Parking in Downtown Madison
There are a very limited number of short term parking stalls (an hour or less) on the Capitol Square. Visitors parking on the square should be certain that they are NOT parking in a reserved stall; violators will be ticketed. Stall holders who have unauthorized vehicles in them, should contact the Capitol Police directly at (608) 267-8797.
For most visitors one of the city operated ramps in the downtown area is the best option. The first link is a google map of downtown Madison, the second image is the parking layout on the Capitol square provided by the Wisconsin Capitol Police, and the final is a breakdown of the various permit stall numbers for Legislators.
