Orio al Serio airport is next to Bergamo. The historic centre of Città Alta, between largo Colle Aperto, viale delle Mura, via San Lorenzo and via Fara, is closed to cars without authorisation every day, from 0:00 to 24:00. The gates film the plate.
Orio al Serio airport is next to Bergamo. The historic centre of Città Alta, between largo Colle Aperto, viale delle Mura, via San Lorenzo and via Fara, is closed to cars without authorisation every day, from 0:00 to 24:00. The gates film the plate.
If the day is spent in the historic centre, leave the car before the gates. They are filmed: piazza Cittadella, via Arena, via San Giacomo, via San Lorenzo, via Osmano, prato della Fara, via Boccola and porta San Lorenzo.
If you continue towards Milan, open the Milan page before the Area C gate. This guide does not restate its ticket.
The ZTL covers the historic centre between largo Colle Aperto, viale delle Mura, via San Lorenzo and via Fara. It is in force every day from 0:00 to 24:00.
A category N1 vehicle for the transport of goods, up to 3.5 tonnes, with the contrassegno, may load and unload Monday to Friday from 7:00 to 7:45, and must leave before 8:00, then from 9:00 to 11:00, and must leave before 11:15. Particular goods follow the ordinance of 29 July 2026, n. 344.
The ZTL Città Alta e Colli covers its whole zone on public holidays of the year, from 10:00 to 24:00.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday it runs from 21:00 to 1:00, from the Thursday after the switch to summer time until the Saturday before the switch to winter time. Outside that season, this evening slot does not apply.
The Colli gates are filmed too, notably at viale Vittorio Emanuele at the rotonda Conca d'Oro, via Locatelli, borgo Canale, via Astino, via Pascolo dei Tedeschi, via Fontana, via Castagneta, via Pelabrocco, via Botta, via San Benedetto and via Sant'Alessandro. The sign at the gate prevails.
This table names the cities around the airport, not the two ZTLs. Città Alta and the Colli do not share the same hours: they are in the text above.
