Parking on roads

Do not park on a road where parking is prohibited, unless it is an absolute necessity, for only a short time, and without causing an obstruction or danger – we advise that you do so in an emergency only.

Do not drive or park in a pedestrian zone.

You must pay to park where payment is required, and must not exceed the paid-for time.

You must not exceed the time limit on a road where parking is free but restricted by time.

Parking in car parks

There are no concessions for a Parking Card holder in public car parks.

Visitor to Portugal from another EU/EEA member state ONLY– print and display this notice next to your Parking Card
