A solution for real daredevils, but practical for getting around the city and the island. A tip:

ZTL

In the city center, a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) is active. On the municipality page you can find the map of the ZTL and more practical info. Spoiler: the church where we are getting married is inside the ZTL!

When is the ZTL active?

How much is it? The daily pass costs 5.00€ (€2,50 for hybrid, CNG and LPG) and it allows you unlimited accesses to the ZTL

• Monday - Friday from 8.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m.

• Friday from 11.00 p.m. to 00.00 a.m.

• Saturday from 00.00 a.m. to 06.00 a.m. and from 11.00 p.m. to 00.00 a.m.

• Sunday from 00.00 a.m. to 06.00 a.m

Where to buy the pass? Online (quite difficult!) and in some kiosks.

I have accidentally entered the LTZ, what do I do? No panic! To avoid penalties, simply activate a day pass by the end of the day.
