Understanding Como’s Parking Landscape

Como’s city center is a Restricted Traffic Zone (ZTL), which can make driving and parking within this area tricky. However, several parking garages and public parking spaces are available just outside the ZTL, providing convenient access to the city’s attractions.

Below is a list of key parking garages in Como, ordered by their distance from Lock and Go luggage storage at Viale Felice Cavallotti 2a, which is conveniently located between Como San Giovanni train station and the ferry pier by the lakefront at lungo Lario Trento.

Parking lots are never guarded and unfortunately these thefts happen every year!

Just 400 meters from the Como San Giovanni train station and the ferry pier ticket office, Lock and Go provides 24/7 video surveillance, ensuring that your belongings are safe while you explore the city without worry.
