Lucca ZTL map, hours, fines and parking outside

Inside Lucca's walls the December 2024 rules set three choices. Zone C allows a car under 3.5 tonnes, 6.50 m by 2.20 m, at 30 km/h, with paid parking in the blue bays. Zone B opens only with a permit, and only in the yellow bays. Zone A bans access and parking except with a permit, and authorised vehicles go at walking pace: pedestrians have priority.

    A route that avoids the zone

    Amanda warns you before the zone and guides you to your arrival.

    Outline from open data, for guidance only. The signs on site always prevail.

    01

    Three zones, three choices

    The December 2024 rules split the walled centre. In C, a car within the weight, size and 30 km/h limits may use a paid blue bay. In B, a permit is required and the bay is yellow. In A, access and parking are always banned without a permit.

    A permit for B or C does not open A. Authorised vehicles in A go at walking pace, and pedestrians have priority.

    Zone AAlways banned except permit holders; walking pace
    Zone BPermit holders only; yellow bays only
    Zone COpen to cars up to 3.5 t, 6.50 m long, 2.20 m wide, at 30 km/h
    Parking in zone CPaid blue bays, open to everyone
    02

    A visit without a permit: zone C

    That is the choice for a car without a permit: stay in zone C, under 3.5 tonnes, 6.50 m long and 2.20 m wide, at 30 km/h, in a paid blue bay. On 8 January 2026 the city said parking in the centre's blue bays remains possible without a ZTL permit.

    Zone A adds, from 10:30 to 14:00 and from 18:00 to 21:00, a wider ban on via Fillungo, via Roma, via Beccheria, via San Paolino and the squares of the amphitheatre and San Frediano, among others.

    03

    Gates now read the exit as well

    The news of 8 January 2026 says gates read plates on the way in and on the way out. Six gates already working are named, including via del Gonfalone, Porta San Donato and corso Garibaldi. Fourteen new gates are planned, ten for exit and four for entry.

    The same text leaves the gates of the Quarquonia, Bacchettoni, via Elisa and Santa Chiara block suspended while works continue at Villa Bottini. Via delle Stallette and via San Paolino were then postponed to February. Leave A and B within 10 minutes after your allowed time ends, as the rules say.

    04

    A hotel in A or B: thirty minutes

    The rules reserve this passage for places in zone A or B. The hotel registers the plate and the arrival and departure day and time. It may do so up to 5 days, 120 hours, after you pass. You put the permit on the windscreen with the date, the time and the hotel's name.

    You take the shortest route, 30 minutes at most, with the time disc showing, for check-in and luggage. Then the car leaves A and B, or uses the hotel's private parking. Yellow bays are not allowed for this stop. The news of 8 January 2026 sets the hotel's daily permits at the number of rooms, instead of an annual stock.

    05

    The fine

    The rules send each unauthorised passage back to the highway code. The pages do not state a euro amount. The fine is sent by post.

    A plate that is not the guest's can lead the city to suspend the hotel's right to register plates. This is not a permit you ask for yourself at the gate.

    Where to park outside the walls

    Lucca Plus, the city's parking company, runs three car parks around the walls. Prices below come from its service charter.
