WHERE TO PARK A CAR ?

For a perfect day at the sea, plan parking ahead. Morning tours can limit spots, so arrive early or choose an afternoon tour for easier parking.

Early Arrival Pays Off

One of the first things to know is that it’s best to arrive early, especially if you’re planning a morning tour. In the morning, it can be difficult to find a free parking space, as many tourists and locals are simultaneously looking for places to park. Therefore, to avoid stress and worry, we recommend that you set off early. This way, you will have enough time not only for parking but also to enjoy the morning atmosphere before boarding the boat.

If you arrive early, take the opportunity to grab a coffee at the nearby restaurant Gardin. This restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere and excellent beverages, making it an ideal place to relax before starting your adventure. Additionally, you can freshen up and take care of necessary hygiene needs, allowing you to feel more comfortable when you board the boat.

Recommended Parking Locations

1. Ivana Mažuranića Street: This street is located near the marina and often offers available parking spots. A significant advantage of this location is that parking is free here. If you arrive early enough, there’s a good chance you’ll find a free spot. While waiting to board, you can take a stroll along the waterfront or enjoy your morning coffee at the restaurant Gardin.

2. Gas Station on Branimirova Obala: If you can’t find a spot on Mažuranića Street, your next option is to park near the gas station. This location also offers free parking, which is great news for those looking to save money. There are also restaurants and shops nearby, so you can make use of your time while waiting to board the boat.

3. Kneza Branimira Street : You can also park here, but keep in mind that parking fees apply. However, the prices are very reasonable—around 5 euros for approximately 5 hours of parking, and maybe even less. This location is close to all essential amenities, making it convenient if you need to quickly grab something to take on the boat.

4. Frane Alfirevića Street: This street has become popular due to the filming of an American series that used its streets as a backdrop for a destroyed Mosul. Parking here can also be a good option, and you can enjoy interesting scenes and buildings. This street is often quieter and may provide a bit more space for parking.

Conclusion

Considering all these options, it’s easy to conclude that planning ahead can greatly simplify your day. While morning tours require a bit more commitment and early rising, the easier availability of parking spots in the afternoon can be an attractive alternative.

Don’t forget to enjoy your day at the sea! Happy parking, and may your boat adventure be unforgettable!
