Helpful Info

• The center is a limited traffic zone and not accessible by car. Just outside the city walls, you’ll find plenty of paid parking. The closest recommended is that of Piazzale Mancini (€ 1.50 per hour or € 5 all day).
• Gradara is accessible with strollers despite the cobblestones and slight incline. However, there are some areas where you have to leave the stroller where indicated (for example to enter the Castle or the Camminamenti di Ronda).
• In the public restrooms, you’ll find diaper changing tables.
