Finding parking near Smithfield, Dublin
Parking in Smithfield, Dublin is centred on paid street bays and the Queen Street car park. Mobypark lets drivers compare and pre-book an available private parking option within the wider Smithfield area before arrival, useful when nearby spaces or time limits are a concern.
Bookable private parking near Smithfield
Mobypark offers bookable private parking spaces that owners do not actively use, including hotel parking, office-building spaces, private driveways and unused garages. An available option around Smithfield can be compared by location and stay length before you set off.
Available Mobypark parking can be lower-priced than the Queen Street public car park, while pre-booking removes the uncertainty of searching on arrival. As the available listing is in the wider Smithfield area rather than directly beside every street, check the exact position and walking route in the booking details.
Off-street parking in Smithfield: Queen Street
The large Queen Street car park has 350 spaces and a 2.0m vehicle-height limit. Its standard charges are €4 per hour, €36 for 24 hours and €10 for overnight parking from 6pm to 8am.
This is a practical choice for a full-day or overnight stay if your vehicle fits the height restriction. If you want to avoid relying on spaces being available at the entrance, compare a pre-booked private space through Mobypark before driving into Smithfield.
Street parking in Smithfield: zones and tariffs
Dublin street parking uses colour-coded zones, with the applicable band shown on signs and pay-and-display machines. Do not assume that every Smithfield street has the same charge.
| Street-parking zone | Hourly rate |
|---|---|
| Yellow | €4.00 |
| Red | €3.50 |
| Green | €2.00 |
| Orange | €1.20 |
| Blue | €0.90 |
Paid parking generally operates from 7am to 7pm, Monday to Saturday, although some streets have longer controlled hours. On-street bays often have one- or two-hour limits during the controlled period. If the street tariff or time limit does not suit your stay, Mobypark provides a pre-booked private alternative around Smithfield.
Free and after-hours parking in Smithfield
Street parking is often free outside the displayed paid hours and on public holidays where local signs allow it. Sunday parking is not automatically free, and some streets may have extended charging periods, so check the sign beside the bay before leaving your vehicle.
Free parking does not mean unrestricted parking. Do not use a disabled bay without the correct permit, block a footpath or junction, obstruct traffic, or park in a bus lane during its operating hours. A five-metre clearance is required at junctions, and pedestrian crossings and traffic lights must remain clear.
Overnight and long-stay parking in Smithfield
For an overnight visit, the Queen Street car park charges €10 from 6pm to 8am. Its 24-hour rate is €36, making off-street parking more suitable than a short-stay street bay when you will remain in Smithfield for most of the day.
For a longer stay, compare the public car park tariff with an available Mobypark space before travelling. Pre-booking can provide a lower-priced private option and avoids driving around under pressure to find a bay.
Parking rules, time limits and fines in Smithfield
Overstaying in a paid parking zone can result in an €80 fixed-charge penalty. More serious offences, such as using a disabled bay without a permit, can attract a penalty of up to €150.
If a parking penalty is not paid within 28 days, the charge increases by 50%; a further 28-day period can lead to court proceedings. Read the bay sign carefully, pay for the correct period and keep within the stated maximum stay.
