Free parking is rare in Karpacz. Most parking spaces are paid 24/7, even during the off-season. The good news? The city offers a number of parking lots scattered throughout Karpacz. However, it's worth knowing where the best places to leave your car are, how much parking costs, and which locations are best before hitting the trails or strolling through the center.
There are currently 14 paid municipal parking lots in Karpacz, located both in the city center and near the most popular attractions and hiking trails.
