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.

This is the authority's data, and they haven't republished it since 2 May 2023. The boundary may still be exactly right — most don't move for years. We show the date because a rule can change without the open data changing with it — we have seen an authority announce a new charge on its own website while the matching dataset sat untouched for three years. Check Comune di Milano's own page before you travel.
There is no national sticker for Italy. A ZTL is a permission zone, not an emissions zone: there is no vignette you can buy that admits you anywhere, the way Crit'Air or the Umweltplakette does. Access is granted zone by zone by the comune — to residents, permit holders and (usually) guests of hotels inside the zone. That does not mean nothing is payable here. Milano also operates a charge zone, which you pay to enter rather than apply for. Some Italian cities are also starting to sell annual ZTL permits outright — check the comune before assuming a permit can only be granted, not bought. 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.
