Puigcerdà — the Cerdanya's hilltop hub on the French border — meters its compact centre: zona azul runs Mon–Fri 9:00–14:00 & 16:00–20:00 and Saturday mornings, with Saturday afternoons and Sundays free. A new app handles payment, the Saba garage by the Ayuntamiento covers market days, and the lake stays strollable from anywhere you park. The 2026 guide.

Yes — the Saba car park by the Ayuntamiento, the all-weather option on the hilltop.
Meters or the town's parking app — the app spares you a frozen-fingers top-up in January.
Early at the centre bays, or the lower town and a short climb — Sundays are free, which everyone knows.
Bourg-Madame across the bridge has its own (French) rules — fine for a lunch hop, pointless as a strategy.
