Free Parking in Downtown Area
Yes, it’s true. You can finally park for free again now in the downtown area of Aruba. However, it’s only free parking after 15:00 PM in the afternoon.
You still have to pay for parking from 7:00 AM until 15:00 PM.

Instead you will get a parking fine if parked incorrectly or exceed your parking time.
I agree with a parking fine better than blocking a car. Because blocking a car is counter productive. Let’s see if this is the solution that brings a change in the parking situation in Aruba.
