ZTL Map

Pisa ZTL: What We Know About Zones, Hours and Hotels

By Josep Mampel Marques, updated

Pisa's historic centre is a ZTL enforced by cameras, but the city publishes no open map of it and no official hours we could verify, so this guide has no checker yet. What we can confirm from press sources is the hotel procedure: a hotel inside the ZTL enters your plate and arrival time on the Pisamo portal within 6 hours of your entry. Until you know more, treat the centre as closed to your car at any hour.

Why there is no map of Pisa here

We only publish boundaries we can trace to an open source. For Pisa there is none:

We plan to draw the zones by hand from the city's official maps and add Pisa to the checker. Until then, look at those maps and ask your hotel.

Pisa ZTL hours: not confirmed

We have not found the hours in an official source. Secondary sources do not agree with each other: SicurAUTO's guide describes five centre zones (San Francesco, Santa Maria, Sant'Antonio, San Martino and Ponte del CEP) active every day, holidays included, for 24 hours, and a Lungarni ZTL that is only active at night in summer; another guide we read contradicts the 24 hour rule. Neither is the Comune. Until we can read the hours in an official document, our advice is simple: do not enter the centre without an authorisation, at any hour, and read the sign at each gate. How to recognise a ZTL sign and camera explains what to look for.

Hotel inside the Pisa ZTL

According to GoNews, reporting on the Comune's rules:

Pisamo is the company that manages mobility and parking for the Comune. In practice:

  1. Before you arrive, confirm that the hotel is inside the ZTL and that it registers plates.
  2. Send your plate as soon as you collect the car. A rental plate is not known before pick-up.
  3. Tell the hotel the time you drove in, and check at the desk that they have entered it. Six hours is the hotel's deadline, not yours to forget about.

Other cities use different deadlines: 48 hours in Siena under its 2018 regulation, and no stated deadline in Bologna. See hotel inside a ZTL for the comparison.

Parking outside the ZTL

If your hotel is outside the ZTL, or does not register plates, park outside and walk or take public transport. We have not checked individual car parks against the ZTL boundary, so we do not list any yet. When you choose one, check that its entrance is outside every gate on your route, not just that the car park itself is outside.

Fines

Entering a ZTL without authorisation is fined under article 7 of the Italian Highway Code. The amount most often cited is 83 to 332 EUR plus notification costs, with a 30% reduction if paid within 5 days of the notification. With a rental car, the fine arrives months later through the rental company. See ZTL fines with a rental car.
