Cheapest car park in Belfast city centre?

Sor

Hi All,
Just wondering which car park is the best to park in in Belfast?

I know the In-Shops park is £1.80 an hour. The City Car Park (multistory beside Castlecourt) is £1.70 an hour.

Are any of the surface ones cheaper? Are they always full and waiting time is long to get in?

I like the city car park one as I can pay by credit card, but that is not really a big factor in choosing a park!

There's a car park beside Central Station that charges £5 a day, it's handy enough there, not too far a walk.

We used one on Saturday that has a big sign outside saying Parking no more than £3. It is opposite the Waterfront and is called something Quay. It was perfect for Victoria Square and when we left after about 2 hours it was £1.

Monday to friday the cheapest place to park i have found so far is beside the northside park & ride at the end of the m2.

It costs £2 a day to park in it and there are usually spaces after 9.30. As soon as u come off the m2 to go around to the westlink its on the immediate right before the road to the northside park & ride carpark.

Theres the car park at the odessey I think its 70p an hour you would need to double check. It is then a short walk across the bridge into town and easier than driving around belfast trying to get parked less stressful.

Some on-street parking is free at Christmas after 16:30 each day.

The streets involved are Bedford Street, Linenhall Street, Adelaide Street, Alfred Street, Ormeau Avenue, Franklin Street, Clarence Street and Linenhall Street West.

Hope this helps a little!

You can also see a list of surface car parks over at http://applications.roadsni.gov.uk/carparking/TownCarparks.aspx Just select Belfast from the drop-down box. The site also shows prices, if you click the link beside the car park name

Good luck with the onstreet parking. We took the kids to the Xmas market at CH during the week and spent over 20mins driving round looking for a space. Probably cost me more in petrol than would have spent sticking in one of the multi storeys. :mad:

Also, if you're in on a Saturday, you can park in St Annes cathedral car park all day for £3.
