Vicenza’s restricted centre is a permit-only ZTL: entry depends on a permit or an authorised category, so no Euro rating buys access. The comune says its cameras record every entry 24 hours a day; only the Corso Fogazzaro gate keeps its own timetable, closed 20:00-09:00 on weekdays and all day on public holidays. Driving in without authorisation costs EUR 83-332 under art. 7 c.14 of the Codice della Strada, counted once per zone per day.
Your case: There is no evening window to wait for here. Without a permit, park outside the ring and walk; the Italy driving guide explains how a camera ticket follows a hire car home.

How Vicenza’s ZTL works
The historic centre of Vicenza is a Zona a Traffico Limitato run under ordinance n. 3474/95 and its later amendments. Plate-reading cameras at each gate send every number to a control system that checks whether that vehicle is authorised for that specific gate. It is not an emission zone: an electric car without a permit is in the same position as a diesel without one.
Where the cameras are
Piazzale de Gasperi (Porta Castello), Via Montagna, Contra’ Pedemuro San Biagio, Corso Fogazzaro, Contra’ Porti, Contra’ Gazzolle, Contra’ Carpagnon, Stradella Santo Stefano and Contra’ San Faustino.
When they fine
Every gate except Corso Fogazzaro records entries 24 hours a day. Corso Fogazzaro is a closed gate with detection of unauthorised transits from 20:00 to 09:00 on weekdays and all day on public holidays. If a photographed vehicle is not authorised, the fine is issued automatically; the photos can be viewed and the notice paid online.
Who can enter
- Residents (pink permit), non-resident dwellers (blue) and businesses based in the zone (green), each issued by the Sportello ZTL and valid only at the gates printed on it
- Temporary permits for goods deliveries, building sites and weekly market traders, through the Polizia Locale
- Other categories listed in the ordinance, under the procedure set for each
Goods vehicles inside the ZTL are limited to 3,500 kg gross unless a permit grants an exception. If your accommodation is inside the zone, ask it before arrival how your plate is handled.
Fine
Entering without authorisation is sanctioned under art. 7 c.14 of the Codice della Strada: EUR 83-332. Since 14 December 2024, art. 198 c.2-bis counts several entries into the same zone on the same day as one violation.
