Other parking options in Vigo 

In addition to the car parks available throughout the city, you can also park your vehicle on the street in Vigo. However, finding a free space is not always easy, especially in central areas, around the port, in commercial districts or on the busiest streets, where parking demand tends to be high for much of the day. 

To avoid wasting time looking for a space, it is advisable to understand how regulated parking works and plan where to leave your car in advance. This way, you can move around Vigo more comfortably, optimise your journeys and enjoy the city without unnecessary worries. 

Regulated parking in Vigo 

On-street parking in Vigo is managed through a regulated parking system designed to encourage vehicle turnover and improve mobility in areas with high levels of commercial, administrative and service activity. This system helps facilitate access to the city's busiest areas and optimise the use of available parking spaces. 

The main types of regulated parking in Vigo are: 

• Blue zone in Vigo (turnover): intended for short stays, it is designed to make parking spaces more readily available in areas with high levels of commercial, administrative and service activity. 
• Resident parking spaces: certain areas have specific conditions for authorised residents, making it easier to park close to their homes. 
• Loading and unloading zones: spaces reserved for deliveries and commercial activities during the times established by local regulations. 

How to pay for the blue zone in Vigo? 

You can pay for the parking meter in Vigo through the Telpark app. From your mobile and with just a few clicks, you can manage your parking session in the city's regulated parking zones. Simply start your parking session, enter the required information and select how long you want to park, with the option to extend or adjust the duration according to your needs and within the permitted limits. 

What's more, so you don't have to keep an eye on the time, you will receive an alert before your parking time expires. In certain situations, you can also carry out other parking-related procedures directly through the app. 

Tips for driving around Vigo 

Getting around Vigo by car may require some planning, especially in the most central areas and locations with high levels of commercial, administrative and tourist activity. The combination of steep streets, pedestrian areas, regulated parking zones and a high volume of vehicles at certain times of day can make finding a parking space more difficult than expected. 

For this reason, if you are travelling around the city, it is advisable to decide in advance where to leave your vehicle and consider parking options that allow you to get around more comfortably. This way, you can avoid unnecessary driving, save time and enjoy Vigo with greater peace of mind, whether you are visiting the city centre, the port area or the main shopping districts.

• Porta do Sol area: one of the city's most iconic and busiest areas, where vehicle traffic is restricted or regulated in certain areas due to the high number of pedestrians. 
• City centre shopping area: streets around Príncipe, Colón, Urzáiz and other shopping areas tend to have high levels of daily activity and heavy traffic at certain times. 
• Port area and maritime station: this area has significant passenger, transport and service activity, which can result in a higher volume of vehicles for much of the day. 
• Access to beaches and leisure areas: areas such as Samil and other coastal locations tend to experience higher parking demand and heavier traffic during summer, public holidays and weekends.
