Arrival and getting around in Pori

You can easily get to Pori via highways 2, 8, 23 and 11 – so all you have to do is turn on your navigator and go!

All the parking areas in the city centre are conveniently located on this map. For more information on car parking and its prices, visit the City of Pori website. In addition, Sokos, IsoKarhu and Puuvilla shopping centres, for example, have plenty of time-limited parking.

If you want to avoid driving in the city centre, park your car and hop on a local bus: for example, between Valtatie 2 and the railway, near Matkakeskus, you will find a large free 24-hour car park.

Use the parking disc in the areas indicated.

The parking disc is used to set the parking start time.
The time will be set as the hour or half-hour following the start of parking, whichever is the earlier
For example, if you park your car in a space at 14.18, you must set the parking disc at 14.30
If your parking starts at 15.11, you should set the disc at 15.30
You may not change the time of arrival during the period of validity of the parking disc.
The parking disc must be placed in a visible position on the inside of the windscreen so that it can be read from the outside. Only one disc may be used at a time.
Parking discs can be purchased from our tourist information and department stores, for example.
