Girona ZBE 2026: Weekdays 07:00-20:00, and 24 Free Days
Zona de Bajas Emisiones · Spain · Active since 2025-09-15
Source: official source · Verified: 2026-09-19
Girona's ZBE works Monday to Friday, 07:00 to 20:00, and admits labels 0, ECO, C and B. A car with no label may still enter on up to 24 days a year if it is registered first.
Locally the zone is called Zona de Bajas Emisiones Girona (Spain) — 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.

Girona ZBE — Zona de Baixes Emissions
The city describes the perimeter as running “des del parc de la Devesa fins al carrer d’Emili Grahit i des del carrer del Riu Güell fins al carrer del Carme i el Barri Vell” — from the Devesa park across to Emili Grahit, and from Riu Güell to Carme and the old town. Cameras read plates at the entry points and check them against the DGT register and the municipal authorisations register.
Who Can Enter?
- DGT 0 and ECO: unrestricted
- Label C and label B: unrestricted
- No label, on the Girona vehicle register as of 2024: still admitted
- No label, from elsewhere: refused during the window, with an allowance of 24 days a year once the vehicle is entered in the municipal register
Exemptions Beyond the Labels
Girona’s regulation carves out medical transport, emergency and public-service vehicles, public and collective transport with an approved fleet-renewal programme, vehicles carrying people with reduced mobility, and drivers on low incomes — the threshold is set at twice the IPREM. Foreign-registered vehicles that meet the equivalent emission standards may also be authorised.
Sticker / Permit
The DGT environmental label costs around EUR 5 from the DGT’s electronic office, post offices or authorised inspection centres. Authorisations and day allowances are handled through the city’s own ZBE register, not through the label.
Operating Hours
Monday to Friday, 07:00 to 20:00. Outside those hours, and on weekends and public holidays, no vehicle is refused on emission grounds.
Fines
Ignoring the restrictions of a low-emission zone is a serious infringement under article 76 z3 of Spain’s traffic law. Article 80 sets the penalty at EUR 200, and article 94 halves it to EUR 100 for payment within twenty calendar days of notification.
Tips for Visitors
- Arriving after 20:00 or at a weekend removes the question entirely.
- If your car has no label and you are not staying long, register it and use the 24-day allowance rather than gambling on the cameras.
- Check the label class on your registration document before travelling; a B label is enough here, which is not true of every Spanish city.
Recent changes to this page
- Checked against the city's own ZBE pages and regulation. The body said the zone runs weekdays 07:00-21:00 while the summary said 07:00-20:00; the city states 07:00 to 20:00, Monday to Friday, with weekends and public holidays free. The start year in the key facts read 2023 against a body text giving 15 September 2025. Added the 24-day annual allowance for unlabelled vehicles, the access kept by unlabelled cars on the Girona register, the perimeter as the city describes it, the delivery-vehicle moratoria and the other exemptions. The early-payment discount period is 20 calendar days under article 94 of the traffic law, not 15.
