  • Guests of hotels and rentals in the Old Town may drive in only to check in: they contact the “Call centre” named in the decision and show a booking or another document for their accommodation; check-in must be done within one hour, and then the car leaves the town.

  • In the old part you may park only in the designated car parks; the speed limit is 20 km/h.

The ordinance gives the open car park price as “€1.50 an hour” in the “stay of up to 5 hours” column, and the underground price as “€2.00” in the same column, without “an hour”; we quote both as printed.

This summarises the published documents; it is not legal advice. If in doubt, call the municipality (number above) — it applies the rules.
