Assisi's medieval centre is car-free, with parking concentrated at four municipal lots circling the historic walls. Saba Porta Nuova at 1.40 euros / hour is the closest to the Basilica di San Francesco; Piazza Matteotti is the cheapest paid lot with elevator access. Free parking exists at Santa Maria degli Angeli (8 minutes by bus to Assisi). This 2026 guide pulls live rates from the Comune di Assisi and Saba.
The historic city is essentially a giant ZTL/pedestrian zone. All car parking happens at perimeter lots labelled with letters: Lot A (Porta Nuova), Lot B (Matteotti), Lot C (Mojano), Lot D (Giovanni Paolo II).
