Parcheggio di via Regina is the answer for drivers who would rather walk (or hop a bus) than pay: a free lot on the western edge of Como with plenty of spaces, room even for campers, and — crucially — the San Rocco bus stop nearby, from which frequent buses reach the centre in about ten minutes. On foot it is roughly a 15-to-25-minute walk to the lakefront. Reviewers love that it is free and that they found a spot even in tourist season, with two practical caveats: the entrance road is rough (one driver lost an exhaust on it), and it can feel isolated after dark, so some women travelling alone prefer not to use it late in the evening.
Good to know
- Free, with lots of space — the best bet for a budget day out.
- Take the bus from the nearby San Rocco stop (~10 minutes to the centre) instead of the longer walk.
- The entrance road is rough — go slowly to protect your underside.
Pros
