Szentendre’s Paletta car park will be paid again from November 1

The temporary parking arrangements at the Paletta car park in Szentendre will end on November 1, 2026. The free P+R service from Monday to Friday will be discontinued, and the standard fee-based parking rules will be reinstated. The change will not affect all drivers in the same way: Szentendre residents with a registered vehicle may continue to use the car park, which is in Parking Zone II, free of charge on weekdays and weekends.

Temporary P+R parking arrangements come to an end

Temporary parking arrangements were introduced in the area in February 2024 during the construction of the Spar store. The car park, which had previously been paid on weekdays as well, continued to operate as a P+R car park. This interim measure helped make up for parking spaces lost around the store due to construction. These arrangements are now coming to an end, so free weekday P+R parking will also be discontinued.

From November 1, the standard fee-based parking rules will once again apply in the area. According to the source, parking will be subject to a fee every day of the week, in accordance with the regulations in force for the area. The exception is the separately specified free use available to Szentendre residents with a registered vehicle.

The change therefore does not mean that a new car park is opening, but rather that the temporary arrangements at the Paletta car park are ending. If you have been using the area for its free weekday P+R parking, you will no longer be able to count on this option from November 1. The applicable parking rules will once again need to be observed.

Who can continue to park for free?

The Paletta car park is in Parking Zone II. According to the source, Szentendre residents with a registered vehicle may continue to use the car park free of charge on weekdays and weekends. This means they will still be able to park for free even after the temporary P+R arrangements end.

The information about free parking specifically applies to Szentendre residents with a registered vehicle. The source does not specify any separate conditions for free parking for other drivers. If you plan to park there, it is worth checking the information posted on site, as parking is subject to the regulations in force for the area.

As this change concerns paid parking, you can also check the relevant zone code using the parking zone finder. The published information confirms that the Paletta car park is in Parking Zone II. The source does not provide a specific parking fee.

Drivers are also being informed on site

Staff from the Szentendre Law Enforcement Directorate have already begun informing residents and drivers on site. Information leaflets are being placed on the windshields of vehicles parked at the Paletta car park, and information posters have also been put up in the area. The leaflet distribution will continue daily over the coming period.

The on-site information is intended to help people prepare for the return of the usual parking rules. This may be particularly important for those who used the area as a free P+R car park from Monday to Friday during the temporary period. After the change, these interim arrangements will no longer govern weekday parking.

If you visit the Paletta car park in the coming period, you can also find information about the change on the posters and leaflets posted on site. The key point is that free weekday P+R parking will end from November 1, while the free parking available to the specified Szentendre residents will remain.

Once the temporary arrangements end, the standard fee-based parking rules will once again apply at the Paletta car park. Drivers should check the rules that apply to them before parking; the car park will remain free for Szentendre residents with a registered vehicle.
