Last week I parked in Flinders Lane (between Russell St & Swanston St) in one of those 10 storey carpark towers.

To my horror, a three hour stay cost $43!

The next day I parked in the city at the Westin Hotel (entry off Flinders lane) and three hours was less than $20.

What is the best carpark in the Melbourne CBD? Price, size, ease of entry and exit.

I always park in this little carkpark right opposite the Gin Palace, in the alley the Gin Palace is located on. It's a tiny place, but it's very reasonable, especially compared to the rest of the city which is madness!

also there's an open air one, just opposite (and a wee bit down the alley, towards bourke street) that is our second option.

I always use the Westin Car Park on Flinders Lane. It's not overly expensive compared to the rest, but it completely depends on what time you arrive and how long you stay.
