The Romance of Cheap Living in Poznań? It’s Officially Over 🚗💸

Remember when Poznań was the affordable European city that stole your heart? Well, grab a tissue, folks, because that love story just hit a plot twist. Starting in 2025, parking fees in the city are skyrocketing, and the City Road Administration (ZDM) is calling it a “balance of needs.” Translation? More cash in their pockets while the rest of us tighten our belts. Inflation’s already got us sweating, and now this? Sweet.

Here’s the breakdown: Parking in the city center is about to feel like a luxury splurge. The first hour will cost PLN 10, the second hour jumps to PLN 12, and if you’re crazy enough to park for a third hour? That’s PLN 14. Yeah, you read that right—PLN 36 for three hours. Hope your errands are worth it.

ZDM claims this move is all about “encouraging tax settlements in Poznań” and not a money grab. Sure, let’s roll with that. But for locals who’ve already been slammed by rising costs of literally everything, this feels less like “balance” and more like the city saying, Thanks for your wallet, sucker!
