FAQ Parking Harlingen

If you are travelling to Terschelling or Vlieland soon, it is best to park your car in the long-term car parks P1/P2/P3 (also known as 'Tsjerk Hides') on Harlingerstraatweg. Will you be sailing with the Bruine Vloot soon? The best place to park your car is at Westerzeedijk. If you are travelling to Harlingen to visit our port city, the best place to park your car is in the Waddenpromenade multi-storey car park or at one of our short-term parking locations.

Pre-booking is recommended for island parking. Please book online so that you are assured of a parking space for your car. Your booking is based on your registration number, so all you will need to do is park your car. Have you not made a reservation or are you unable to make a reservation? Don't worry, there is always plenty of parking. Have you decided to stay a little longer on the islands or in Harlingen? Simply pay the difference when you leave. Book your parking space online here. You can also reserve your parking spot for the Bruine Vloot. Please note: pre-booking for parking for Waddenpromenade is not available.

If you are travelling to Harlingen for a visit to Terschelling or Vlieland, you will be directed to our parking facilities by road signs. The address is: Skieppedykje 1, 18872 NA Midlum. A shuttle bus runs from these facilities, taking you to the Waddenpromenade where the ferries of Rederij Doeksen depart. Please leave well in advance; we advise you to arrive in Harlingen at least one hour before departure for the islands. This way you won’t need to worry about parking, and you will have a relaxed start to your holiday. More about travelling to Harlingen can be found on the page about the route to the locations.

The long-term parking P1/P2/P3, the Waddenpromenade multi-storey car park and the Bruine Vloot parking on Westerzeedijk are open daily from 7:00 am to 8:30 pm. Entry and exit is only possible between these times, with the exception of the Waddenpromenade parking garage: here, you can exit 24 hours a day (this does not apply to entering). On Fridays, the parking lot for the 'Bruine Vloot' is open until 10:00 PM (April to September). If there are changes in the sailing schedule of Rederij Doeksen, we will adjust the opening hours of the parking facilities P1/P2/P3 accordingly.

The timetable for our free shuttle bus is tailored to the sailing schedule of Rederij Doeksen. We want to drop you off on time at the Waddenpromenade, but please be aware of possible traffic delays and consider taking an earlier shuttle bus so you can board the Rederij Doeksen ferry on time.

The shuttle bus uses HVO100 fuel. This diesel variant is composed of vegetable oils, waste, residual oils, and fats. This reduces the greenhouse gas emissions (CO2e) of the fuel by up to 90% compared to regular fossil diesel.
