Hoboken is a small city on the Hudson River in northeastern New Jersey.

Get Around

Midtown from Hoboken - View of Midtown Manhattan from Frank Sinatra Park. Seeing the great view of Manhattan is part of the draw of a visit to Hoboken.

Walk! It is incredibly hard to find parking in Hoboken. Some places to find parking are Sinatra Drive by the Hudson River, or any street named after a president (besides Washington). The city-run parking garages on Hudson Street and elsewhere are also an excellent option if you're worried about getting booted. The parking garages generally range from $3-5 an hour and prices jump up if you leave the vehicle overnight. Some of the parking garages are also either for Hoboken residents or available in monthly payments only so, read the signs and ask people at the parking garages to double check.

Besides walking and the Hudson Bike Share allows users to ride bikes and between bike stations in Hoboken and other towns nearby. The Frank Sinatra Park and the Hudson River Walkway are examples of nice places to bike. It is very important to mention that the system is not compatible with Jersey City'sCitibike system. However, three HBS stations are planned in Jersey City to make the lives of residents and tourists who use the bike-sharing system easier.

If you must park, read the signs on the street. Make sure that you ARE allowed to park where you're leaving your car. Most streets have one side reserved for Hoboken Residents, that are marked clearly with a green background and white letters. These are Resident Only parking sides and you must have a resident permit to park there. Street cleaning restrictions are in effect as well as a time limit of 4 hours for non-residents - after that, you should move your car.

Finding a parking spot is so hard in Hoboken that they sell parking spaces for up to $40,000.
