That's probably an exception. Most cities I know in Europe have crazy expensive parking and usually forbid cars from entering the city center. I would say EU cities are really hostile to cars

You should distinguish between residents and visitors. In Belgium, and I believe in many other European cities, street parking for residents is extremely cheap or free.
In Italy parking is free for residents. And street parking in the city centre is usually cheap (2 or 3 euros per hour).
Car culture in Italy is still too strong; but luckily many municipalities are working to decrease parking spots and build more cycle lanes.
