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.

More information on ZTL:

• • Roma Mobilità has the official maps/information, mostly in English

  • Rome Accommodation and Expats Living In Rome have great explanations including photos of what the cameras look like

  • This Google Map of ZTL zones is a little easier to navigate than the official map, although I don't know how often it gets updated

  • ...note that some of the "major" streets, even in the historic center, such as Corso Vittorio Emmanuele II, are not part of the ZTL (although Via Nazionale is)

Maps

The following maps are useful for parking:

• • Rome transit bureau's Metro map (PDF), showing which stations have parking lots

  • City of Rome's excellent map showing the parcheggi di scambio (PDF), although all the writing is in Italian

  • 060608.it provides a great interactive map showing most of the major parking lots
