Honest overview
Parking here is genuinely hard
The Amalfi Coast remains one of the most challenging places to park in all of Italy. Towns are built vertically into cliffs with almost no flat ground for cars. In peak season (April-October), average rates run 5-8/hour, and after 10 AM finding any spot in Positano or Amalfi is nearly impossible.
This guide compiles official municipal rates, verified private garage prices, and tested strategies to help you save money and avoid fines. We update it every season.
Line colors on the road
Blue lines Paid parking (strisce blu)
White lines Free, but usually residents only
Yellow lines Local services only. Fine guaranteed.
2026 prices by town
Every town, every price
Prices below reflect 2025-2026 official municipal rates where published, and verified aggregate ranges for private garages. High-season prices may fluctuate.
Positano
Most difficult Arrive before 9:00 or park above town and take the bus. Negotiate parking with your hotel in advance.
Ravello
Mountain town Budget 4/hr or 40/day as baseline. Street sections vary, so always verify on-site markings.
Atrani
Strict limits Do NOT plan Atrani as your parking base in summer. The 4-hour limit and overnight ban make it impractical.
Praiano
Clear pricing If staying 6+ hours, the 15 day pass saves money vs. hourly rate. Monthly pass is great for repeat visitors.
Maiori
More accessible One of the easier towns for parking. Good base for exploring nearby Minori and Amalfi.
Minori
Small town Quieter alternative to Amalfi with decent bus connections.
Cetara
Fishing village Great for a meal, but don't count on finding a spot after noon in summer.
Vietri sul Mare
Budget pick Best budget strategy: park here and take ferries or buses along the coast. Save 30-50/day vs. Positano.
Conca dei Marini
Limited Don't rely on finding parking here. Plan an alternative.
Furore
Remote Be prepared for a walk. The fjord is worth it.
Critical to know
ZTL: Limited Traffic Zones
Limited Traffic Zones (Zona a Traffico Limitato) operate in the historic centers of Amalfi, Positano, Ravello, and Atrani. They are monitored by cameras that automatically check your plates.
Restriction times are posted on signs at each zone entrance. Read them carefully.
Vehicle class restrictions apply. Euro 0-3 vehicles are typically prohibited.
Hotel guests with pre-registration can be exempted. Contact your hotel or ask at reception.
Fine: from 150 and up
Violations are punished with a fine starting from 150 euros plus towing expenses if necessary.
Good to know: Even if you've already left the hotel, your accommodation can usually register your plate retroactively. Guest registration documents are typically collected by the commune within 1-2 months.
Save money & stress
Smart parking strategies
Park & Ride Strategy
Leave your car in a cheaper, high-capacity location (Salerno, Vietri sul Mare, or Sorrento) and travel along the coast by ferry or SITA bus. In peak season, the problem is often not price but availability.
Arrive Early Before 9 AM
After 10:00 in summer, even paid garages in Positano and Amalfi are full. Early arrival is the single most effective trick for securing a spot.
Use EasyPark App Remotely
Pay and extend parking time remotely in blue zones across Italy. No need to run back to the meter. Works in most Amalfi Coast towns.
Book Hotels with Parking Included
Many hotels and B&Bs offer parking (sometimes free, sometimes 15-25/day). This alone can save 25-50/day compared to public garages in popular towns.

Important warnings
Never park on the shoulder of SS163 (the coastal highway). Mass towing operations happen regularly. Fine + towing = 150-250+.
White lines = residents only. Yellow lines = local services only. Parking there guarantees a fine. Always look for "Solo Residenti" signs.
Almost no gas stations on the coast. Fill up in Salerno or before entering the coastal road.
Many parking meters and small lots are cash-only. Keep small bills and coins handy.
Skip the car entirely
