 | Marburg an der Lahn Warnings or Dangers | Tips 1 - 2 of 2 |  |
Of course residents can park in the old town, but if you visit Marburg you should park outside. Many of the rare parking spots in the old town are marked “for residents only” (= Anwohnerparken in German) and it would be rather tricky anyhow to place a car for people who are not used to this switching back and forth. To find empty space on one of the rare public parking like at the castle (photo 4) is pure luck! Don’t waste time and energy and most probably hassle afterwards with tickets and use one of the public parking garages. There is a big one in Pilgrimstein (street), the one I mentioned with elevator to the old town. It has five floors and there is always some space. Because Pilgrimstein is a one-way street (north-south direction), drive to Elisabethkirche and then into Pilgrimstein.
There are other parking garages or bigger parking lots, but this is the best for a day visit. In case you have booked a hotel, ask the hotel staff where you can park the car when you make a reservation. In case the hotel has a website, they will mention parking possibilities. Leave a Comment

Marburg, locals say, has more stairs in the streets than in the houses - this is actually an observation made by Jacob Grimm when he started studying ant Marburg university in 1802. Many walkways up the steep hillside consist of stairs. Some streets are accessible by car but many are not. Cobblestones are frequent and other types of pavement can be uneven, too.
Wear comfortable shoes, and watch your steps. High heels are a no-no in Marburg.
Marburg is not a good destination for people with walking difficulties. Taking the lift from Pilgrimstein and then walking along the two shopping streets, Wettergasse and Barfüßerstraße via market square, can be done because these two streets stay more or less on the same level. Anything further up, however, will be hard for people who do not walk well.
All ways to the Schloss from Oberstadt are either long stairways or steep cobblestone ramps, or a mix of both. Take the bus 16 from Rudolphsplatz/Marktplatz/Barfüßerstraße if you are unable or unwilling to climb the hill.
