PARKING
There are different parking zones in the cities. In the short-term parking zones, parking fees must be paid. Chargeable parking zones are marked with blue floor markings. In Klagenfurt there are also green-marked areas where you can park all day and somewhat cheaper.
In free parking zones (mostly outside the city centre) you have to mark your exact arrival time with a parking meter/ parking disc (available in car shops, ÖAMTC, car dealers, tobacco shops) or with a handwritten note.
Parking in Villach
In marked areas, which are a 4-minute walk from the main square, you have to pay for parking. You can pay at a parking machine or by mobile phone (for fees see here). You can park there for a maximum of 3 hours. Parking for less than 20 minutes is free, but must be indicated by a parking meter.
In short-term parking zones, parking fees must be paid during the following hours:
Monday to Thursday from 8:00 to 18:00 and Fridays from 8:00 to 12:00.
On Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings parking is free of charge, but the maximum parking time is always 3 hours, which must be proven with a parking meter!
In other free parking zones, the maximum parking time is either one and a half hours or three hours. Here again a parking meter is required! Free parking is allowed from Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 18:00 and on Saturdays from 8:00 to 13:00 or 10:00 to 13:00.
