Salerno is the gateway to the Amalfi Coast and a major cruise port – parking spikes hard from June to September when ferries to Capri and the Amalfi villages depart from here. Plan ahead: blue zones cost 1.20 euros / hour, central garages 18-25 euros / day, and the free seafront strip near Stadio Arechi handles overflow. This 2026 guide pulls live rates from Salerno Mobilità and Parclick.
