Finding parking in Sorrento isn't as difficult as many people think! There are a number of parking options in the center of town, though there is no free parking. There are very limited free public parking spaces (those marked by white lines) where you can leave your car all day, and finding one unoccupied is a bit like winning the lottery.
If you are arriving in Sorrento by car, remember that the historic center of town is closed to traffic each evening after 7:30 pm and all day Sunday. The parking options listed below are always accessible, even when the downtown is closed to motor vehicles.
Street Parking
Here are the few places you can find free street parking, marked in white paint:
Via Rota (quite far from the center)
Via Parsano (just steps from Corso Italia)
In the rest of the town center, parking is marked in blue paint, which means that you must pay. There are parking meters near the parking spaces where you can insert coins to pay for a set time period; take the printed ticket with the end time of your paid parking period from the meter and display it on your dashboard.
Blue Paid Public Parking Costs
30 minutes: EUR 1
1 hour and each subsequent hour: EUR 2
