Parking in Verona outside ZTL

Verona's historic centre is a ZTL, a limited traffic zone: visitors cannot drive in, except guests of hotels inside the zone. The best place to park is outside the ZTL, then walk into the city centre. All six car parks you can book with Parclick are outside the ZTL: SABA Verona Arena is about 490 m from the Arena for €22 a day, and SABA Verona Isolo about 430 m from Piazza dei Signori for €21.

Does Verona have a ZTL? Rules and who can drive in

Yes. ZTL stands for Zona a Traffico Limitato, a limited traffic zone. Of Verona's ZTL zones, the main one is the ZTL Città Antica: the old town inside the bend of the Adige, with Piazza delle Erbe, Piazza dei Signori, Via Mazzini and the surrounding streets. You can only drive in with a permit or a booked entry, and booking entries is only open to residents of Verona and its province. For visitors there are no free access hours, on weekdays or at weekends: 11 camera gates read number plates, and driving in without authorisation means a fine.

• Guests of hotels inside the ZTL: can drive in if the hotel registers the number plate; holiday rentals are excluded.
• Piazza Bra: closed to all private vehicles 24 hours a day, every day.
• Ponte Aleardi: closed to traffic from 7am to 6pm every day, public holidays included.
• Ponte Navi and Via San Paolo: monitored by cameras.
• Veronetta: the Santo Stefano area has its own ZTL with its own camera gate.

The up-to-date ZTL map, with all the gates and any changes, is on the official website of the Comune di Verona. If you use a sat nav, don't let it take you into the centre: a car park outside the ZTL is the simplest way to avoid a fine.

Is the ZTL a low emission zone? Anti-smog rules in Verona

No. The ZTL only controls access to the historic centre. What drivers know as a low emission zone is a separate measure in Verona: anti-smog restrictions across the whole municipality, from 1 October to 30 April, between 8:30am and 7:30pm. The Euro classes below apply to the current season and can change, so check them on comune.verona.it before you travel.

Level	When	Vehicles not allowed
Green (no alert)	Monday to Friday, except public holidays	Diesel Euro 0–4, petrol Euro 0–1, bi-fuel LPG and methane Euro 0–1, motorcycles and mopeds Euro 0
Orange and red (PM10 alert)	Every day, including Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays	Also: diesel Euro 5, petrol Euro 2, bi-fuel Euro 2, motorcycles Euro 1

The level in force is published on comune.verona.it, based on the ARPAV bulletin issued on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and the measures start the following day. Electric and hybrid vehicles are exempt, as are cars with 3 or more people on board and guests of accommodation inside the area, only for the journey in and out, with a copy of the booking and a self-declaration. You can still use the Tangenziale Est and Sud, the motorway sections within the municipality, the signposted route from the Verona Sud toll gate to the Fiera, and the route from the Verona Nord toll gate to the stadium. The rules apply according to the vehicle's Euro class. Fines range from €168 to €678, and leaving the engine running while stationary for more than a minute is not allowed.

Which car park to choose depending on where you arrive from

Pick the car park on the side of the city you are driving in from, so you never have to cross the centre by car:

• From the south and the A4 motorway, Verona Sud exit: SABA Verona Arena on Via Bentegodi, outside the ZTL near Piazza Bra; or GARAGE VERONA in the Fiera area, where staff park your car and a shuttle takes you to the centre.
• From the east, towards Veronetta: SABA Verona Isolo, covered and guarded, or Paradiso Verona, where you leave your keys with the staff.
• From the north-west: SABA Arsenale, handy for Castelvecchio, or SABA Ospedale Borgo Trento, next to the hospital.

Car park	Area	Distance	Opening hours	Price for 1 day
SABA Verona Arena	Via Bentegodi 8, Cittadella	490 m from the Arena	24 hours	€22
GARAGE VERONA	Viale del Lavoro 22a, Fiera area	300 m from the Fiera, shuttle to the centre	7:30am–8pm	€30
SABA Verona Isolo	Via Ponte Pignolo 6/c, Veronetta	430 m from Piazza dei Signori	24 hours	€21
Paradiso Verona	Via Paradiso 13, Veronetta	550 m from Juliet's House	7am–9pm (Saturdays from 7:30am, Sundays from 9am)	€25
SABA Arsenale	Via Cappellini 2, Arsenale	320 m from Castelvecchio	Mon–Fri 24 hours	€21
SABA Ospedale Borgo Trento	Via San Camillo de Lellis, Borgo Trento	620 m from the Arsenale	24 hours	€24.50

Straight-line distances. Prices are per day: parking for a day costs the same even if you only stay a few hours. For overnight parking, SABA Verona Arena, SABA Verona Isolo and SABA Ospedale Borgo Trento are open 24 hours, and SABA Verona Arena is staffed around the clock. At the SABA car parks, after parking you validate your booking at the car park office with your Parclick receipt. For opera nights and concerts, see parking near the Arena di Verona.

Park and ride in Verona: car park with a shuttle to the centre

If you would rather leave the car as soon as you come off the motorway, GARAGE VERONA works as a park and ride: it is on Viale del Lavoro, near the Verona Sud exit, staff park your car and the shuttle takes you to the centre or your hotel. To come back, call the car park at least 30 minutes ahead. It is open every day from 7:30am to 8pm and costs €30 a day, shuttle included.

Street parking in Verona: what the blue, yellow-and-blue and yellow lines mean

The colour of the bay tells you who can park and when:

Lines	Where	Rules
Blue	Inside the ZTL	€2 an hour, every day from 8am to midnight, Sundays and public holidays included
Blue	Corso Porta Nuova	€2 an hour (minimum 1 hour), every day from 8am to midnight
Blue	Veronetta, San Zeno, Cittadella, Pindemonte, Catena, Faccio-Foroni	€1 an hour from 8am to 8pm; free on Sundays, public holidays and after 8pm; 2 hours maximum in some streets

Yellow	—	Residents only

Blue and yellow-and-blue bays inside the ZTL are only useful if you are allowed to drive in: as a visitor, look for public street parking in the blue zones of the neighbourhoods outside the ZTL. With the Parclick app you pay for blue-zone parking in Verona from your phone and book your covered car park, all in the same app.

Outside the ZTL, the blue bays in Veronetta, San Zeno and Cittadella are free on Sundays, public holidays and every day after 8pm; inside the ZTL and on Corso Porta Nuova you always pay. The cheapest car parks for a full day cost €21 (SABA Verona Isolo and SABA Arsenale).
