Navigating the city by car requires some awareness of local parking. On-street parking in the central areas of Lleida is typically paid and regulated, often marked by blue lines on the pavement, known as "zona blava." These zones have specific time limits and are paid for via parking meters or a mobile app. For longer stays or to avoid the hassle of finding a street spot, there are numerous underground public car parks available, particularly around key areas like the city center, the train station, and major plazas. These car parks offer a more convenient and secure option for visitors.
How to Find Parking in the City
Lleida has regulated street parking, known as "Zona Blava" (Blue Zone), which is marked by blue lines. The purpose of this system is to ensure turnover and availability of spaces, especially in the city center.
Payment: You can pay for your parking time at the designated parking meters (parkímetros) or by using a mobile app.
Time Limits & Rates: The maximum parking time varies depending on the specific zone. "High rotation" zones may have a shorter maximum stay (e.g., 40 to 100 minutes), while "low rotation" zones allow for longer parking (e.g., up to 240 minutes).
Schedule: The regulated hours are generally Monday to Saturday, with specific hours for mornings and afternoons. Parking is typically free on Sundays and public holidays. It's important to check the specific signage on the street and the parking meter for the exact schedule and rates for that area.

Always double-check street signs and parking meter instructions to confirm the rules and hours for that specific spot.
Fines:
Overstaying your paid time in a blue zone can result in a fine. In some cases, you can "cancel" the fine by paying a penalty fee at a parking meter within a limited time frame.
Private Garages:
There are also many private garages available for rent or purchase, often found on websites like Idealista. These are typically for long-term use and not the best option for a short visit.
