The best way to get around Milan is certainly on foot or by public transport, so if you decide to drive to Lombardy’s main city, the advice is to find a car park and leave your vehicle there for the duration of your stay.
However, it’s worth noting that finding a car park in Milan isn’t straightforward, and not all hotels have parking spaces for guests. Milan is one of Italy’s most chaotic cities and one of Europe’s most densely populated metropolitan areas. Milan’s city centre is also full of restricted traffic zones which, often combined with heavy traffic, make driving difficult.
If, however, a car is the most practical means of transport for you, don’t be discouraged – there are several options available, and to help you we’ve put together a mini-guide with plenty of useful tips on where to park in Milan.
Many people drive around Milan, so getting around and, in particular, parking in the city can take considerable time and (a lot of) patience. You can choose to park your car in one of the car parks near the historic centre or opt for a more distant car park that’s more economical. Near the centre, there are usually car spaces linked to hotels, restaurants or other facilities; these are typically covered, video-monitored and offer hourly or daily rates.
For some, the easiest way to find parking is to drive to neighbouring towns such as Baggio and Lambrate, then once parked there, take public transport into Milan. In particular, Baggio’s Monumental Cemetery and Lambrate station offer free car parking.
Below is a selection of reliable private car parks in each area.
Parking near Milan Central Station may be the right choice for those who come to Milan not just to visit the city but also to use it as a base for day trips to discover the surrounding area. Milan Central Railway Station is well connected to several nearby places such as Monza, Como and Mantua.
This area boasts several covered car parks, some with attendants and others with video surveillance only. Be careful because some car parks are ideal for long stays of several days, while others are only suitable for short or day-long visits. Once you’ve parked your car, you can use the metro or the various bus routes to reach Piazza Duomo and the historic centre.
Particularly those visiting Milan for business meetings may find it useful to park their car in the area of Garibaldi Station, close to the famous Piazza Gae Aulenti. This is a truly strategic location with both a metro station and a railway station. You can find several covered car parks and some multi-storey car parks open 24/7. Some facilities are manned and offer additional services such as car washing. If needed, monthly or annual passes are also available. These car spaces can also be useful for those needing to get to the Corso Como area, which is an area full of bars and restaurants.
If you’re in Milan to attend a trade fair at the Rho exhibition site, you won’t have any trouble finding car spaces. The fair has a large car park with rates designed for those leaving their cars for half a day or a full day during trade fair events. There are also car parks for Telepass holders who can pay for parking directly from their Telepass account.
To save even more, you can park your car in nearby areas such as Lampugnano or Molino Dorino and then use the metro to get around. In these areas, you can find even more affordable prices. Near Rho railway station, on Via Zara, there’s a large car park that’s always free. From there you can catch one of the many trains heading to Rho Fiera or Milan Central.
If you’re arriving in Milan by plane, you might find it useful to hire a car that you can use to explore Lombardy’s territories. There are many cities and sites to see in the region, and having a car at your disposal can be advantageous for moving around with complete freedom.
Hiring a car at the airport – whether it’s Malpensa, Linate, or Bergamo Orio al Serio – is always the best choice (and often the most economical too) but if you’ve planned to visit Milan as your first stop, you won’t need a car. As we’ve already said, Milan is perfect for exploring on foot or by public transport. In this case, we recommend reaching the centre of Lombardy’s capital by public transport or a comfortable taxi, depending on which airport you arrive at, and enjoy your time discovering the city in complete peace of mind.
Once your stay in Milan is over, you can reach the car hire agency at the airport by bus or train and once you’ve picked up your car, you can continue your itinerary. At the end of your holiday, you can return to the airport by the same means to catch your return flight and drop off the car. If you arrive in Milan by train, there are also car hire services near Central Station and near Porta Garibaldi Station. Of course, you can hire a car from other locations too, but it’s certainly more economical to pick up and return the vehicle at the same agency to avoid any surcharges.
Air, rail and motorway connections make Milan a city that’s easily accessible not only from Italy but also from various European and non-European locations.
If you’re travelling by car, you can easily reach Lombardy’s capital from various locations as Milan is served by an extensive motorway network. In particular, the following motorways pass through Milan:
All around the city, moreover, there’s the Milan ring road network made up of three ring roads – West, East and North – and at 74.4 km it’s one of the most extensive in Italy.
