Parking in Kołobrzeg - where to leave your car near the center, beach, and Salt Island

Kołobrzeg welcomes several hundred thousand tourists in summer, the vast majority arriving by car. Parking in the center, especially in July and August, can easily spoil the first day of a holiday. Below is a practical overview of the options—from parking at your accommodation, through paid zones, to free alternatives on the outskirts—so you know exactly where to go on arrival.

Parking at Apartamenty Nad Parsętą—the most convenient option for guests

Guests at Apartamenty Nad Parsętą have two parking options directly at the property, at both 7 Szpitalna Street and 10 Młyńska Street.

The first is free, unguarded parking next to the property for guests, subject to availability. Simply arrive and park, with no extra charges. In summer, spaces may be occupied, so it is worth informing reception about this option in advance when planning your trip.

The second is underground guarded parking for PLN 40 per day. The space is reserved for guests and monitored, providing complete peace of mind throughout your stay.

This is by far the most convenient solution: your car stays in one place throughout your stay, with no need to move it, pay the parking meter daily or worry about availability.

Paid parking zone in Kołobrzeg—how does it work?

Kołobrzeg city center is covered by a paid parking zone divided into zones A, B and C, plus separate car parks managed by Komunikacja Miejska. During the season (May–September), charges apply from 9:00 to 21:00 Monday to Friday; outside the season (October–April), from 9:00 to 18:00.

You can pay at a parking meter or, more conveniently, via a mobile app. Available apps include Pango (select Kołobrzeg and a zone—Śródmieście, Port, Millennium or Marina Solna) and mPay. With an app, there is no need to return to the car with a ticket, and parking time can be extended remotely.

Current rates for individual zones may change seasonally, so check the latest price list at km.kolobrzeg.pl before arrival.

Main car parks in the center and by the beach

Kołobrzeg offers several popular car parks, depending on the purpose of your visit.

Marina Solna Car Park (Warzelnicza Street) is one of the largest car parks in the center, located by the Yacht Port, a few minutes’ walk from Solna Island and Apartamenty Nad Parsętą. Open 24 hours a day, year-round; the 24-hour fee is PLN 40–60, depending on the season. It is a good option for visitors who are not staying at the property and want to park near the center.

Car park by the pier and central beach (Mickiewicza Street) is the most convenient choice for those heading straight to the beach. It can be very crowded in season—arrive before 9:00 or after 17:00.

Port Car Park (Towarowa Street) is near the fishing port and pier—a good starting point for a walk toward the port and lighthouse.

Car park by the PKP railway station (Dworcowa Street) is a convenient option for arriving by train or looking for parking with good access to the center.

Free parking in Kołobrzeg

Free parking spaces are available in Kołobrzeg, but they are mainly outside the immediate center, including on Trzebiatowska and Wylotowa Streets, near the municipal stadium and along Aleja Kolejowa. Near the port and lighthouse, free spaces are limited, and in summer they are often occupied.

Remember that parking in all city zones is free on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Some car parks, such as those at supermarkets, also offer short-term free parking, usually for up to 2 hours.
