In the centre, in most streets during the day (8 a.m. through 4 p.m.) you are required to purchase and mark one-hour parking cards at a low price of |0.70| per hour. Parking cards, which require you to mark the time, are sold in the streets by vendors in yellow vests and also at some newsstands.
A lot of places in the centre are private (marked with a white cross on the ground, a blue P-Reserve traffic sign and sometimes protected with a metal column).
Towing
Cars in Bratislava can be towed if they obstruct traffic and the driver can not be contacted. Cars are towed to the Black Forrest area in the Vlcie Hrdlo district. To retrieve a towed car you must contact the police (phone number 159 for the city police, +421 2 4564 3817 for the towed cars registry) and pay a hefty fine and retrieval fee.

These are used for other parking violations and contain a contact telephone number (you may contact the city police at 159).
