Where it stands today
The city has approved reviews of its zones, Sunday charging and downtown paid hours, and plans to open its garages 24/7. As of 10 October 2026, no new prices or hours have been announced: the current tariffs still apply, and the sign on each street is what counts.

date TBAWhat it means if you're visiting now
- Prices and hours haven't changed yet. Use the current zone tariffs.
- Garages still close at midnight (open 7:00–24:00) until the 24/7 date is announced.
- Some P2 streets may become P3 — cheaper, and free in the evening and at weekends. Always read the sign: it's updated before the website is.
