• ZTL hours in the historic centre

  Florence's historic centre is a ZTL split into sectors A, B, O, F and G. In A, B and O it is active all year on working days: Mon–Fri 7:30–20:00, Sat 7:30–16:00. Electronic gates automatically record the plate of every vehicle.

• Summer night ZTL in all sectors

  From the first Thursday of April to the first weekend of October the ZTL also applies at night in all sectors (A, B, O, F, G). In 2026 it ran from 2 April to 3 October, Thu, Fri and Sat from 23:00 to 3:00; hours are set each year.

• Bus and emergency gates: closed 24 hours

  Some electronic gates guard routes reserved for public transport and emergency vehicles: these are forbidden 24 hours a day, even when the ZTL is off. So watch out for reserved lanes in the evening and on holidays too.

• Hotels and car-hire offices in the ZTL

  Hotels (for guests) and car-hire offices (for cars returned to them) located in the ZTL can put your plate on the city's white list; entries in the 3 hours before registration are then authorised, along the shortest route. Give your plate on arrival.

• Electric cars need prior authorisation

  Fully electric cars (not hybrids) may drive and park in all ZTL areas only with prior authorisation; free registration for the period of your stay can be requested online, and the permit must be displayed on the dashboard.

  Firenze Parcheggi, which runs 14 car parks with over 6,000 spaces, including those at Santa Maria Novella station and Fortezza Fiera, states that all its car parks have entrances and exits outside the ZTL electronic gates.
