    Huge parking lot with easy access to the center where you can find the tourist shops and restaurants. To go to the center you can take the stairs or take a shuttle that they have in the parking. Price was 4 eur per hour, worth it because the parking lots in the center are always full, this one is big, there is always place and not far.

    A necessity; quite expensive, run down parking structure. We drove a small rental, but large cars could have difficulty going up or down the ramps. Toilets were fine, elevators didn't work. Shuttle driver saw us running towards his half empty bus, yet instead of picking us up, he waved and smiled at us, and left us behind. In low season waits are longer than 15 mins, and it was raining as well. We were in a rush so decided to take the stairs down. When we arrived, the same driver was making fun of us with his colleagues. Again; it's that there's no alternative or I wouldn't ever come back here.

    Easy to access from the highway with a very quick and free transfer to the city. Once you leave the parking space through the main exit there is usually a bus every few minutes, and its only stop is the city stop (dont stay on expecting a second one or you'll return to the parking garage). If you want to walk there are stairs as well, but the busses are frequent, fast (5min?) and clean. Would definitely use again.

    This parking lot is recommended by locals to tourists, as it's a safe place to leave your car while enjoying Taormina in all its beauty by using public transportation or walking. Although it's not really cheap, it's nice that they offer a free shuttle bus to Taormina center every 15 min.

    It costs 13 € / day and it's the standard place to park in Taormina. There's a shuttle bus from level 0 and stairs to the city center from the top floor (245 steps to be exact :).

    Good distance directly to the city. Once you park a small bus drops you off at the city gate ✨ Good bathroom and hand washing facility. Go before 6 pm or no space will be left. Prepare small notes and 1-2€ coins to pay. Wide spots for easy parking

    This parking garage has a very tight spiral construction. You can tell by the scratches on the wall that many drivers struggled. I found it harder to drive down rather than going up. If you have a bigger car, I’d advise another car park. Parking spaces are good and price was okay. We stayed 5.5 hours and paid €10 for 7 hours as there wasn’t an option to pay for 6 hours. You can pay at the top by card upon your return. Then you just need to climb up the stairs and you’re in Taormina.

    Great spot to park your car. The way up from the entrance with your car is a fun and challenging way with your car. It's pretty narrow and you have the choice to scratch your car with a wall on one side and the stairs on the other side. Unless you know how to drive and you know your car, be prepared for a challenge. From there you can either take a shuttle all the way up or challenge yourself and take the stairs (as my kid said: climbing up a mountain). If you have strollers, I strongly recommend to use the shuttle or get the help of someone to carry everything. Price: 7hours: 15€ (so cheaper than those parkings spots you find closer to the center which were 3€/h). Would I go back there? Yes, if they keep the price

    Its a simple parking lot. Very difficult to drive up the ramps (I'm a very experienced driver) Clean, well lit, well sign posted etc very professional I would avoid if I had a bigger car than my Peugeot 208

  • 3/5 Lukas J. 4 months ago on Google
    Dont go to this parking if you have SUV or slightly bigger car. The path upwards/downwards is incredibly narrow. Go only if you are very experienced driver

  • 5/5 Thomas B. 5 months ago on Google
    Great place to park. There is a shuttle bus that drops you at the old town gate. Bus is pretty consistent and not a long wait on either end. The spiral is very skinny, I don't recommend coming here with a truck. There have always been spots to park here for me.

  • 4/5 Michał M. 6 months ago on Google
    It is good that there is such parking in Taormina, as it is very hard to reach city center by car. It is much easier to leave your car at Lumbi and get free shuttle service. Prices are pretty reasonable and it seems that this facility has enough parking spaces to face high tourist demand (our visit was in September). For sure drivers must be very careful while entering Lumbi as it is very easy to mistake car and bus gate entrances. Also access to upper levels leads through very narrow, spiral driveway.

  • 4/5 Dan S. 9 months ago on Google
    Super-efficient parking with regular 15 minute shuttle bus to the town centre above. Inexpensive and spacious but for drivers with long cars or less than excellent clutch control it might be tough to climb the spiral ramp to the upper levels without scuffing your bumpers!

  • 3/5 Emma J. 8 months ago on Google
    Small car probably OK. We have a suv (smallish) and my word it is tight going up the ramps. Good location for visiting. We took the free bus up and used the stairs down to return.€13 for 5hr I think.

