Florence ZTL hours: when the gates are active

The ZTL of Florence has a daytime schedule all year and a night schedule in summer. Outside these times the gates are not active, but the rules and the dates can change, so always check the official page before you travel.

Book a spaceGarages

No need to give us your number plate in advance. The ZTL permit is issued at the garage when you arrive.

Booking takes place on our main website, cityparkingfirenze.it (form in English).

Daytime ZTL

The daytime ZTL covers sectors A, B and O of the historic centre. It is active:

Summer night ZTL

In the warm months the Comune also runs a night ZTL. It is usually active on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 23:00 to 3:00, roughly from April to October.

The dates change every year: the Comune sets them each season. In 2026 the night ZTL ran from 2 April to 4 October. Do not rely on last year’s dates: check the official page of the S.A.S. (the service that manages the ZTL) before your trip: official ZTL page.

How you know a gate is active

Gates are watched by cameras. A sign at the gate shows “varco attivo” when it is active. Every passage under an active gate without authorisation can generate a separate fine, even when you drive in by mistake and turn around.

Arriving outside the active hours

It can be tempting to drive in on a Sunday or in the evening when the gate is not active. It is a risk if you misread the day or the time, and the night ZTL on summer weekends catches many visitors. Using the garage registration is simpler: our staff register your plate on the City of Florence portal when you arrive, so the drive to the garage is covered whatever the time.

The registration covers the drive in up to 3 hours before the start of your stay, with a minimum stay of 1 hour. It does not cover bus and taxi lanes or pedestrian areas.

You do not need to send us the plate in advance. This is practical with a rental car: you only know the plate when you collect it.

Garage opening hours

The garage must be open when you arrive. City Parking Fiesolana is open every day 7:00–23:30; City Parking Via Venezia Monday to Saturday 7:00–21:00 and Sunday 8:00–21:00; Garage Firenze Borgo Pinti Monday 8:00–14:00 and Tuesday to Friday 8:00–20:00, closed on Saturday and Sunday.

If you are fined anyway, see what to do about a ZTL fine with a rental car. To understand the whole system, read the ZTL guide for rental cars and foreign plates.
