Perugia ZTL 2026: The Centre Shuts Mornings, Not Evenings
ZTL Perugia · Italy · Active since 2012
Source: official source · Verified: 2026-09-19
Perugia's ZTL closes the historic-centre gates 00:00-13:00 on weekdays and 00:00-07:00 at weekends, while several streets are shut 24 hours. Permit holders may enter at any time; fine EUR 83-332.
Locally the zone is called ZTL Perugia (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.

Practical answers for Perugia
- When is the Perugia zone active?
- Historic-centre gates (via Fanti, via del Parione, via Bonazzi, via Baglioni, via della Sposa, via Battisti, via San Sebastiano, via Appia, via Solitaria, via Campo Battaglia) and Corso Garibaldi: access allowed 13:00-24:00 Mon-Fri and 07:00-24:00 Sat/holidays (banned 00:00-13:00 and 00:00-07:00). Via del Roscetto: access 16:00-20:00 only. Corso Bersaglieri: access 21:00-14:00 on working days, closed 00:00-24:00 on holidays. Closed 24/7: via dei Priori (via della Stella-no.82), Viale Indipendenza (via Masi-Corso Cavour), Corso Cavour (Viale Indipendenza-via XIV Settembre), via Bontempi and its internal streets, street parallel to Viale Sant'Antonio. That means there is no free window — the restriction applies on Sundays and public holidays too.
- How much does it cost to drive into Perugia?
- Varies by municipality · No sticker. Transit permits are a Telepass transponder installed in the vehicle; parking permits are paper cards on the windscreen; transit permits under 30 days are paper. Permits are issued without the holder's name but must list every plate. Get it wrong and the penalty is Codice della Strada art. 7 c.14: EUR 83-332.
- Do I need to register or buy anything first?
- Entry is controlled by permit or residency, not by your engine’s emission class — a brand-new car still needs authorisation.
- Who is exempt in Perugia?
- Electric vehicles, Residents with permit, Disabled badge holders, Emergency vehicles and Public transport. Exemptions are usually not automatic — most require registering your number plate in advance.

Perugia’s ZTL works the opposite way round to the one most visitors expect. At the historic-centre gates the Comune publishes “accesso consentito dalle 13.00 alle 24.00 / accesso vietato dalle 00.00 alle 13.00” on weekdays, and 07:00-24:00 on Saturdays and holidays (comune.perugia.it). The closed window is the morning, not the evening. Five streets — via dei Priori, Viale Indipendenza, Corso Cavour, via Bontempi and the road parallel to Viale Sant’Antonio — are shut 00:00-24:00. Access is by permit, never by Euro class.

Perugia’s ZTL — gate by gate
The city publishes its hours per entrance rather than as one city-wide window, and the differences are large enough to change your plans.
Historic-centre entrances — via Fanti, via del Parione, via Bonazzi, via Baglioni, via della Sposa, via Battisti, via San Sebastiano, via Appia, via Solitaria, via Campo Battaglia: open 13:00-24:00 Monday to Friday, 07:00-24:00 on Saturdays and holidays.
Corso Garibaldi: open 13:00-24:00 on working days, 07:00-24:00 on holidays.
Via del Roscetto: open 16:00-20:00 only, every day of the week — a four-hour window.
Corso Bersaglieri: open 21:00 to 14:00 the next day on working days; on holidays it is closed 00:00-24:00.
Closed around the clock: via dei Priori between via della Stella and no. 82 (Piazzetta Santo Stefano), Viale Indipendenza between via Masi and Corso Cavour, Corso Cavour between Viale Indipendenza and via XIV Settembre, via Bontempi and the streets inside it, and the street parallel to Viale Sant’Antonio as far as piazza del Melo. Each carries a ban on both transit and parking.
Who can enter?
- Residents of the ZTL with a valid resident permit
- Permit holders authorised by the Comune — deliveries, disabled access, hotel guests, professionals with premises inside the zone
- Everyone else, only inside the open window for the specific gate
Because access is permit-based, an electric or low-emission vehicle still needs authorisation. A clean engine alone does not let you in.
Permit & Authorisation
There is no sticker. Transit permits take the form of a Telepass transponder fitted inside the vehicle, while parking permits are paper cards displayed on the windscreen; short-term transit permits under 30 days are issued as paper cards too. Permits are issued without the holder’s name for privacy, but every plate using them must be declared. Applications go to the Ufficio Permessi ZTL of the Comune di Perugia.
Enforcement
ANPR cameras read every plate crossing a varco. The Comune’s own wording is unambiguous: outside the open hours you may enter only with a permit, and a permit holder may enter at any hour.
Fine for unauthorised entry
The Comune publishes no amount of its own, so the national provision applies: Codice della Strada art. 7 c.14: EUR 83-332. Gates crossed on the same day produce a single violation, and hire companies pass the charge on with an administrative fee.
Driving in Perugia — Quick Reference
Perugia sits on a hill, and the practical answer for a visitor is almost always the escalators rather than the ZTL.
| City centre | Metered parking available in centre |
| Park & Ride | Car parks at the foot of the hill connect to the centre by minimetrò and escalators |
Tip: If you arrive before 13:00 on a weekday, plan to park outside the gates — that is precisely when the centre is closed
| Service | Number |
|---|---|
| General emergency | 112 |
| Police | 113 |
| Ambulance | 118 |
| Fire | 115 |
Recent changes to this page
- ZTL fine wording brought up to date: since 14 December 2024 (art. 198 c.2-bis of the Codice della Strada), repeat camera entries into the same ZTL on the same day count as one violation, not one fine per gate.
- Hours corrected against the Comune di Perugia's ZTL page, which publishes them gate by gate: the historic-centre entrances are shut 00:00-13:00 on weekdays and 00:00-07:00 on Saturdays and holidays, Corso Bersaglieri is closed 14:00-21:00 on weekdays and all day on holidays, via del Roscetto opens only 16:00-20:00, and five streets carry a 24-hour ban. The previous "Mon-Fri 7:30-19:30" figure covered none of these. Fine restated as Codice della Strada art. 7 c.14, EUR 83-332, and the emission-class checkers removed.
- Title, description and introduction rewritten from this page's own data (no shared template wording).
- Corrected zone basis: Perugia's ZTL is permit/residency-based, not an emission Euro LEZ.
- Confirmed permit/authorisation remains mandatory for entry; 2026 ruleset unchanged.
- Updated enforcement procedure notes after seasonal review cycle.
