Types of car parks in Wrocław’s center
In Wrocław you can choose from several parking types — they differ in price, location and convenience:
- Municipal car parks (SPP / ŚSPP) — cover zones A, B and C in and around the center. These are the city-managed on-street spaces.
- Private car parks — independent facilities, often at shopping malls and office buildings. Usually pricier than municipal ones, but with daily rates or subscriptions.
- Underground car parks — comfortable and safe, open 24/7. Typical rates are 5–9 PLN per hour, daily max about 40–50 PLN. The most popular include Sky Tower, Wroclavia and Renoma.
- Multi-storey car parks — standalone structures by malls and offices. Prices similar to underground options, good for longer stays.
Paid parking zones in Wrocław
The city is divided into three zones with different rates and rules:
- Zone A — the very center (Market Square and adjacent streets). Highest rates: from 7 PLN for the first hour (progressive rate). Applies daily 9:00–20:00.
- Zone B — area surrounding the center. Prices from 5 PLN per hour. Applies daily 9:00–20:00.
- Zone C — further from the center, the cheapest zone. Rates from 3 PLN per hour. Charges only on weekdays 9:00–18:00.
Note: No valid ticket in paid zones may result in a surcharge and, in some cases, towing.
Where to park near the Market Square (Rynek)?
In the very center (Zone A) parking is expensive and best for short stops. For longer visits, it’s usually better to pick nearby underground car parks or Park & Ride. We’ve gathered up-to-date prices, limits and the most convenient spots in a separate guide: Parking by the Market Square — full guide: prices, free options, maps
Parking at the Main Railway (PKP) and Bus (PKS) stations
By the stations you’ll find mall car parks with daily rates and municipal on-street spaces. If you plan several hours or more, consider a multi-storey/underground car park with a daily cap — it’s usually cheaper and more convenient. A full roundup (prices, limits, maps, short walks) is here: Parking by the PKP/PKS stations — current prices and best options
Where to park at Wrocław Airport (WRO)?
Choose between official P1/P2 (closest to the terminal) and P3 (long-term), plus cheaper private car parks with 24/7 shuttle. Prices depend strongly on length of stay and online booking. Compare rates, distances and get practical booking tips here: Parking at Wrocław Airport — official vs. private: which to choose?
Parking for Wrocław Zoo & Afrykarium
The Zoo and Afrykarium are among Wrocław’s most visited attractions — especially on weekends and during holidays, spaces can be scarce. Right by the entrance you’ll find municipal and private car parks (ul. Wróblewskiego, Mickiewicza), but they fill up quickly at peak times. It’s worth knowing alternatives nearby and free weekend options. A full guide with prices, map and tips is here: Parking for the Zoo & Afrykarium — full guide: spots, prices, free options
