Rome Parking Lots

Parking Lots in Central Rome

The following lots/garages are in central Rome; also check out the helpful Car Parking Europe page/maps

Parcheggi di Scambio (Park & Ride)

A parcheggio di scambio (literally "exchange parking lot") is a "park and ride" lot: found outside of central Rome, you can park cheaply and ride the Metro (or other public transit) into the center.  Most park & ride lots are €1.50 for 12 hours, or €2.50 for longer (up to all day), or free if you have a monthly or annual Rome transit pass.  A full listing is on the Rome transit bureau's page, but unfortunately the English version doesn't work.  They also have a good Metro map (PDF), and the City of Rome provides a good map showing the parcheggi di scambio  (PDF), although all the writing is in Italian.  The following are some of the major parcheggi di scambio on the Metro lines:

Street Parking

Note that street parking is mostly pay-per-hour (~€1 to 1.20/hour) from 8 AM to 8 PM (blue lines = paid spot, white lines = free)...most such spots are also free of charge on Sundays (and public holidays). You can pay in cash or with the MyCicero app.  Some people claim that the Lungotevere (the streets lining the banks of the Tevere) often has spots, and is outside the ZTL (see below).

ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone)

Most of central Rome, including most of the historic center (the centro storico) is a Zona Traffica Limitata (ZTL) or "limited traffic zone" where only residents may drive—if you drive by a ZTL camera, you face a stiff fine.
