Parking
Parking in Chiavari is not always easy, especially during the tourist season. Public and private garages are relatively limited, which is why most residents and visitors either park on the street or have access to a private garage.
Fortunately, the area around the apartment is served mainly by free parking spaces (white lines), although some paid parking areas (blue lines) are also available.
Please note that street-cleaning restrictions apply on specific days, which vary from street to street and sometimes even from one side of the same street to the other. We therefore recommend checking the road signs carefully before leaving your car.
If you cannot find a space in Vico Saline, where parking is indeed limited, we recommend looking in the following nearby areas:
- Corso Buenos Aires, the road running parallel to Vico Saline, connected by several shortcuts and pedestrian passages that provide quick access to the apartment;
- Piazza Torriglia;
- Via Tappani;
- Corso Italia;
- Corso Genova (mostly paid parking).
There is also a large parking area in Via Gio Battista Ghio (partly paid, partly free or subject to a daytime parking disc), approximately a 10-minute walk from the apartment.
If you are travelling with heavy luggage, it may be convenient to stop briefly near the building entrance (there are two driveway access points) to unload your belongings before taking your time to find a parking space in the surrounding streets.
Restricted Traffic Zones (ZTL) and the Historic Centre
The apartment is not located within a restricted traffic zone (ZTL). However, if you decide to drive into the narrower streets of the historic centre, please pay close attention to road signs indicating any access restrictions.
