Rome is the third-most-visited tourist destination in Europe, the seat of the Italian Government and the Roman Catholic Church.
Driving in Rome is chaotic and stressful. In the centre of Rome parking is possible but very limited and hectic so the best option to park is a car park.
Limited Traffic Area (ZTL zone Rome)
Rome has a restricted area ZTL (“Zona Traffico Limitato”) in the city center where driving at certain times of the day is authorized only to locals or to individuals destined for a hotel in the restricted zone. The ZTL-zones in Rome are controlled by video cameras and driving to restricted zones you are risking a fine (from 90-350euros).
Trastevere ZTL restricted hours (morning): Monday – Saturday from 6:30am-10amTrastevere ZTL restricted hours (night): Friday from 9:30pm-03:00am, Saturday from 9:30pm-03:00am

If you however decide to park in the streets the color of the lines on the parking spot indicates the type of parking; white is for free parking, blue is for paid parking.
For blue lines there will be a payment machine nearby. You will get some type of receipt indicating how long you can stay (the time your parking expires is usually printed on the receipt). Put this receipt in the car window so it is visible for control. If you are living in a luxury long term apartment rental in the centre of Rome and you find free parking spots with white lines you can park for free, but always check if there are any signs around that indicate for how long you can park there.
