Croatia was the first ever country to introduce payment by text message for parking! It's so simple. Look for the blue sign to see which zone you’re in. Send the registration number of your car as a text message (no spaces, no special characters) to the four digit number shown. Your payment is confirmed when you get a message back from them. Different zones have different max waiting times – check carefully to avoid a ticket. Costs are a few kuna per hour. You can also pay at the machines, which accept 5,2,1 kuna and 50 lipa coins. Make sure you display the ticket on your dashboard.
