Our parking picks
Autosilo Valduce
garage The locals’ value pick — a multi-storey garage on Viale Lecco about five minutes from the Duomo, cheaper than the lakefront options, cash only.
Parcheggio Centro Lago | BEST IN PARKING
garage The lakefront garage — you step out almost on the water by the city centre. Convenient and secure, but among the pricier options at about €3/hour.
PARCHEGGIO ARENA DEL TEATRO SOCIALE DI COMO
lot The closest car park to the Duomo — handy for a quick visit, but it is an open lot with no daily cap, so it gets expensive if you stay.
Autosilo Como Centro Storico
garage A big, well-located central garage on Via Auguadri — convenient, but with a 2 m height limit and a notorious low overhang that has shattered rear windows.
Parking Jasca
garage A small central garage on Piazza Volta, steps from the lake — superb location, but consistently flagged as one of the priciest, with an attendant directing cars.
Parking como
garage A BestInParking garage near the lake with comfortable, SUV-friendly bays and a simple flat €2.50/hour rate — a good middle-ground choice.
Como Central Parking
garage A reservable central garage on Viale Innocenzo XI at about €25/day — handy if you book ahead, though opinions on the key-handover service are mixed.
Parcheggio Quarto Ponte
garage A dated but covered car park on Viale Innocenzo XI that is excellent value by the day or week — the pick for a multi-night stay if you can live with tight bays.
Parcheggio Santarella
lot A bargain day-parking lot near Sant’Abbondio — about €5 for the whole day and walkable to the centre, if you arrive early enough to get a space.
Parcheggio di via Regina
lot Free The free option — a roomy lot on the edge of town near the San Rocco bus stop, in exchange for a longer walk or a short bus ride into the centre.Hotels worth booking for their parking

Tips & information
Como sits at the southern tip of its lake, and its compact old town — the walled Città Murata around the Duomo — is largely pedestrian, with a ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato) and almost no street parking near the water. The sensible plan is to leave the car in one of the ring of garages and lots and walk in; nearly everything in the centre is within a 5-to-20-minute stroll. Prices vary sharply by how close to the lake you are: the lakefront Centro Lago garage and Parking Jasca put you right by the water but charge a premium (around €3/hour and up), while a few minutes inland the Autosilo Valduce runs about €1.50/hour and is the locals’ value pick. The Arena del Teatro Sociale lot is the closest to the Duomo but has no daily cap, so it suits short visits. For a longer or cheaper stay, head for the edges — Parcheggio Santarella is around €5 for the day, Quarto Ponte is unbeatable by the week, and Parcheggio di via Regina is genuinely free with a frequent bus into town. Below you will find each option with prices, quirks and walking times drawn from recent visitor reviews — plus a short list of hotels picked because parking with them, whether free on-site or a clearly explained nearby garage, is genuinely easy.
