In Arezzo you leave the car outside the old town, because the area inside the walls is a ZTL, a limited traffic zone. For a day in the city I suggest four car parks: Pietri and Tarlati, partly or entirely free, and the Baldaccio and Mecenate multi-storeys, €3 for the whole day. Times, prices and walking minutes come from ATAM, the company that runs the car parks, and from Discover Arezzo, and were checked in September 2026.
ZTL hours
The limited traffic zone has two areas. In zone A you may not drive or park on weekdays from 8:30 to 12:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00. In zone B the ban applies every day from 8:00 to midnight. These hours come from the Discover Arezzo parking and mobility page, which links to the map of the camera gates as well.
The full rules, including residents’ permits and temporary access for non-residents, are in the ZTL section of the Comune di Arezzo website (Italian only). If you’re staying at a hotel inside the walls, ask them before you travel how car access works.
Car parks with free spaces
The Via Pietri car park has 225 paid spaces and 200 free ones. The paid part costs €0.70 an hour or €5 a day, from 8:00 to 20:00 on weekdays and on the first Sunday of the month. The escalators (Italian only) up to Piazza della Libertà start here, and with them you’re in the centre in 8 to 10 minutes. They run from 6:00 until midnight in April, May and October, until 1:00 from June to September and until 22:00 from November to March.
The Via Guido Tarlati car park has 230 free spaces and takes campervans as well. Walking into the centre takes 12 to 14 minutes.
Prices side by side
| Car park | Address | Spaces | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baldaccio | Via Baldaccio d’Anghiari 14 | 800 | €0.70 first hour, €3 all day |
| Mecenate | Viale Mecenate | 479 | €0.70 first hour, €3 all day |
| Pietri | Via Pietri | 225 + 200 free | €0.70 an hour, €5 a day |
| Tarlati | Via Guido Tarlati | 230 | free |
Open day and night
Baldaccio and Mecenate are open 24 hours. After the third hour you pay nothing more until midnight, as the ATAM page for the Mecenate car park (Italian only) shows. Baldaccio has a 2-metre height limit, down to 1.80 m if you enter from the town-centre side, worth remembering if you drive a van or carry bikes on the roof. From either one it is a 10 to 12-minute walk to the centre.
Another option on Viale Signorelli
If the others are full, try Eden, an open-air car park on Viale Luca Signorelli, paid from 8:30 to 20:30.
Antiques fair weekends
The Fiera Antiquaria, Arezzo’s antiques fair, fills Piazza Grande and the old town on the first Sunday of the month and the Saturday before. The next dates are 3–4 October, 31 October–1 November and 5–6 December 2026. From 14 November 2026 to 6 January 2027 there is also Arezzo Christmas City, with the Tyrolean Village market in Piazza Grande.
