect on Monday, January 6th, and it's got drivers suffixing their wallets. The first hour now costs a whopping one euro, doubling the previous rate.
The uptick is due to escalating costs across the board, as the center management explains: "We've been hit by a general cost trend, including increased energy, personnel, service provider, and maintenance costs, as well as keeping the current standard."
Still, the second hour remains affordable at one euro. Compared to the previous rate of 1.50 euros, it seems like a small fish, right? Each subsequent hour adds an extra 1.50 euros to your tab.
With about 1,400 parking spots across three levels, the Phoenix Center's parking garage should accommodate most of your shopping needs. But back in 2016, when the food court was opened, there were around 200 more parking spaces in the basement. Free parking for the first hour was common when the Phoenix Center originally opened, around 20 years ago.
So, while a visit to the Phoenix Center might burn a hole in your pocket, it still remains an affordable parking option compared to public parking in Harburg's city center, as the center has been classified as Zone 2. That means hourly rates on public parking lots set you back by 3 euros.
Keep in mind that the area around Harburg offers a variety of parking options, including public lots and garages.