  • 5/5 Tim N. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to park if you can walk the big stairs towards Taormina. Parking spots were ok.

  • 2/5 Li Ming L. 10 months ago on Google
    Convenient free shuttle to town that comes often and had no issues at all with toilets, payment machines and lifts, unlike some other posters. BUT, if you are driving an SUV or god forbid a station wagon, do not come here, unless you are an experienced rally driver. I come from Singapore where space is at a premium, and we have many tight spiral ramps, but the one here was ridiculous, especially in an SUV. There were stairs at the side just to make it even narrower. Pls make sure you have paid for the vandalism (scratches) insurance on your vehicle for your own peace of mind!

  • 4/5 Pavel S. 10 months ago on Google
    Good parking for a reasonable price if you only stay 1.5 hours otherwise the price is kinda steep. They have clean toilets, it is located near the centre. Only negative is the very narrow enterence.

  • 4/5 Caroline 2 years ago on Google
    Great easy parking, with free short shuttle just in front of the centre. As mentioned by others it is narrow, but a smal rental car fits. Clean toilets and payment with card or cash is possible. 8 euros for 5 hours in April

  • 5/5 David S. 10 months ago on Google
    Great shopping, awesome views and you can't beat the food

  • 4/5 Santiago H. 2 years ago on Google
    Good parking location with a free shuttle. Went on a Friday from 1100 until about 1400 and paid about 4 euro. Bathrooms were maintained. Only issue was the very tight curb. Drive a crossover SUV Hyundai Tucson and was worried about hitting. Scuffed my tire slightly going down so make sure you turn wide enough.

  • 5/5 DoDo 1 year ago on Google
    In extra season is cheap..we paid 2€ for 2-3h. Transport to the city center is included and it's fast. The price during the high season I found it a little too expensive, about 8€ for 1.5-3h

  • 1/5 Nikki Di G. 1 year ago on Google
    Do not go here the people are very unfriendly they told us that we could take the three of us or we could walk 200 steps it wasn’t 200 steps it was a kilometer and 200 steps!

  • 5/5 Pablo M. 1 year ago on Google
    Parking right at the entry of Taormina. There are electronic signs along the highway indicating how many free spaces are available in the parking. There is a free shuttle bus that takes you from the parking to the city center and back (it is the same bus that does only one stop for both trips). There are also bathrooms and a bar in the building. You have to pay in one of the electronic machines before leaving. We paid 9 euros for around 7 hours.

  • 4/5 Z 1 year ago on Google
    Easy to park off-season, not too expensive (6 € dor 3 hours, 7 € for 4). The ramps are very narrow so watch the car! There’s a shuttle bus that brings you to the center of Taormina in 5 minutes (included in the price).

  • 4/5 Joseph O. 1 year ago on Google
    Good parking...but need either to take the shuttle (ground floor, plus you'll need a face mask to board and ride currenty, bring your own) up to Porta Messina. Or you can walk from the top (4th parking deck) up the stairs to Taormina (about 283 steps to climb). Circular ramp to acess each parking deck is tight and narrow so proceed slowly. Ramp also has stairs so mind your tires on the stairs side so not to damage your tires or wheels. If Lumbi is try Parcheggio Porta Catania on the other side of Taormina. But chances are that may be full too. Best chance for parking is early arrival (before 6pm.)

  • 4/5 Ofir G. 1 year ago on Google
    Parking to Taormina city and the fee is 3€ per hour. There is a free bus to take you to the city (but you need a face mask), or you can climb the stairs (about 200 stairs)

  • 5/5 Valeria I. 1 year ago on Google
    The perfect parking lot when you want to visit Taormina!! It has a few floors at the entrance you take a ticket and you pay at the machine at the end we parked 4 hours and paid 6 euros You can walk 15 minutes to the center or you can take a free bus to the entrance of the center they are placed right outside on the entrance floor

👍👍 Amazing Arancini’s at a good price. The best in Sicily! We had the classic meat one and the pistachio one. Both were very good, hot and tasty. Only downside is that they make you pay for forks however the traditional way is to eat with your hands

👍👍 We had some of the best dinners in Sicilian while dining here. We ordered meat plate to start, then seafood pasta and fish of the day. Everything was delicious. Prices are higher here in Taormina when compared to nearby towns but still affordable.
