Parking in Girona is well organised with three colour-coded zones and several covered car parks ringing the historic centre. Blue zones charge €1.10-1.50 / $1.20-1.63 per hour, the main covered lots €15-22 / $16-24 per day, and free street parking is available 10-15 minutes' walk from Plaça Independència — most visitors don't realise that.
Girona uses the standard Spanish ORA system. Blue zones are for everyone (max 2 hours), green zones are mostly resident-only with a small visitor quota at higher rates, and the historic centre (Barri Vell) is largely pedestrian. Enforcement runs Monday-Saturday 09:00-14:00 and 16:00-20:00. Sundays and Spanish public holidays are free.

| ORA Green (residents) | Green | €2.50 / $2.72 (visitor quota only) | 1 h |
