Street Parking in Europe

Street parking is not always easy to understand. Parking zones, signs, coloured curbs and payment methods can differ from one city to another.

Do not assume parking is free when there is no meter nearby. In some cities, payment is arranged through an app, permit system or ticket machine.

Parking Garages and Park and Ride

In many European city centres, on-street parking is limited or simply not practical. A public car park or a park and ride location is often the better choice.

Park and ride can be a smart way to save money, especially in busy tourist cities where central parking is expensive.
