Finding parking in Cork can be difficult. Most car parks charge by the hour. If you are parking at the side of the road, make sure that it is permitted. Parking is never permitted on roads with double yellow lines, disabled driver spaces, on footpaths or within five metres of a junction. Streets with single yellow lines prohibit parking at specific times and cars that are parked illegally could be towed or clamped.

The city centre operates a disc parking system and cars parked in a disc parking area must display a valid disc. These discs are available from most shops within the parking area, such as Centra, Daybreak, or Spar. Some residents living in the city centre are eligible for parking permits which allow them to park in the vicinity adjacent to their residence free of charge. Further details about parking permits are available on the Cork City Council website. You can download a map of the UCC visitor's parking from the UCC website.

You can download a city and cycle map from the UCC website.
