Could anyone tell me how easy it is to drive into and park in Split in summer season?
Driving and parking in Split during the summer season can be challenging due to the influx of tourists and the limited parking options in the city center. The streets in and around the old town are narrow and often crowded, which can make driving in the area quite stressful, especially for those not accustomed to the local traffic conditions.
However, there are viable options for parking on the outskirts and walking into the city center, which might be a more relaxing approach for you.
One good option is the parking facility managed by Split City Parking located at Spinčićeva ul. 2B. This parking area offers a practical solution for avoiding the busy city center traffic. From there, you can enjoy a stroll into the heart of Split, experiencing the city’s ambiance without the hassle of navigating through narrow streets by car.
You can check the availability of parking spaces, fees, and any other services they might offer by visiting their website: Split City Parking. Planning ahead and knowing your parking options can make your visits to Split more enjoyable and stress-free, allowing you to fully enjoy your meals and exploration of the city.

Parking in Split near ferry port. We are going to Hvar for a couple of days and wonder if there is parking in Split near the ferries or is it better to take our car. How much is parking versus how much is it to take a car on the ferry?

Taking the Car on the Ferry
• Ferry Cost: Taking a car on the ferry to Hvar can be more costly. The price depends on the size of the car and the season, but generally, it’s about €30-€50 one way.
• Considerations: The roads on Hvar are narrow, and depending on where you are staying, you may not need a car as much. Parking on Hvar can also be limited, especially in smaller towns and near popular beaches.
Recommendations
