I am driving from Germany for a 4-day stay in Vernazza in June and am having difficulty understanding which parking lots in Levanto can be used for multi-day parking.
What is the best place to park in Levanto if I want to leave my car there for 4 days while in Vernazza?
This website is not helpful.
We parked in Monterossa, there is a big lot right by the sea at the end of the road.
Very convienent, safe and impossible to miss, plus not overly expensive - we stayed three nights.
Although it could fill up, if you arrive early morning or late in the afternoon there were plenty of open spaces.
Enjoy the trip!
Rick's Italy book says, "For long-term parking, try the lots at Piazza Mazzini or behind the Tourist Info (18 euros/day)." On the map you attached (which you can open and expand) it looks like lots 9 and 9a on the waterfront are fair game, but not lot 11 (for residents). Closer to the train station, P 3 and 4 also look like long-term parking options.
My host in the Cinque Terre wound up recommending against parking in Levanto, particularly because I was arriving in the afternoon on a Friday. According to my host, Levanto gets packed with Italian weekend vacationers on Friday and parking spots are difficult to find. My host's alternative recommendation was great! After dropping my family and bags at the train station in La Spezia, I drove to a FREE nearby parking lot and walked 10 minutes back to the train station. I repeated the process in reverse when leaving the Cinque Terre. Here's the address of the FREE parking lot, and a link to Google Map directions. Also, the covered parking under the train station was FULL at 3pm Friday afternoon.
