You’ve arrived in Dubrovnik and can’t wait to visit the main street, Stradun? Well, normally, you can’t wait to see this balmy city after all but… The first thing you’ll notice is the lack of parking spaces. So I’ve decided to write a blog to make parking in Dubrovnik easier for you, save you time and money.

FIVE PARKING ZONES

Parking in Dubrovnik is divided into five zones –

– Zone 0 is an area in the immediate vicinity of the old town, i.e. at the Place de Pile itself. It is possible to pay for parking in this zone, but at the most expensive price in Dubrovnik: 5 EUR per hour or 53,10 EUR for several hours or for the whole day.

The price of parking in this zone is EUR 1,30 per hour or for several hours EUR 17,25 in the period from May to October, and all other months is EUR 0,70 per hour.

– 2nd zone – parking lots next to the northern entrance to the old town, called Zičara (next to the cable car station) and Tabor. Parking in these parking lots is only available to tenants.

– 3 zone – the most comprehensive zone in Dubrovnik, as it covers all other parts of the city. The price of parking in this zone is EUR 1,30 per hour or for several hours EUR 17,25 in the period from May to October and all other months is EUR 0,70 per hour.

HOW TO PAY FOR PARKING IN DUBROVNIK?

Paying for parking using the parking meter

After parking, locate the nearest parking machine.

When you reach the machine, check the zone you’ve parked in and the hourly rate for that zone. Insert enough money to cover the hours you need, as the machine will give you change in coins, so do not insert much more than you need. Press the green button to confirm your payment.

Place the ticket in a conspicuous place on the dashboard of your vehicle (under the windscreen) so that it’s easily accessible to the parking attendant.

Pay for parking at the nearest Tisak kiosk

Once parked, walk to the nearest tisak stand.

Ask for a ticket and carefully dictate the licence plate number, the zone you want to park in and the number of hours you want to buy. Please confirm that the information is correct before the invoice is issued.

Pay for your ticket and keep the receipt as proof of paid parking.

Remarks:

It is not necessary to display the purchased ticket under the windscreen of the vehicle.

You can extend your ticket at any Tisak kiosk up to the maximum parking time allowed in the zone you are using.

Paying for parking by SMS is only possible via Croatian teleoperators.
