# Parkito

> parkito.ch is the flagship site of Parkito, a free parking directory network operated from Switzerland. It covers two countries: Switzerland (25,515 parking locations in 2,071 cities, complete national coverage) and Germany (20,000 locations in 44 cities so far, growing in batches toward full coverage of ~113,000). Listings include prices, opening hours, capacity, height limits, payment methods and access details, in 8 languages. Parkito is informational only: it does not operate parkings and does not process bookings or payments.
