Other Car Parks Around Guild Street and College Street

Torquay also has a separately named Union Square car park with 397 spaces, but that facility is in Torquay rather than Aberdeen (torbay.gov.uk). It should not be used as a parking reference for the Guild Street centre.

Busy Shopping Times and Parking Rules at the Centre
Weekend shopping, sales and events can increase demand around the city-centre car parks, so arriving before the busiest part of the day is practical when a close space matters.

The published tariff includes a 0 to 1 hour band, a 1 to 2 hour band and a 2 to 3 hour band, followed by the stated longer-stay and evening charges (unionsquareaberdeen.com). The evening period runs from 6pm to 4am, and the local report gives the College Street evening rate as £2.50 for that period (pressandjournal.co.uk).

Walking From Aberdeen Railway Station to Union Square
