Sirmione’s historic centre, pinned on the map above, is a 24/7 camera-enforced ZTL in which a permit decides entry, not your car’s Euro class, so even a spotless modern car is fined without one. The penalty runs from EUR 83 up to about EUR 333, the summer regime holds from 23 March to 13 October, and roughly 31 afternoons within it close the streets entirely, 14:00-19:00.
Your case: Your Euro class buys you nothing at this gate, but it decides entry to the Euro-class zones elsewhere in Italy, Milan’s Area B among them. Check what your car is rated once, then treat Sirmione purely as a permit question with your hotel.

Sirmione ZTL — Overview
The Zona a Traffico Limitato (ZTL) in Sirmione, Italy has been active since 2008. It restricts who may drive into the peninsula’s historic centre, not what their engine emits: the gate cameras check your plate against the authorisation list.
Who Can Enter?
Entry to Sirmione’s ZTL is by permit/residency, not Euro class. Residents with parking, authorised businesses, hotels and permit-holders may enter; everyone else is fined regardless of how clean their vehicle is.
Sticker & Registration
You need: ZTL permit. Cost: Day pass available.
Enforcement
Camera-enforced (ANPR), around the clock. The comune publishes the seasonal rule rather than a daily timetable: “Dal 23 marzo al 13 ottobre 2026 verrà applicata la regolamentazione estiva della ZTL” (Comune di Sirmione — ZTL). Inside that period, roughly 31 designated afternoons close the streets to everyone, about 14:00-19:00.
Fine for Non-Compliance
Driving in without a valid permit results in a fine from EUR 83 up to about EUR 333 — the art. 7 comma 14 range, since Sirmione does not publish a local amount.
Exemptions
The following vehicles are typically exempt:
- EVs
- Residents with permit
- Hotel guests (registered)
- Disabled badge
Before You Drive Into Sirmione
- Arrange the permit or day pass — your Euro class is irrelevant here, so do not waste time checking the V5.
- Check Sirmione’s municipal portal for the current seasonal regime and the pedestrianised afternoons.
- Confirm operating hours — some zones have weekend/night exceptions.
- Plan parking outside the zone if your vehicle does not comply (P+R is usually well-signed).
Recent changes to this page
- Aligned the key-facts table and body with TyreMap zone data and the Comune di Sirmione's own ZTL page: the gates run around the clock with a summer regime from 23 March to 13 October 2026, not "Daily 09:00-20:00", and the fine runs from EUR 83 to about EUR 333 rather than the EUR 83-160 the table carried. Repaired an FAQ answer that had been truncated mid-sentence ("under A", "23 Mar-13 Oc") and removed the leftover emission-standard framing from a permit zone.
- Retitled around the map that readers arrive looking for, added the pedestrianised-afternoon window to the opening answer and a single Euro-class pointer for the rest of the trip; repaired a quick answer that ended mid-word ("23 Mar-13 Oc").
- Title, description and introduction rewritten from this page's own data (no shared template wording).
- Repaired a title and description that a generator had cut off mid-word, leaving an unclosed bracket in the live SERP title.
- Page created — ZTL active since 2008, fine EUR 83-160.
