Advance Planning: What You Should Do the Week Before the Event

• Check official notices: The event website and the City of Landshut often provide information about closures, Park & Ride (P+R) offers, and shuttle connections for the event day.
• Plan arrival time: For highly demanded dates, arrive 60–90 minutes before the program starts to handle entry and walking routes in a relaxed manner.
• Remember alternative routes: In case of construction sites or temporary one-way regulations, save a second access route early.
• Ticket/reservation, if offered: Some parking garages or P+R areas offer booking options or digital payment methods in advance.

Recommended Parking Options for Upcoming Events

Central Parking Garages for Short Walks

For events in or near the old town, centrally located parking garages are practical—especially around Wittstraße, Mühleninsel, Alter Viehmarkt, and Gestütstraße (Freyung). They usually offer clearly marked rates, defined maximum charges, and short walks to stages, markets, or concert halls.

Outdoor Areas Near the City Center

For upcoming major events, large outdoor parking lots near the old town, especially in the Grieserwiese area on Wittstraße, are often the first points of contact. Note: For certain events, management may change or the area may be partially/completely closed. Advance notices from the city provide guidance and name alternative areas.

Park & Ride (P+R) with Shuttle

For busier dates, the city often recommends P+R solutions with shuttle buses. Advantage: relaxed access, no traffic jams in the narrow old town, and scheduled return trips after the program ends.

Short-term Parking for Drop-off and Pick-up Services

If you are only bringing someone to the event or picking something up briefly, use designated short-term areas at the entrances to the old town. Pay attention to signage with maximum parking duration and rates at the machine or in the app.

On the Day of the Event: How to Avoid Bottlenecks

• Pay attention to dynamic signage: Notices about occupancy, closures, and detours guide you directly to available spaces.
• Use the outskirts: If the city center is full, switch to parking areas at major junctions (e.g., towards Oberndorfer Straße or "An der Überführung") and walk or take the bus for the last few minutes.
• Plan your return: For P+R, check the last shuttle departure to get back to your vehicle without time pressure.
• Watch the weather: In rain, heat, or snow, a parking garage with direct city center access may offer the most comfortable route.

Digital Assistance: Mobile Parking, Navigation, and Occupancy

• Mobile parking: Start, extend, or end parking times via app—practical if your stay is uncertain.
• Navigation: Save two destination addresses in advance (central parking garage + P+R alternative) to quickly replan if full.
• Live info: If the city or operators provide occupancy displays, check them shortly before arrival.
• Payment: Card and app payments reduce waiting times at the machine after the event ends.

Accessibility, Families, and E-Mobility

• Accessible parking spaces: Centrally located parking garages near the old town usually have disabled parking spaces near elevators. Check the signage on site.
• With strollers/luggage: Shorter walking distances and weather-protected access make it easier to reach stages, halls, and squares.
• E-mobility: Many central locations have designated charging points. Check the app/operator card, plug type, and possible reservability before arrival.
• Entrance heights: Check the entrance height of your chosen parking garage in advance, especially with vans or roof boxes.

Typical Event Scenarios in Landshut (Outlook 2025/2026)

City Center Festivals, Markets, and Cultural Evenings

Expect higher occupancy of parking garages in the immediate old town area and possible adjustments at Grieserwiese. Plan P+R as a relaxed alternative.

Open-Air Concerts and Stage Programs

Arrive significantly earlier to allow for security checks and walking distances. Use parking garages with well-lit, short return routes for a late event end.

Sports Events and Tournaments

With parallel games/home departures, there are peaks in departure traffic. Check alternative exits in advance and pay attention to shuttle intervals.

Checklist for the Day Before

1. Read event notices from the city/organizer (closures, P+R, shuttle).
2. Save two parking destinations (central parking garage + P+R alternative).
3. Check mobile parking/charging app and update payment data.
4. Plan arrival time 60–90 minutes before the program starts.
5. Check weather, entrance height, and walking distance to the event location.

Important Notes for Upcoming Dates

Traffic management, operations, and shuttle services may vary depending on the event. Check signage and current city announcements on the day of the event.
