There are lots of cars with a white sticker on. What's this and how do you get one? :)

Actually Geneva has some free parking spaces. If there are no signs, and the parking line is white, then you can park there free of charge. An example of such a place is the parking places near Palais Des Nations on the road going towards the US mission. You would have to be very lucky to find a vacant space there though. Going up the same road you will find a few more as you enter Pregny.

I do not know if there is a site with this information though.

I dont need a macarron, I dont have a car here... this is for a friend coming to stay the weekend. I think i`ll just go to the police station provide onde of the blue disks, or pay for a normal parking. but I think really amazing we have no info like this on the net...

Have a look at this link:

You can buy a "macaron multizone" that allows you to stay in a blue zone for a half day per card which costs CHF 10. So in total for the Saturday you would pay CHF 20. I think that parking in a blue zone on Sunday is free/you can stay all day (not 100% sure as I do not live in Geneva).



Keep in mind that officially you can not stay in the same spot the whole day. You should change spots to be 100% certain that there will not be a problem/ticket.



Details of where to buy the special ticket are shown on the PDF.



Good luck.

... beware, those little traffic-control gremlins are very active and really do check those "macarons" on daily basis.. wondering if they don't live in the cracks between pavement & sidewalk as they suddenly appear from nowhere lol

they are not much free white parking zones in the center, but if you go further they are many. also the park and ride parkings are frre on sundays, like the one at the end of the highway in bernex.

Hi all and thanks for the suggestions.. if only I had to work Sundays (only).. :)



Carpooling or some risky biking on small French roads daily to work might work. The bus.. is "meh".. it adds about 5-6 hours weekly to the travel time, at the very least ;).

yes, thanks a lot for all the reply!



in fact, these white free zones DO exist. every friend I ask knows a small street, a hidden corner that is free. But there`s no map of geneva indicating this...



Cheers, wa
