Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)

What is the ZTL?

The “limited traffic zone” is an area where access to vehicles is controlled thanks to special permits. If you decide to rent a car, remember that you will not be able to take advantage of this special permit.

The areas are marked with signs indicating the start of the ZTL and when you can or cannot enter. The ZTL are generally “active” during some pre-established time slots (more information below).

When is the ZTL active?

You cannot enter the historic center of Florence during these time slots:

  • Weekdays from 7.30 am to 8 pm
  • Saturday from 7.30 am to 4 pm

This means that, during the days of the week after 8 pm in the evening and after 4 pm on Saturday afternoon and Sunday throughout the day, the ZTL is ACCESSIBLE to everyone, and not only to those with permission. But there are exceptions to keep in mind.

EXCEPTIONS TO BE PRESENT

  1. SUMMER EXTENSION: From the first Thursday of April and until the first Sunday of October, the ZTL is active (that is, it is forbidden to enter) also on Thursday, Friday, Saturday from 11 pm to 3 am the following morning. Essentially, it means that the ZTL on Thursday and Friday is NOT active from 8 pm to 11 pm and then is reactivated from 11 pm to 3 am on the following day, and on Saturday it is NOT active from 4 pm to 11 pm and then is reactivated from 11 pm to 3 am on Sunday.
  2. PARKING: If, on the other hand, you want to park in a private garage inside the ZTL, your license plate will have to be communicated, once again, just as rental agencies have to, to the authorities and put on the list, so that you don’t receive a fine afterwards for entering the ZTL, even in case of red light. If you want to park very close to our structure, one option is Park2Go which is located just 50 meters from the Duomo.
