If you arrive in Syracuse by car, and you are not a hotel customer or a handicapped person, there are various public car parks depending on your destination. The parking offer in the areas bordering the ZTL is however quite wide and except for the hours of greatest influx of tourists it is usually possible to find a park.
The parking offer is essentially on the road, mostly regulated by the parking meter.
The most important car park is certainly the Talete (Position of the Talete Ortigia car park in google maps for the navigator), located a 5-minute walk from the historic centre.
You pay before leaving by entering your license plate number at the automatic ticket machine (cost around €1.00/hour for cars and around €10 for 24 hours).
In the parking area there are also toilets, a bar and a bike-sharing service station. The alternative to access the ZTL is to take a magnificent walk on the most suggestive side of the Ortigia seafront from which Goethe said "one can admire the most beautiful sunsets in the world". Or it can be shortened by a few meters by cutting from Piazza Duomo.
The paid parking spaces with blue stripes are also located in various other parts of the city, such as the Post Office car park (post office parking position on google maps) and the parking area of via Nazario Sauro (Nazario Sauro parking position on google maps). If there is no automatic ticket machine, it is necessary to obtain the coupon from the tobacconist or newsagents (€ 0.80/hour or € 2.50 for the whole morning or the whole afternoon) In the historic center of Ortigia there are very few free parking spaces. Avoid the yellow pitches, reserved for residents.
