Blue Zone (Zone Bleue)

Blue zone street parking allows 1-2 hours free with a parking disc. You must display the disc showing your arrival time. Available in many residential and commercial areas.

Pay-by-Phone (EasyPark)

Most paid street parking in Geneva supports EasyPark and ParkingPay apps. No coins needed. You can also extend your session remotely from your phone.

Evening & Weekend Discounts

Many underground garages offer reduced evening rates after 18:00 and flat-rate weekend pricing. Always check the tariff board at the entrance before parking.

Fines and Enforcement

Geneva parking enforcement is strict. Fines start at CHF 40 for minor violations and can exceed CHF 100. Towing is common in no-parking zones, especially in the city centre.

EV Charging Points

Geneva has over 200 public EV charging points. Many underground garages include Level 2 chargers. P+R Bachet and P+R Etoile both have charging infrastructure.

Residents Parking

Geneva residents can apply for a residential parking permit (macarons) for on-street parking in their zone. Monthly cost is significantly cheaper than public garages.

Geneva Airport Parking

Flying from Geneva? The airport has multiple parking zones. Short-stay P2 is closest to arrivals/departures. Long-stay P5 is budget-friendly for multi-day trips. Shuttles run regularly.

This guide saved me so much time. I used the P+R Bachet on my visit and it was incredibly convenient. CHF 3 for the day and the tram took me right to the city centre in 15 minutes.

Helpful guide for navigating Geneva parking. Airport P5 long-stay saved us a lot on a week-long trip. Would have been nice to have a booking link but the directions were clear.

Very comprehensive. The blue zone explanation was exactly what I needed. Street parking near Old Town is possible if you know where to look.
