Parking In Ibiza

Chances are that you rented a car while in ibiza, well good luck with the parking. don´t even try it in the center, the old socialist local govermnet in Ibiza started doing bike lanes a took 100´s of parkings away.

So if you want to make it easy just go to Es Pratet, huge parking right by the port, really close to the old Town Dalt vila but expensive (not like amsterdam expensive ), 4,5€ per hour on peak time and season. winter is cheaper.

if you want to park free , park by IKEA or the police station, 20 minute walk or so but it´s free.
