Where to park in Vietri sul Mare: parking guide
Where to park in Vietri sul Mare is one of the first things to organize if you want to visit the village by car, especially in the summer months.
Vietri is one of the gates of the Amalfi Coast and you can easily reach from Salerno, but during times of greater affluence find place can become more complicated.
In addition, one must distinguish between those who want to visit the old town and those who come to Vietri mainly to spend a day at the sea.
In this guide you will find the main areas to park, the available rates and some practical tips to choose the best solution for your itinerary.
Park in Vietri sul Mare: what to know before arriving
Before choosing the parking place you should consider where you want to spend the day.
Vietri sul Mare can be ideally divided between:
- Vietri capital, where the old town and the main ceramic workshops are located;
- Marina di Vietri, where the beaches and the promenade are located.
The same local association that publishes the information on the parking spaces in fact distinguishes the areas of the capital from those of Marina di Vietri.
If you want to visit the center, then it doesn't make much sense to look for parking near the beach.
If you want to spend the day at the sea, it is more practical to bet directly on Marina di Vietri.
Where to park in Vietri sul Mare centro
Several parking areas are available for a fee.
Among the main are:
- Piazza Matteotti
- Parking of the railway station
- Square Market
- Via Cristoforo Colombo
The Pro Loco di Vietri also indicates Piazza Matteotti, Piazza Mercato and the railway station between the main parking areas of the capital.
Parking Piazza Matteotti
Piazza Matteotti is one of the most interesting solutions if you want to reach the historic centre.
According to the rates currently published, the stop costs €3 for the first hour and €1.50 per half hour or next fraction, with free stop in the night band indicated.
It is a convenient solution for those who want to visit the center, but in high season availability can be limited.
Council: if you arrive in the most crowded periods, avoid waiting for the central hours of the day.
Parking of the railway station
The station parking is particularly interesting for those who want to leave the car and then reach the center.
The area has about 150 parking spaces and local information are currently showing a rate of €2 per hour, with the possibility of daily tariff of €20.
Another advantage is the location of the station: a free lift allows you to reach the area of Piazza Matteotti and the old town.
For a visit of several hours it can therefore be one of the alternatives to take seriously into consideration.
Parking Market Square
Piazza Mercato is another stop in the capital.
The updated information published by Vivere Vietri currently indicates €2 per hour and €20 per day rate.
As with other parking spaces in the center, availability can become more problematic in the days of greater affluence.
Where to park in Marina di Vietri
If your goal is to reach the beaches of Vietri sul Mare, it is more practical to focus on the rest areas of Marina di Vietri.
The Pro Loco indicates several areas with a parkometer, including:
- Bagnara Square;
- area of the sports field;
- area of Piazza Attilio Della Porta;
- Via Cristoforo Colombo;
- some areas along the Bonea River;
- market area;
- sports field.
The choice depends mainly on the beach you want to reach.

Parking of the sports field
Parking in the sports field is one of the alternatives to consider when you want to spend the day in Marina di Vietri.
The published rates indicate that parking is available from 1 April to 31 October, with €2 per hour on weekdays and €2.50 on public holidays.
It is therefore particularly interesting during the bathing season.

For Marina di Vietri, however, the blue stripes arrive in summer months €2.50/hour weekdays and €3/hour on weekends and holidays.
Important: rates can be changed. Before parking, always check the signs and the parkometer.
Can you park for free in Vietri sul Mare?
This is a frequent question, but I would not rely on the possibility to easily find a free place.
In high season availability can be very limited and some areas are reserved for residents. The Pro Loco, for example, reports specific areas of Marina di Vietri as reserved for residents.
The advice is simple:
if you come to Vietri in summer, consider the parking fee as part of the cost of the day.
It is much better to spend some euros than to lose an hour to look for place.
You coming to Vietri by train?
If you are planning a trip to the Amalfi Coast and expect to visit more locations, having a car can offer you more freedom in travel.
Before departure you can 🔗 compare the car rental deals and choose the best solution for your route.
Do you want to get to Vietri sul Mare by car?
Depends on the type of travel.
The car is interesting if you want to independently visit different locations of the Coast, especially if your itinerary includes Vietri, Cetara, Maiori, Amalfi or Ravello.
If you want to visit only Vietri, especially in high season, it can be easier to get there by public transport.
