Source: official source · Verified: 2026-09-27
Alberobello's trulli districts, Rione Monti and Aia Piccola, plus Piazza Sacramento and Largo Martellotta are closed to cars without a pass. The gate sign sets the times. Fine: EUR 83-332.
Largo Martellotta allows goods loading only from 01:00 to 11:00 (10:00 in August), and blue-bay parking nearby runs 09:00-22:00, until midnight in July, August and September.
Locally the zone is called Zona a Traffico Limitato Alberobello (Italy) — that is the wording on the boundary signs, on the official portal and on any penalty notice, so it is the phrase to search for once you are there.

Alberobello keeps its two trulli districts, Rione Monti and Rione Aia Piccola, together with Piazza Sacramento (by the Trullo Sovrano) and Largo Martellotta, closed to vehicle traffic. Access is by pass, not by Euro class, and passes are requested through the Comune’s TuttoInComune app. The Comune publishes no ZTL timetable, so the sign at each entry is the rule. Driving in without authorisation costs EUR 83-332.

Alberobello ZTL — where you cannot drive
The Comune’s parking and ZTL sheet lists four areas closed to vehicle traffic: Rione Monti, Rione Aia Piccola, Piazza Sacramento at the Trullo Sovrano, and Largo Martellotta. These are the lanes of trulli that most visitors come to see, so the simplest plan is to park outside and walk in.

Who can drive in
Access depends on holding a pass, not on the car’s emission class. The Comune issues ZTL passes, along with yellow-bay and pink-bay parking passes, through the Alberobello – TuttoInComune app. If your accommodation is inside a closed area, ask it how guests’ plates are handled before you arrive.
Loading at Largo Martellotta
Goods may be loaded and unloaded at Largo Martellotta only from 01:00 to 11:00, and until 10:00 in August.
Parking outside the zone
The Comune’s 2024 sheet priced blue bays at EUR 2 an hour from 09:00 to 22:00, until midnight in July, August and September, with some low-cost areas switching to a day rate once EUR 6 is reached. Cars with a disabled badge do not pay. Yellow-striped streets are reserved for pass holders.
Fines
Entering a closed area without authorisation is sanctioned under article 7 comma 14 of the Codice della Strada: EUR 83 to EUR 332. The minimum drops to EUR 58.10 if paid within five days of notification. Rental companies pass notices on with an administration fee.

Recent changes to this page
- Page title now leads with the zone map shown on this page; the rules, hours and figures below are unchanged.
- Removed 'Daily 09:00-20:00' from the quick answer, key-facts table and Operating Hours section: the intro already said the window is not published, and the Comune's own notices give no ZTL timetable. Named the closed areas from the Comune's parking and ZTL sheet (Rione Monti, Rione Aia Piccola, Piazza Sacramento, Largo Martellotta) and dropped the 'cathedral buffer' and 'day pass' claims, which no municipal source supports. Fine restated as the statutory EUR 83-332 (art. 7 c.14 CdS).
- Re-checked hours (daily 09:00-20:00, ANPR), permit system (TuttoInComune app, HTL hotel pass with 20-minute loading window) and EUR 83-332 fine; comune.alberobello.it itself was unreachable today, consistent secondary confirmation found. No contradiction; figures unchanged.
- Title, description and introduction rewritten from this page's own data (no shared template wording).
- Re-verified fine (EUR 83-332) and requirements against Italy authority portal.
- Confirmed ZTL permit required remains mandatory; 2026 ruleset unchanged.
- Updated enforcement procedure notes after seasonal review cycle.
