How to pay for blue parking zones in Monza

Parking meters

In Monza, parking on blue lines can be paid through parking meters installed in the main parking areas. The parking meters allow you to purchase parking time easily by following the instructions displayed on the screen.

Generally, you can pay:

  • With coins, inserting them directly into the parking meter.
  • With payment cards, if the device is equipped with a POS terminal.

When payment is made through a parking meter that issues a paper ticket, the ticket must be clearly displayed on the dashboard, allowing enforcement officers to verify the validity of your parking.

App and digital services

In addition to parking meters, in Monza it is possible to pay for parking on blue lines through official and digital apps, which make the process simpler and more flexible compared to traditional payment. The Municipality of Monza provides the "Monza Mobilità" app, the official app developed to park and manage urban mobility services directly from your smartphone.

With this app, you can view paid parking areas, pay for parking in just moments and associate parking with your vehicle's license plate, without needing to go to a parking meter or display a paper ticket.

Telepass App

Among the available digital solutions is also the payment of blue parking stripes through the Telepass app, which allows you to manage parking directly from the app without having to look for a parking meter.

With Telepass:

  • No paper ticket needs to be displayed.
  • Parking can be started, extended, or ended with just a few taps.
  • The charge is automatically processed at the end of the period, together with other Telepass services.

This method is particularly useful in the central and busier areas of Monza, where flexible parking management allows you to optimize time and avoid penalties related to expired parking.

How much do the blue parking stripes cost in Monza

Parking in the blue zones in Monza has rates that vary based on duration, with the aim of encouraging vehicle turnover in the most frequented areas. The rules are valid every day, including both weekdays and holidays, and may vary depending on the specific zone where you park.

Hourly rates by zone

Blue parking spaces are present in different areas of the city, including the historic center, semi-central areas and high-traffic connections such as Villa Reale or near the hospital and train station. In many of these areas, the fee has a tiered hourly structure based on the duration of parking.

The minimum amount for a single parking session is €0.60.

It is always important to refer to the vertical signage present on site, which defines the exact hours and cost for each parking space.

Discounted rates and short-term parking

Monza provides specific benefits for certain users, particularly for residents.

  • Residents of the Municipality of Monza registered on the app: possibility of 59 minutes of free parking per day on all blue-lined parking spaces, if parking is initiated through the "Monza Mobilità" app.

These benefits allow users to cover quick stops or short errands at no cost, provided they use the correct digital payment method.

Subscriptions and permits

In addition to standard hourly rates, Monza has introduced discounted parking permits. These permits are designed especially for those who frequently use the same parking lot or need to park for work or long-term reasons, offering a more convenient solution compared to continuous hourly payment:

  • Monthly permits for residents and non-residents: available through the Monza Mobilità portal for parking during the week, with prices differentiated based on category (e.g., residents, non-residents).
  • Annual permits for specific zones: in some areas (such as ZPRU6 San Gerardo–Borgo Bergamo) there are permits with particularly low costs for residents, valid for one vehicle per tax code.

Resident discounts are conditional on registering the license plate in the official app and activating the digital service.

Blue parking zone hours in Monza

The blue parking stripe validity hours in Monza are established by the Municipality and precisely indicated by the vertical signage present in each parking area. The time slots may vary depending on the zone, but they follow a general scheme valid for most of the urban territory.

Standard hours

In general, parking on blue lines in Monza is paid on weekdays, with rates applied during daytime and evening hours as established by the Municipality.

In most areas:

  • Parking is regulated from Monday to Sunday.
  • Payment is required from 8:00 AM until midnight (24:00).

Center, station and sensitive areas

In some areas of the city, characterized by high parking demand, blue stripe parking hours are applied continuously and with greater rigidity.

  • Historic center: in central streets and high-turnover areas, parking is regulated to encourage vehicle turnover. Payment hours generally follow the 8:00 AM–midnight timeframe, with possible duration limits indicated by signage.
  • Train station area: in areas near the railway station, parking is often paid throughout the day and evening to ensure availability for train users or public transport services.
  • Hospitals, schools, and public services: near healthcare facilities, schools, or administrative centers, specific regulations may apply, with extended hours or special limitations, always indicated on street signs.

In all these areas, vertical signage remains the official reference for hours, rates, and parking conditions.

Blue stripes in Monza on holidays

In Monza, parking on blue lines may be subject to payment even on public holidays, depending on the area.

In particular:

  • In many central and high-traffic areas, payment remains active even on holidays.
  • In other zones, parking may be free, but only if expressly indicated by signs.

Therefore, there is no single rule valid for the entire city: on holidays, it is always necessary to check the signs posted on site, which indicate any exemptions or free time periods.

Blue parking spaces free in Monza: who is entitled to exemptions

Il Comune di Monza prevede esenzioni e agevolazioni specifiche per alcune categorie di utenti, definite dalla normativa comunale sulla sosta.

Disability (CUDE)

Vehicles serving people with disabilities, equipped with a valid CUDE badge, can park free of charge in blue-lined parking spaces, without time limits, unless otherwise indicated.

The badge must be visibly displayed, or associated with the license plate in municipal digital systems, if provided for.

Service vehicles

The following are exempt from paying for blue parking spaces when engaged in institutional or emergency activities:

  • Law Enforcement.
  • Emergency and rescue vehicles.
  • Civil Protection.
  • Municipal vehicles or public entity vehicles on operational duty.

The exemption is valid exclusively during the performance of service.

Residents and sector permits

Residents in regulated parking zones can access sector parking permits, which allow parking in designated areas according to the conditions established by the Municipality.

Benefits for residents may include:

  • Free short-term parking.
  • Monthly or annual permits.
  • Preferential conditions compared to the standard hourly rate.

The issuance and use of permits are managed through the official channels of the Municipality and Monza Mobilità.

Some professional categories can benefit from temporary exemptions during the performance of service activities, including:

  • Doctors on house calls.
  • Healthcare and social assistance personnel.
  • Operators of public entities and essential services.

Free parking is normally limited to the time strictly necessary for the performance of the intervention and requires possession of a municipal authorization.

Blue parking zones in Monza: electric and hybrid cars

The Municipality of Monza provides specific benefits for low environmental impact vehicles, with different rules for electric and hybrid cars.

  • Hybrid cars: hybrid cars do not automatically benefit from free parking. Any benefits depend on current municipal regulations and are not equivalent to those provided for fully electric vehicles.
