LJUBLJANA FREE PARKING

On Weekends parking is NOT free of charge

Parking Ljubljana weekend

Until recently, parking in Ljubljana was free on weekends and public holidays. Today, parking is paid every day of the week.

The city introduced this change to reduce traffic in the historic centre and encourage visitors to use the convenient Park & Ride system on the outskirts. You can park there for a very reasonable daily fee and continue into the centre by bus — simple and stress-free.

The good news is that paid parking has improved turnover in the city centre. Cars don’t stay parked all day anymore, which means there is often a better chance of finding a space compared to the past.

Weekends can actually be quite manageable. Many locals leave the city for nature trips, and daily commuters are not in town, so traffic is generally lighter.

A few helpful tips:

• Arrive earlier in the day if possible.
• Use official parking garages for the most reliable option.
• Download the EasyPark app to pay for parking easily.
• Consider Park & Ride if you are staying longer than a few hours.

P + R (Park and Ride) Option

Cheap parking Ljubljana

There are six P+R points on the edges of the city to leave your car.

Parking price for the whole day is only 1.50 € and a bus ticket to the city center and back is included in the price. Busses pick up and drop off passengers at the P+R location.

But keep in mind that you can pay for the city bus and parking with »Urbana card« only! You can buy it for 2 € on so called Urbanomats. You will find them at every P+R station.
