Parking in Ljubljana

As any European capital Ljubljana is not an exeption, concearning parking spaces either. Finding a non-payable parking space during the work days in the city center until late afternoon can certainly be a mission.

To find a place for your car that would suit you most, find the list and all the details about prices, opening hours and number of spaces are on the municipal parking web site. You will find them rated and priced according to their location which you can find on the map attached to the data. Note that they are bigger and administratively seperated to the street ones thus you are more likely to find an empty slot there. For the reason they have their own policy and prices.

Ljubljana parking system and rules

Parkomats
At street parking places you can find parkomats. When inserting money and choosing your time of using the lot, you receive a reciept, which you put on a visible place in your car. Have an exact amount prepared, since no change is given back. Paying is neccessary every working day until 6pm, Saturdays till 1pm, Sundays and holidays parking is free. Not doing that, you may face paying a parking ticket, which will be more expensive (approx. 20€).

What if your car is removed or wheels locked?
If you park your car on the surface not intended for parking you may face having your wheel locked or your car removed by removal trucks.

You can get your wheels unlocked paying a ticket at the Javno podjetje Parkirišča d.o.o. company, at Mačkova 1, 1000 Ljubljana (tel: +386 1 23 00 160). Open form 6 am to 10 pm. During the night on Sat, Sun and holidays you can find a duty counter at Krekov trg from 22 pm to 6 am.

If you do not park your car correctly and cannot find it later when returning, do not panic, probably the city parking service has taken it away. You’ll find it at Automobile fairgrounds at Cesta dveh cesarjev. Since a bit distant a city bus No. 1 is recommended. At that location there is also the counter where you can pay the fine. (tel: +386 1 257-37-73, +386 1 257-30-90, +386 51 35 88 32).

Management centre, which works 24 hrs and can help you at any time, you can find if you ring:
Tel: +386 1 257 47 80, GSM: +386 31 772 926

Not to spoil your vacation in this beautiful city and paying extra fines, we recommend respecting the rules of parking. Since Ljubljana is still one of the safest capitals in Europe, a chance of finding your car broken in or stolen is very small. But it is still recommended not to leave valuable things on a visible place in your car anyway.
