When it comes to paying for parking here, you have three options: from a kiosk (Tisak), from the parking meter or via text message. This carpark falls under Zone 2 (zona 2) and isn't expensive. That being said, luck might be on your side and if you'd like to try that luck, you'll need to follow the long, one way road (Zagrebacka) past the public garage until you reach the fire brigade building, then turn right downhill until you see a small taxi rank, there is then a sharp turn to your left to enter the carpark, try not to miss it, if you do you'll need to go around again.
#Villa maestral dubrovnik full
Literally translating to ''the street behind the city'', this carpark is located directly behind the city walls and is a favourite among locals and visitors alike, so I will warn you in advance not to get your hopes up about managing to find a space here, it is almost constantly full during peak season and is still problematic even after the summer ends. Prices of course depend on length of stay and type of vehicle. It is fairly central, with views over the sea and the Old City, you can reach Pile gate on foot from there in about ten minutes, five if you continue walking to the right when you leave the garage on foot and go through the scenic Bogisic park. Perhaps the easiest place to leave your car in Dubrovnik is at the public garage located on Ilijina Glavica along a main one way road (Zagrebacka), the garage is modern, large and boasts 711 parking spaces, so you shouldn't encounter problems when it comes to finding somewhere to leave your car. Owing to this uncharming problem and thanks to experience and a lot of swearing, I have put together a list of what you cannot call ''the best'' parking solutions, but a list of your only (legal) options which won't leave you with a parking fine. Old, narrow and often steep streets were not built to accommodate vehicles and due to the geography and infrastructure of the city, it cannot accommodate all of them even today.

The fact of the matter is, Dubrovnik is an ancient city that was never designed to deal with the huge amount of traffic it receives today. Parking in Dubrovnik is a formidable thought for anyone who has had the pleasure (?!) of doing so before.
