Where to Park in San Marino? Here’s the Complete Parking List
As a major tourist destination, San Marino strives not to disappoint any of its guests, especially when it comes to parking!
Whether you arrive in San Marino by car, motorcycle, or camper van, you’ll certainly find a parking spot.
Although there are many available parking lots (from P1 to P13), here we’ll list the most practical and “smart” options.
P1 and P1 bus
Located on Via Piana, along the walls of Porta San Francesco. Recommended for motorcycles, not recommended for cars: spaces are limited and it’s difficult to wait for one to become available.
For buses, they can park at P1 Bus, which is served by a glass elevator with direct access to the Historic Center.
Coordinates: P1 San Marino: Lat. 43.936392 Long. 12.445551
P2 and P2 bus
Near the entrance of Porta del Paese, in Piazzale Giangi, you’ll find the P2 parking lots (also known as “horse parking” due to the statue in the center of the roundabout).
Like P1, not recommended for cars.
Coordinates P2: Lat. 43.933062 Long. 12.448415
P3
P3 is an interesting option, located at the end of Viale J.F. Kennedy, near the Gendarmerie Command and the State TV headquarters. There are many parking spaces, and you can access the Center either through a nice walk to the Towers or via the road (more recommended if you have a stroller).
Coordinates P3: Long. 43.928368 Lat. 12.451854
P4
We’re getting closer to San Marino’s Historic Center and the best parking lots. On Viale Antonio Onofri, you can find several linear parking spaces – it can be a good option.
Coordinates P4: Lat. 43.933699 Long. 12.448973
P5
At the intersection of Viale Antonio Onofri and Via F. Maccioni, there’s parking lot number 5, with very few spaces, two of which are reserved for disabled persons.
Coordinates P5: Lat. 43.934474 Long. 12.448314
P6
Piazzale della Cava Antica offers numerous parking spaces just a few meters from the Historic Center walls. One of the most recommended parking lots if you want to have your car “nearby.”
Coordinates P6: Lat. 43.934704 Long. 12.448989
P7
Very close to P6 is P7, in the area called Cava degli Umbri, with more than a hundred parking spaces. Like P6, highly recommended!
Next to P7, there’s a parking area for motorcycles and scooters with plenty of spaces.
Coordinates P7: Lat. 43.933037 Long. 12.44995
P8
About halfway up Via Piana, you’ll find parking lot number 8. It doesn’t have many spaces, but via a staircase, you’ll reach the Historic Center directly.
Coordinates P8: Lat. 43.937062 Long. 12.444897
P9
San Marino also has a multi-story parking garage, known as “parcheggione,” with two different accesses: the first on Via Napoleone Bonaparte (entrance to floor 1) and the second on Via Gino Giacomini (entrance floor 9).
Don’t worry – the entire parking structure is served by interconnected elevators that will take you to the entrance of Porta San Francesco in just a few steps.
Highly recommended solution for those with strollers!

P10
On Via Napoleone Bonaparte, you’ll also find P10, which is opposite the entrance to P9. You can still access the free elevators to reach the wall area.
P10 is the closest camper van parking to the Historic Center.
Coordinates P10: Lat. 43.935329 Long.12.444175
P11
In Borgo Maggiore, before the final climb to Mount Titan, there’s the Cable Car parking lot in Piazzale Campo della Fiera, ideal for continuing the ascent with the San Marino Cable Car.
Coordinates P11: Lat. 43.940312 Long. 12.445946
P12
On days with higher visitor numbers, you might be directed to P12, on Viale Campo dei Giudei. This parking lot isn’t very close to San Marino’s Historic Center, but free shuttle services for tourists are usually provided.
P13
For camper van enthusiasts choosing to stay in San Marino, the spacious parking area in the Baldasserona zone is also available.
The rest area is located 300 meters from the cable car station, accessible via a stairway through the woods.
The area is equipped with drinking water supply, grey/black water disposal, and clean restroom facilities.

Pink Ticket in San Marino Parking Lots
Did you return to your car to find a pink-colored ticket?
The amount isn’t high, usually €8, and you can pay it at the GAPS offices located on floor P9 of parking lot P9 at the beginning of Via Gino Giacomini.
If the ticket color is yellow, well, in this case, the fine was issued by the Civil Police of the Republic of San Marino, and you’ll need to pay it as indicated on the back of the ticket.
