Car parks with additional restrictions

A free period does not mean unlimited parking or unrestricted access. Check the terms and how the parking time is calculated.

Galeria Młociny

60 minutes free

15 Zgrupowania AK “Kampinos” Street, Warsaw

The current parking regulations provide the first 60 minutes free, except in the VIP car park. Once that limit is exceeded, the next started hour is charged. Parking is generally limited to 48 hours. Check the current tariff on site.

Car park at 4 Pociskowa Street

2 hours free

Watch out for Warsaw’s paid parking zone

On streets inside the SPPN paid parking zone, charges apply according to the signs and the city tariff. The zone changes over time: from 7 September 2026 it also covers new areas in Odolany and parts of Praga-Południe. Do not assume a space is free just because it is outside the city centre.

Check the signs on site

Road signs, parking notices and the rules for a specific car park take priority over an article or an app description. Check the hours, maximum stay, ticket validation and payment method.

Have a backup option

Spaces in central areas fill quickly. Save a few alternatives in advance and check access, height limits and entry restrictions.
