May 23, 2024

Traveling around Montenegro by car is a great way to see all the beauty of this country. But a logical question arises: where can you park your car here? Let's figure it out.

Types of parking

Parking in Montenegro can be paid or free, and they can be easily distinguished by the corresponding signs and markings. The closer you are to popular tourist spots and the city center, the more difficult it is to find free free spaces, and paid parking becomes more expensive. However, in almost all cities you can find free parking just a few minutes' walk from the main attractions.

Parking zones

In some cities, parking zones are distinguished by color:

  • Red zone: The most expensive parking.
  • Yellow zone: Prices are more reasonable.
  • Green Zone: The most affordable parking.

Free parking

Location:

  • On the sides of the roads
  • In special pockets
  • On unequipped sites

Free parking is usually located away from the historical center.

Paid parking

There are two types of paid parking: along the streets and parking with a barrier.

  1. Parking along the streets:
    • Location: Downtown.
    • Marking: The road surface is marked, and cars are only allowed to park along the markings.
    • Free places: Finding free space is more difficult.
    • Time limit: You can park for a maximum of 2 hours.
    • Price: 0.50-2 €/hour.
    • Payment: Via parking meter or SMS.
  2. Parking lots with a barrier:
    • Free places: There are more free spaces in such parking lots.
    • Parking time: Unlimited.
    • Price: Tariffs are higher by 30-50%.

Conclusion

Parking in Montenegro can be either paid or free. Free parking is most often located on the outskirts and requires a short walk to the main attractions. Paid parking can be street parking with a time limit and parking with a barrier without a time limit, but with higher tariffs. Knowing these features, you can easily find a suitable place for your car while enjoying your trip around Montenegro.
