Parking

 

 

We suggest that when you first arrive you use one of the nearby pay public car parking areas located at Parco Rimembranze (500m walk from Apartment q|40) and Parcheggio Ostuni “Al Giardino” (450m). Both are shown on the plan below (the Parco is the park area with the blue outline and Al Giardino is the solid blue rectangle). Apartment q|40 is shown by a red dot and the arrows.

 

We are happy to show you around the nearby parking once you have checked in.

 

 

Blue areas shown on the map are the pay parking spots. The green areas are free public on street parking spaces available on a first come first serve basis.

 

These are for the pay parking around the park. Payment is only for part of the day. You need the car registration (licence) number to input so a tip is to keep a photo of it on your phone if you hire a car. The Al Giardino car park operates on a similar basis. The rates specified are from 2021.

 

The on-street free car parking areas are shown in green on the map reproduced above. Whether any are free depends on the time of the day, the day of the week and the time of year. However we usually always find one either along Via Giordano Bruno or Via Ludovico Pepe or opposite the Paragon 700 hotel. Our last resort is around Piazzale Domenico Colucci, the small green square shown on the map reproduced above.
