Genoa's historic centre is a 24/7 ZTL with 11 camera gates – the €83 to €332 national CdS fine applies if you enter without a permit. The smartest option is the Porto Antico car parks (Park 1 Calata Gadda, Park 2 Autosilo, Park 4 Cannoniere) at €2.00/h weekdays, €2.50/h weekends, with a €1.00/h overnight rate 20:00-02:00. For long stays, Autopark Piccapietra caps at €25/24h. The five AMT Park+Bus interchange lots (Marassi, Pegli, Dinegro Metro, etc.) offer a €6 combined day ticket = parking + AMT bus/metro/funicular – genuinely the best value. EasyPark, Telepass and myCicero are the three apps officially supported for Blu Area street parking.
The Centro Storico ZTL is one of Europe's strictest – cameras active every hour, every day of the year. Eleven varchi cover the entire UNESCO area from Piazza della Raibetta to Via Cairoli.

Several older guides mention Saba Stazione Principe / Brignole, Park Acquasola, Park Caricamento and Park Sottoripa. These were UNVERIFIED on Genova Parcheggi's official “parcheggi in struttura” page in May 2026:
The Genova Parcheggi-managed direct structures with confirmed rates are Piazza Carignano (€1.30/€1.70/€2.00 + €4.00 night flat) and Via Carducci (€1.30/€1.70/€2.00 daytime, €0.50/h motorcycles).
The airport.genova.it/en/parking page is JavaScript-rendered and our verifier could not pull primary 2026 rates. Approximate (UNVERIFIED for 2026):
Always confirm on airport.genova.it/en/parking before booking.
