Sintra Council increases parking fees and extends paid zones to beaches

📍 Lisboa🏖️ Daily Life🏛️ Government#parking-fees+3 more

Sintra Council has approved the expansion of paid parking to beach areas, increased rates for car parks and limited-duration zones, and introduced monthly permits for tourism operators. The measure, announced on Wednesday, March 11, aims to manage parking pressure in urban areas and tourist hotspots. The new tariffs, effective from April 1, have faced criticism from opposition parties, who argue the move lacks a comprehensive mobility strategy and negatively impacts residents and local businesses. Mayor Marco Almeida defended the decision, citing the need for better space management and promising future plans for additional parking capacity.
