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

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.
