80 Largo do Rossio de São João Batista, 8600-722, Lagos
Been here?
Small paid parking area in Lagos, suitable mainly for vans rather than motorhomes, and crowded early in the morning or on market days. Parking costs €3 for the day, with tickets checked; one stay reported 3.45€ for a little over 1.5h. It is close to the center, marina and public toilets about 100 meters away. Traffic, pedestrians, light and occasional overnight enforcement can make staying noisy or uncertain.

In the low season. I took the last space next to the wall and parked without any problem. €3.45 for a little over 1.5 hours because I arrived during paid hours. But I stayed overnight. On Saturday the car park filled up and I nearly got trapped, but I was able to leave. Very good place to visit the area.Translating
It is an incredibly small parking lot and is definitely not suitable for motorhomes, only vans. It gets crowded early in the morning.Translating
Excellent. For only €3. Safe parking near bus station. Across from marina where there are toilets. Make sure you get your ticket because they do check
Small car park, €3 for the whole day. Close to the centre and right by the promenade in Lagos. Parking tickets are often checked. More suitable for smaller vehicles.Translating
Definitely only for small vans, not motorhomes.Translating
From October to May, free from 7 p.m. to 9 a.m. and on weekends; otherwise €3 for the whole day. We spent the night here with three other motorhomes. There was a lot of car and pedestrian noise until late, but it did not prevent us from sleeping.Translating
Watch out! We had a €150 fine behind the windscreen wipers the next morning! Quite a lot of noise at night and very bright lighting. Not recommended in high season, when checks are probably more frequent.Translating
Convenient parking near the centre of Lagos. At this time of year, payment is required from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., only €3. Slept here; quiet.Translating
Great for €3. Quiet and safe night. We left the van during the day with complete peace of mind. Public toilets 100 metres away. There were two other vans staying overnight.Translating
Great Location, can be noisy with traffic from main road and bus station next door. Definitely don't stop overnight if you are a light sleeper. 3 euro for 24 hours though bargain.
€3 per day, as there is a parking meter at the entrance. Somewhat noisy but very well located. Lagos is by far the liveliest town in the Algarve, with supermarkets nearby.Translating
Ideal parking for visiting the city (€5 all day in summer, even if you arrive at 10 p.m.). Free from midnight to 9 a.m. We tried to sleep, but the traffic noise was unbearable and we had to move elsewhere.Translating
The place is as described: quiet and spacious. But at night it is somewhat noisy because the main avenue is nearby. Otherwise everything was fine. The price is also very good: €5 per day, close to local restaurants and cafés, with the marina next door for walks.Translating
Very good location for discovering the city and taking part in water excursions. €5 per day in high season.Translating
Good location for visiting the city, with restaurants and bars just across the harbour. We spent a quiet night in this car park. There is only a very busy road nearby, but if that does not bother you, it is fine.Translating
A perfect car park for visiting Lagos. We stayed with a 6.5 m motorhome and it was perfect. It costs €5 per day from 9 a.m. to midnight, regardless of what time you arrive. We arrived at 11 p.m. and still had to pay €5. Inspectors also check, and anyone without a ticket is fined.Translating
Two nights and very good. Some noise in the mornings. Only for vans; motorhomes do not fit, it is too small. €3 per day, very flat and close to the centre.Translating
Paid Day parking(only a few € on our visit a couple of weeks ago) in the heart of Lagos, tight for motorhomes, we fit in to normal parking space at 6m long, but not really suitable otherwise. Walk right along prom & pavement to reach old town which is nice, very busy. Beach at the end & boat trips to rock formations. Parking warden checked displayed tickets when we were in van, fined a few owners.
It is a shame, because the location close to the city is ideal for going to restaurants. However, it is not pleasant for sleeping at all. City noise is quite loud, with a major busy road, and especially the bar opposite, where a live concert was unbearable. We could not spend the night here.Translating
Very good for vans, public toilets about a 5 minute walk away in the marina, they close at 830. had a peaceful sleep here.
We came here as a last resort after feeling unwelcome and on edge in another spot. This place feels safe. We paid €3 for 2 nights (free between 7pm and 9am in low season, we left before 9am). The police do check your tickets. It gets quite busy in the early evening with cars but quietens down at night time. There are big motorhomes parked here so can be done.
I cannot understand the many positive comments. Fine for vans. Not suitable for motorhomes because it is far too tight, and there is also a risk of being blocked in.Translating
For three euros a day, we slept very peacefully alongside several other caravans. The traffic noise at night did not bother us.Translating
