Information about Bristol Parking

If you're planning to drive to Bristol, it's important to know that much of the city centre is a Controlled Parking Zone, and parking in the middle can be quite difficult at certain times.

However, there are multiple off-street car parks to choose from at an affordable rate, and Bristol is also served by four park and ride locations that surround the city in all directions.

Additionally, there are still a large number of pay-and-display bays and spaces throughout the city – and there are areas just outside the centre which have no restrictions at all.
