Finding parking near Zytglogge, Bern
Parking near Zytglogge in Bern is centred on blue-zone street spaces and 24-hour city car parks, while the Old Town setting makes driving directly to the tower impractical. Mobypark lets drivers compare and pre-book an available parking option for Zytglogge, including private spaces that owners do not actively use.
Book private parking near Zytglogge with Mobypark
Mobypark offers bookable private parking for drivers visiting Zytglogge. Available spaces can include hotel parking, office-building spaces, private driveways and unused garage spaces. Enter your arrival and departure times to compare the available option before setting off, which is useful when a time-limited street bay or a full car park would disrupt your plans.
Street parking around Zytglogge: blue zones and paid bays
Much of the short-stay parking around Bern Old Town is regulated by blue zones. With a correctly set parking disc, you can park for one hour free of charge from Monday to Saturday between 08:00 and 19:00. Set the disc to the next half or full hour after your actual arrival; moving it forward without moving the car is not allowed.
Between 19:00 and 07:59, a disc is not needed if the car is removed before 08:00. If it will remain after 08:00, set the disc to the 08:00 mark, allowing parking until 09:00. Visitor cards cost CHF 9 for four hours or CHF 16 for 24 hours in appropriately signed disc zones, but they do not apply to fee-paying bays. White-zone parking can cost CHF 3 per hour. For a paid stay that needs more certainty than a time-limited bay, comparing a bookable Mobypark space before departure can be a practical alternative.
Public car parks for Zytglogge and their rates
Public car parks provide a more predictable option for a longer visit. Metro Parking and Rathaus Parking are open 24 hours, and Casinoparking is also open around the clock.
| Car park | Location and access | Useful tariff information |
|---|---|---|

Rathaus Parking is at the edge of the Old Town, while Metro Parking is a useful city-centre alternative. If you prefer to arrive with a planned paid space rather than rely on availability at the barrier, compare Mobypark parking for Zytglogge before travelling.
Overnight and long-stay parking near Zytglogge
For an overnight visit, a 24-hour car park avoids the morning blue-zone restriction. Rathaus Parking has a CHF 33 daily maximum and Metro Parking has a CHF 40 maximum for 24 hours. A 24-hour visitor card costs CHF 16 where visitor-card parking is permitted, but it cannot be used in fee-paying bays.
Pre-booking a private space through Mobypark gives drivers another option for an overnight or extended stay near Zytglogge, with the booking time and access instructions confirmed before arrival.
Parking rules and fines in Bern Old Town
Check the road signs, bay markings and parking disc requirement before leaving the car. In a blue zone, forgetting the disc or exceeding the permitted time can result in a CHF 40 fine for up to two hours, CHF 60 for up to four hours or CHF 100 for up to ten hours. More than ten hours can lead to formal proceedings.
Ignoring a no-parking sign or yellow parking markings can attract the same CHF 40, CHF 60 or CHF 100 stepped fines. Parking within five metres of a pedestrian crossing can cost CHF 120. A lost ticket at Rathaus Parking carries a CHF 50 replacement charge.
