Italy · Limited-traffic zone (ZTL)

Firenze

Run by Comune di Firenze

You cannot drive here without a permit

Firenze has 8 restricted areas you may not enter without authorisation. 59 camera gates are recorded here — the fine is triggered when you cross a gate, not when you park inside.

As of 1 August 2026

There is no sticker for Italy. A ZTL is a permit zone, not an emissions zone — nothing you can buy in advance will get you in. Access is granted by the comune to residents, permit holders and (usually) guests of hotels inside the zone. If you have booked a hotel in the centre, ask them to register your plate before you arrive.

What's restricted in Firenze

Type of restrictionAreas
Limited-traffic zone (ZTL)8
Hours are not published in these datasets. Many Italian ZTLs operate only at certain times, and some only at night — but the comune does not include that in the open data, so we will not state it. Check the sign at the gate or the comune's own page before entering.

Which part of the centre, and when

Firenze's ZTL is divided into lettered sectors. Each is enforced by its own cameras, so this is the table that decides whether one wrong turn costs you one fine or several.

SectorWhen it applies
Sector ADay and night
Restricted in both the daytime and the night-time scheme — treat it as closed unless you hold a permit.
Sector BDay and night
Restricted in both the daytime and the night-time scheme — treat it as closed unless you hold a permit.
Sector FNight only
Appears only in the night-time ZTL. It is not part of the daytime scheme, but the exact hours aren't published — check the sign at the gate.
Sector GNight only
Appears only in the night-time ZTL. It is not part of the daytime scheme, but the exact hours aren't published — check the sign at the gate.
Sector ODay and night
Restricted in both the daytime and the night-time scheme — treat it as closed unless you hold a permit.
Firenze's zone is split into 5 sectors (A, B, F, G, O). Sectors are the reason a single wrong turn can cost more than one fine: crossing from one sector into another passes another camera, and each crossing is charged separately. Driving across the centre can therefore produce several fines from one journey, not one.
How to get permission

There is no national portal and nothing to order in advance. Permits are issued by Comune di Firenze, usually to residents and businesses inside the zone. Visitors normally get access one of two ways: a hotel inside the zone registering your plate for the nights you stay, or a temporary permit applied for directly with the comune. If nobody has registered your plate, assume you may not enter.

The published boundary

This is Comune di Firenze's own geometry, not our tracing of it.

Boundaries follow specific streets and the entrances are camera-controlled, so check the sign before you rely on being just outside.

The fine is triggered the moment you cross a gate — not by being inside the area, and not by parking. That distinction is expensive: where a city is split into several sectors, each sector can issue its own separate fine on a single trip. Florence is the best-known case, and it is why gates are stored as their own data here rather than treated as decoration.
