Key takeaway: Figueres in Catalonia is the gateway to the Dalí Theatre-Museum and Costa Brava. The blue zone around the museum costs 1.20 euros (1.32 dollars) per hour with a 2-hour cap, but free street parking is plentiful 8-10 minutes walk away on Plaça del Sol and Carrer del Garrigal. Use Parking Saba Sant Joan (12 euros / 13.20 dollars per day) if you stay 4+ hours – the museum has no on-site car park.
Figueres town hall manages parking through the municipal company FISERSA. The Dalí Museum sits in the historic centre under strict blue zone enforcement. Surrounding residential streets run on green zone (residents free, visitors pay 1 hour max). Beyond the inner ring road, white-line free parking is the norm.
