Castle parking, tariff errors
3 Sierakowskich, 82-200, Malbork
Been here?
This large parking area is 50m from Malbork Castle and allows 24-hour parking, including overnight stays. The correct 24-hour tariff is 85 zl, but the machine can incorrectly charge 355zl or 340zl unless staff reset it. A shorter tariff of 40 zl/3 h has also been reported. Nights can be quiet, although nearby construction may create weekday noise.

The car park is right by the entrance to the castle. We stayed there for 24 hours, including overnight. A quiet place to sleep. Be careful when paying: ask an employee, because the machine is incorrectly set and instead of charging 85 PLN for 24 hours, it charges 355 PLN. After an employee resets it using the cancel button, the correct amount appears. Be careful: cash only.
Parking near the castle, price 40 zl for 3 hours. Large and spacious.
Tip for parking for 24 hours for 85 PLN! Unfortunately, the entry ticket does not automatically select this low rate. Pay the correct amount and avoid overpaying: ask the attendant for help before leaving, or press ‘ticket lost’—the left button—on the machine. It will then charge 85 PLN. The system is very unclear and seems like fraud, but that is how it works!
Very close to the castle and central. We paid 85 PLN for an overnight stay. Since the tariffs are somewhat complicated, you should ask the attendants for precise information beforehand; they are happy to help. We were the only ones in the car park, from Sunday to Monday.
Beware: at the entrance there is an attendant with a green flag who waves passing vehicles in, creating the impression that cars have to be parked from that point onward. Then you end up paying hundreds of zloty for 24 hours!!! Just drive on, please.
we spent 24 hours here. we were the only van! we had a quiet night. (friday) might be noisier weekdays as there is construction work nearby. when we left shocked to find cost was not 85zl as stated on p4n. we were charged 340zl !!
We slept well and visited the castle. The car park costs 85 zloty for 24 hours for a camper. You must NOT use the ticket you receive when driving into the car park. To pay the correct price, go to the machine in the parking garage opposite, press the left button, pay, and receive an exit ticket.
Beware of rip-off prices. The first 10 minutes are free, then get out as quickly as possible. Across the bridge it is cheaper and more official.
The tariffs are unclear and there is no sign with the prices at the entrance. I arrived at 8:34pm and, after dinner, left at 9:43pm because it seemed strange that there were no campers, and I paid €10! For just over an hour!!
You can park here well and it is close to Marienburg, yes. But parking is absolutely overpriced: €10 for 2.5 hours.
40 PLN for 3 hours, no services.
40 PLN for 2 hours? Much too expensive. We drove on.
WARNING!!! Transparency is not part of the deal!!! We paid 340 zloty for 24 hours! 85 zloty is for 6 hours… Please correct the prices in the listing!!! Today, 12 May 2025, I see the prices have been corrected!!! Perfect, thank you Park4Night!!!
Beware of a rip-off!!! They demanded 85 zloty for 2.5 hours, although the price sign says 40 zloty. They would not let us leave the car park, and the police could not be reached. Look at the reviews on Google. Then surely nobody will drive into this car park anymore.
