Free parking in Lisbon is becoming increasingly difficult
But we've discovered some places where you can still leave your car without paying a penny before going to work
Lisbon is a city known for its heavy traffic
but we can’t even say that there are so few places to park… for a fee
because there are fewer and fewer free ones
the city does offer some free parking options
both in specific areas and in dedicated parks
At Lisboa Secreta we know that the places where you usually park are either always full or are about to become yet another paid parking lot
when we can’t park for free in Lisbon
we’ve discovered some secret spots where you can still park for free before going to work
But if you live in areas closer to Lisbon and don’t need four wheels to get to work
because you even have to take the kids to nursery or school
you can also use these tips to park for free in the city
From what we’ve consulted on the planning maps of the company that manages parking in Lisbon
some of these places can become outdated from one day to the next
To give you a better idea of the free parking spots we’ve found in Lisbon
we’ ve divided the city into five zones:
namely their proximity to Lisbon’s most used public transport: metro
some of these areas may require you to walk for a few minutes to find a metro station or bus stop
But this can also be solved by opting for one of the mobility solutions scattered throughout the city, from scooters, bicycles or car and motorcycle sharing services
the main parking lot manager in Lisbon already occupies a large part of the central area of the city
leaving a few free parking spaces for areas further away from the center
But let’s leave these discussions for other pages and get down to business
Let’s start with the easternmost part of Lisbon and one of the city’s newest areas
Although it ‘s very difficult to find free parking in the center of Parque das Nações
there are some very interesting alternatives very close to public transport
in this case the Sacavém train station and bus stops
Near Sacavém train station there are a few parking lots where you can leave your car and then take the train or bus to the city center
Here you can leave your car near the Parque do Rio urbanization
The park is at the end of Via do Oriente and Passeio dos Heróis do Mar
📍Coordinates
On your way to Parque das Nações from the south to the north
if you go along the waterfront you’ll come across the Santa Apolóniatrain station and
finding a parking space can be a challenge
If you’re not one of the first to arrive
So our suggestion is that you arrive at one of these places between 07h45 and 08h15
you’ll probably be scrambling around until you find a seat
📍Coordinates
Rua Luís de Camões is one of the few streets where you can still see cars parked on the sidewalk
In the parallel streets you’ll be able to find free parking without too much trouble
If you can’t find a space as soon as you arrive in this well-known neighborhood
we guarantee that you’ll have a parking space within 5-10 minutes
But for that you’ll have to be in the area between 8.45 and 9.15am
when the locals also drive to work in their cars and leave the spaces vacant
📍Coordinates
you’re sure to find your parking space in the sun
The area is very well served by public transport
with trains and buses to almost every part of Lisbon
you may have to park a little away from these stops
otherwise take the opportunity to rent a scooter or bicycle along the way
📍Coordinates
The Benfica area is the furthest away from the city center
But that doesn’t mean you can’t find your free parking space in Lisbon
there’s plenty of public transport you can take from here
You’ll find free parking in all areas of Benfica
but with the train station right next door
it’s very difficult to get a parking space
📍Coordinates
But the truth is that public transport is still not the ideal solution for those who want to get from place A to place B as comfortably and quickly as possible
Lisbon can be a more pleasant place for people to move around
We always believe that the solution will be better without cars
but we also know that until these conditions are met
finding free parking in Lisbon will always be a problem for those who want to move around the city
