Park and pay in Milan with the Telepass app

Parking in Milan: main parking solutions

There are several types of parking options in Milan. Parking areas can be grouped into three main types: on-street parking, structure parking (or gated and accessible via barrier)—this includes garages and parking lots—as well as park-and-ride facilities. With the Telepass app, you can pay for parking on blue lines in Milan paying only for actual minutes used and with no extra fees. The Telepass device also gives you access to a network of affiliated structure car parks located throughout the city, especially in central areas near key attractions and locations such as the Milan Central, Garibaldi, and Cadorna train stations, among many others.

On-street parking is managed by the Sosta Milano system from ATM on behalf of the Municipality. Paid spaces are marked by Affiliated Parking blue lines.

Structure or barrier-access parking may be underground or above-ground, monitored or unmonitored, public or private. Rates are generally hourly, with discounts for daily tickets and weekly or monthly subscriptions. In larger facilities, entry is often enabled via electronic toll devices like Telepass.

If you're a tourist staying in a hotel or B&B, make sure the accommodation provides reserved spaces for guests or offers special rates with affiliated car parks.

Structure parking in Milan: where they are

If you need to park for a longer time in Milan or want to leave your car near train stations, airports, motorway exits, hospitals, or other key areas of the city, structure or barrier-access parking is the right choice.

These parking facilities are located around the center or close to major infrastructures. They usually have variable hourly rates, are open 24 hours (or almost), and offer daily and weekly/monthly passes.

Many of them are affiliated with the Affiliated Parking service, included in all offers. Parking in an affiliated car park allows faster entry and exit since your device works just like on a motorway: look for the columns with the logo and take the reserved lane. Slow down near the barrier and pass through once the device beeps. You can manage your parking and costs through the Telepass app, with charges billed quarterly.
