Ostuni, famously known as the “White City,” is a mesmerizing hilltop town with winding streets and breathtaking views. Parking here can be challenging, especially during the summer months, due to its popularity and compact historical center.
Where to Park under payment:
- Parcheggio Comunale Ostuni (Santa Lucia): This is one of the most convenient and popular parking areas for visitors to Ostuni. Located 10 mins walk uphill to the historic center, it provides easy access to the town’s iconic landmarks.
- Parcheggio Ex Foro Boario: A spacious parking area located slightly farther from the center but offering plenty of availability. It’s a great choice if you don’t mind a short walk through Ostuni’s charming outskirts.
- Parcheggio Via Tenente Specchia: A smaller lot located just outside the restricted traffic zone (ZTL), offering convenient access to the old town, just 5 mins by foot.
Where to Park for free:
- Free Street Parking: Via Pietro Micca, located farther out, this street offers free parking along the roadside. While it requires a longer walk (15-20 minutes) to the center, it’s a good option for budget-conscious travelers.
Pro Tip: Plan Ahead. The parking near the historical center can fill up quickly, so arrive early, especially during the summer and on weekends.
