Parking in blue zones in Perugia

Want to park in the Municipality of Perugia? Find out the cost and how to pay.

The blue parking lines indicate regulated paid on-street parking areas, established by the Municipality of Perugia to manage urban traffic. Rates, hours and any concessions are determined by the municipal administration, while the operational management of the service is entrusted to Saba.

Parking on blue lines in Perugia means navigating a city with a compact historic center, extensive Limited Traffic Zone and a mobility system that combines on-street parking, peripheral parking lots and escalators.

The presence of the University, the train station and numerous public offices makes some areas particularly busy, with a high turnover of parking spaces.

For this reason, it's useful to know in advance how paid parking works, what the costs, hours and payment methods are, so you can park correctly and avoid fines.
