Szentendre’s Paletta parking lot will become paid again from November 1

The temporary parking arrangements at Szentendre’s Paletta parking lot will end on November 1, 2026. Free weekday P+R parking will be discontinued, and the full parking fee schedule will be reinstated. The change will not affect all drivers in the same way: Szentendre residents who own a registered vehicle can continue to use the parking lot, which is in Parking Zone II, free of charge on weekdays and weekends.

The temporary P+R parking arrangements are ending

Temporary parking arrangements were introduced in the area in February 2024 during construction of the Spar store. The parking lot, which had previously charged fees on weekdays as well, then continued to operate as a P+R parking lot. This temporary solution helped make up for the parking spaces lost due to construction near the store. These parking arrangements are now ending, so free weekday P+R parking will also be discontinued.

From November 1, the full parking fee schedule will once again apply in the area. According to the source, parking will be paid every day of the week, in accordance with the regulations in force for the area. The separately outlined free parking available to Szentendre residents who own a registered vehicle is an exception.

The change does not mean that a new parking lot is opening; rather, it marks the end of the temporary arrangements at the Paletta parking lot. If you have been using the area because of the free weekday P+R option, you will no longer be able to rely on it from November 1. The parking lot’s usual rules will once again apply.

Who can continue to park for free?

The Paletta parking lot is in Parking Zone II. According to the source, Szentendre residents who own a registered vehicle can continue to use the parking lot free of charge on weekdays and weekends. This means that even after the temporary P+R arrangements end, they will still be able to park without paying.

The information about free parking specifically applies to Szentendre residents who own 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 the change involves paid parking, you can also check the relevant zone code in the parking zone finder. The published information confirms that the Paletta parking lot is in Parking Zone II. In Zone II (zone code 2012), the fee for passenger cars is HUF 600 per hour, and payment is required every day of the week between 09:00 and 20:00.

Drivers are also being informed on site

Staff from the Szentendre Public Safety Directorate have already begun informing residents and drivers on site. Information leaflets are being placed on the windshields of vehicles parked at the Paletta parking lot, and information posters have also been put up in the area. The leaflet campaign 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 especially important for those who used the area as a free P+R parking lot from Monday to Friday during the temporary period. After the change, these temporary arrangements will no longer govern weekday parking.

If you visit the Paletta parking lot in the coming period, you can also find information about the change on the posters and leaflets displayed there. The key point is that free weekday P+R parking will end on November 1, while the free parking option for the Szentendre residents specified in the source will remain in place.

Once the temporary arrangements at the Paletta parking lot end, the full parking fee schedule will once again apply. Drivers should check the rules that apply to them before parking; the parking lot will remain free for Szentendre residents who own a registered vehicle.
