To help you plan your visit to the Nürburgring over the Easter holidays, we’ve put together all the important information about Easter 2026 for you here.

🅿️ PARKING

GOOD FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 2026 & SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 2026

➡️ On Good Friday and Saturday, parking in the parking areas at the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix circuit is subject to a fee. The parking fee is €10 per vehicle.

Overview of the open parking areas:

Grand Prix Circuit parking areas:

  • All A, B & C zones
  • Paddock  
    • Parking fees: Subject to a fee on April 3 & 4
    • Participants in the Grand Prix Circuit public driving sessions will be refunded the fee upon entry to the sessions, upon presentation of the receipt
    • Important: Refunds are available only on April 3 & 4 and apply exclusively to the parking fee paid for the paddock (not for other parking areas)

Parking areas Nordschleife:

  • Brünnchen
  • P96
  • Pflanzgarten (P97+P98)
  • Schwalbenschwanz
  • P100
  • Adenauer Forest (will be open on Good Friday if all parking areas in Adenau are at capacity)

NOTE: GOOD FRIDAY

  • Traffic violations will be strictly enforced 
    • Overall, heavy traffic is expected on the main access roads to the Nürburgring, in the town of Adenau, and in the surrounding communities. The police will be focusing on potential traffic violations—with particular attention paid to traffic safety, vehicle compliance with regulations, and driver behavior. The clear message from law enforcement: Anyone who behaves inappropriately must expect consequences. These may include all-day expulsion from the premises, vehicle impoundment, or, in individual cases, the confiscation of a driver’s license. Illegal parking outside designated areas will ultimately result in the vehicle being towed at the owner’s expense.
