Italy · Limited-traffic zone (ZTL)

Milano

Run by Comune di Milano

Older vehicles are banned, and the centre is permit-only

Milano has 215 restricted areas you may not enter without authorisation, an emissions ban covering most of the city, a congestion charge for the centre.

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.

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.

How to get permission

There is no national portal and nothing to order in advance. Permits are issued by Comune di Milano, 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 Milano'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.
