Multi-storey parking on Wschodnia or a guarded car park on Narutowicza?
Two municipal multi-storey car parks have opened on Wschodnia Street in the centre of Łódź. They tempt with the hourly rate - but they are unguarded and unstaffed. See a fair comparison and why paying around PLN 1.50 more per hour for a guarded car park almost always pays off.

Why a guarded car park makes more sense
Safety, especially at night
The difference is biggest after dark. We have staff and monitoring with people on site - not an empty, automated multi-storey building.
A small surcharge
A guarded car park from just PLN 1.50 more per hour and PLN 15 more per day. For that, your car is under constant care.
Wide spaces, ground level
Comfortable bays on flat ground - no tight manoeuvring between pillars and no risk of scratches from a neighbour.
No ramps or lifts
You drive in and park. No spiralling up floors and no waiting for a lift.
No height limit
A van, a car with a roof box, on LPG or a taller SUV will get in where a multi-storey car park will not let you.
Cheaper monthly pass
A monthly subscription of PLN 400 instead of PLN 550 - PLN 150 cheaper, and on a guarded site.
When the Wschodnia car parks are enough
If you leave the car for a short time during the day and only the lowest hourly rate matters, the municipal multi-storey car park will be PLN 1.50/h cheaper. Need to charge an electric car during your stay? You will find chargers there. But for a longer stay, overnight, or when safety matters - come back to the guarded car park on Narutowicza.
The Wschodnia multi-storey car parks - the facts
Two municipal multi-storey car parks operate on Wschodnia Street in the centre of Łódź: at no. 62/64 (258 spaces, opened in May 2026) and at no. 67 (226 spaces, opened in July 2026). Both are automated - barrier entry with plate recognition, no staff on site - with monitoring, lifts and chargers for electric cars. The city describes their role as rotational, aimed at short stays. Tariff: PLN 5.50 per hour, PLN 55 per day, PLN 550 per month.
We are in the same part of the centre
Our car park at Narutowicza 26/28 is a few minutes from Wschodnia Street and from Piotrkowska - in the very heart of the city centre. Guarded, lit and open around the clock.
Frequently asked questions
How much does parking in the centre of Łódź cost?
You have three options in the centre. On-street, in the paid parking zone (strict centre), you pay about PLN 6.90 per hour - and a whole working day adds up to roughly PLN 83, and only between 7:00 and 19:00, with a time limit and the need to find a free spot. The municipal multi-storey car park on Wschodnia is PLN 5.50/h and PLN 55/day, with no staff. With us you pay PLN 7/h, PLN 70/day or PLN 400/month - so a day costs less than a whole day in the on-street zone, on a guarded site, around the clock and with no time limit.
Are the Wschodnia car parks guarded?
No. The municipal multi-storey car parks on Wschodnia are automated - with a barrier and plate recognition, but no staff on site. Our car park is guarded, with staff around the clock.
Is it worth paying more for a guarded car park?
The difference is about PLN 1.50 per hour or PLN 15 per day. In return, your car stays on a guarded, monitored site with staff on hand - which matters most in the evening, at night and for longer stays.
Parking overnight in the centre of Łódź - where is it safe?
For overnight parking a guarded car park with staff works best. Ours is open around the clock, including weekends and holidays, and the site is lit and monitored with personnel on hand. An automated multi-storey car park stays unstaffed after hours.
Where can I park a van in the centre of Łódź?
On an open, guarded car park at ground level. We accept cars, vans and smaller delivery vehicles (up to 2 m high) and single-track vehicles. Multi-storey car parks have a height limit, so taller vehicles cannot enter.
Can I park a car running on LPG?
Yes. We are an open, ground-level car park, so LPG vehicles park without any issue. In enclosed and underground facilities this is often restricted for fire-safety reasons - here that problem does not arise.
Can I park an electric car?
Yes, electric cars park with us without restrictions. If you need to charge during your stay, you will find chargers at the municipal multi-storey car parks; with us the focus is on safe, guarded parking.
