Useful Information
We want everything to go smoothly during your stay. To help with that, here is some useful information to make sure you’re prepared for any situation or unexpected event!

Parking
It is possible to park along the main avenues and streets of the city – paid parking all year round.
If you prefer free parking, you can find it at the back of Hotel Real Marina, at the end of the avenue.
The Marina Ria Center has parking, paid from June to September.
There is also a parking lot near Grupo Naval de Olhão, with a daily fee (around €3.55) from June to September.
If you want covered parking, we recommend Parque do Levante, also nearby.
For parking payment, you can use coins or the apps Via Verde Estacionar or EasyParking.
ATTENTION!
The parking lot in front of Casa dos Mercados, right next to the market’s side entrance, is reserved for municipal market workers. If any car is parked in this area during market hours, it will be immediately towed.
You will see this parking lot open when the market is not operating (on Sundays and during part of the night, for example), and during these times you may use it without any problem. However, always pay attention to the time when you need to move your car!
