By car
Parking - Weekdays, from 8AM-5PM, meter parking is enforced. The typical cost is 15 minutes for 25¢. Parking garages are typically the same rate, $3 for up to 2 hours and then escalating beyond that. Many of the garages are run by the Harrisburg Parking Authority (http://www.harrisburgpark...). Park for $5 from 5PM-5AM at River St, Walnut St and Chestnut St garages.
By Foot Or Bike
Harrisburg is a very walkable city, especially the downtown, midtown and uptown sections which are layed out in a simple grid without much change in grade. There are many beautiful walking and biking trails that run along the Susquehanna River. You can also walk or ride your bike across the Walnut St. Bridge to City Island without worrying about safety because it is blocked off to cars.
