Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking on Capitol Square for Short Visits The closest official option is the limited supply of short-term parking stalls around Capitol Square. The Wisconsin Assembly Sergeant at Arms says these spaces are intended for stays of an hour or less, so they suit a quick visit rather than a full tour or event. Visitor stalls are available on North Carroll Street and East Main Street around the square (Assembly Sergeant at Arms). Parking directly beside the building is therefore most useful when the visit can be kept brief. The site is at 2 East Main Street, and the city’s State Street Capitol Garage is an alternative for longer stays. Its facility is open and enforced 24/7, including Sundays and holidays (City of Madison). ## State Street Capitol Garage and Capitol Square North Garage Two named city facilities serve longer visits near the square. State Street Capitol Garage is open and enforced 24/7, including Sundays and holidays (City of Madison). Capitol Square North Garage also operates and enforces access 24/7, including Sundays and holidays, and overnight parking is allowed (City of Madison). Capitol Square North Garage has a 7-foot-2-inch clearance (City of Madison), which is the key restriction for taller vehicles. The city’s visitor information also identifies parking garages as part of downtown Madison’s parking network (Visit Madison). The official Capitol Police information places visitor stalls on North Carroll Street and East Main Street, while the Assembly guidance limits square parking to an hour or less (Wisconsin State Capitol Police; Assembly Sergeant at Arms). Show map of Madison ## Parksy Spaces Within Reach of the Square Parksy lists two covered garage spaces in Madison, each 0.4 miles from the site and each priced at $250 a month. One is a safe and convenient parking garage, while the other is a secure covered parking garage. Two outdoor lot spaces are 6.1 miles away, with each priced at $31 a month. One is an affordable outdoor lot and the other is a prime lot with 24/7 access. The two 0.4-mile garage spaces are the nearest priced Parksy options listed for drivers who want a monthly arrangement. ## Capitol Square Limits and Downtown Pressure Drivers using the square should plan around the one-hour limit on the visitor stalls. The Assembly Sergeant at Arms describes Capitol Square parking as a very limited number of short-term stalls for an hour or less (Assembly Sergeant at Arms). Wisconsin Capitol Police identifies visitor parking on North Carroll Street and East Main Street (Wisconsin State Capitol Police). The State Street Capitol Garage is open and enforced around the clock, including Sundays and holidays, but vehicles parked there for more than 48 hours may be ticketed or towed (City of Madison). Capitol Square North Garage permits overnight parking (City of Madison). These rules make the garages more suitable than the square’s short-term stalls for an extended visit or an overnight downtown stay. ## Walking From Madison’s Downtown Transport Network The Wisconsin State Capitol is in Madison’s center, at 2 East Main Street. The place facts put the site 1 yard from Madison center, making the final approach a central-city walk rather than a transfer to a remote parking area. For drivers choosing a garage, State Street Capitol Garage and Capitol Square North Garage are both city facilities serving the Capitol Square area (City of Madison). Visit Madison notes bike racks throughout downtown, including on Capitol Square and State Street, as well as in all city parking garages (Visit Madison). That arrangement supports a short final walk or bicycle connection after parking, while the square’s one-hour stalls remain intended for brief visits.
