Where you can use your UK Blue Badge in Europe
You can use your UK Blue Badge when travelling in some EU countries, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
This guidance provides a list of countries with links to pages that contain:
- information about parking for disabled people in the country
- disabled parking notices that you can print off and display with your Blue Badge
You do not have to do display a local parking notice, but it may help.
You should note that:
- local parking rules may apply in different parts of a country
- some countries may have changed their rules since the pages we link to were published
For up-to-date information always check the local parking rules of the place you want to use your Blue Badge before parking.
Further guidance
Parking concessions vary in each country. Further information is available from:
