Lucca ZTL Map: Zones A, B and C Inside the Walls

By Josep Mampel Marques, updated November 9, 2026

Lucca's ZTL covers the historic centre inside the walls, divided into zones A, B and C. We have the boundaries but not verified hours, so the checker below tells you whether a point is inside a zone and marks it "Hours not verified". Until you have read the sign at the gate, treat the ZTL as active at any hour.

What the map shows

The three zones come from OpenStreetMap, where they were drawn following the Comune di Lucca's ZTL regulation (Disciplinare) as revised on 16 April 2024, and last edited in November 2025 and April 2026. The Comune does not publish the zones as open data. There is no camera layer for Lucca.

The three zones lie inside the walls, so the useful question for a visitor is "is my hotel inside, and is the car park I want outside?" The checker answers that for any address.

Lucca ZTL hours: not verified

The OpenStreetMap zones carry no hours, and we have not yet read the hours in the Comune's Disciplinare, so we do not show any. Specialist sites publish hours for Lucca, but we only show hours we can trace to a source we have checked. The method page explains why.

Two things we can say:

• Events change the rules. The Comune issues special ZTL ordinances for big events. For Lucca Comics in 2025, for example, it issued an ordinance of 20 October 2025 with its own rules for the centre, including restrictions from 10:00 to 19:00 that also covered hotel guests' permits. If you are visiting during an event, look for that year's ordinance on the Comune's site or ask your hotel.
• The sign decides. Every gate has a sign with the hours and exemptions on a plate below it. See how to recognise a ZTL sign and camera.

Hotel inside the walls

We have not verified the procedure for hotel guests in Lucca. According to La Nazione, in December 2025 the Comune went back to its 2022 rule for hotels, under which each hotel can get daily permits up to the number of its available rooms, for a period reported as 1 January to 28 February 2026; we have not read the ordinance itself and do not know what applies after that. Ask your hotel before you arrive:

• Do you register my plate, and how far in advance do you need it?
• Can I drive to the hotel at any time, or only at certain hours?
• Where should I park after unloading?

The hotel guide compares the cities where we have found an official or press source for the procedure.

What "Hours not verified" means for you

When you check a point inside the walls, the result names the zone and says "Hours not verified". That is not a sign that the zone is off. It means we do not know, so the safe reading is that the zone may be active. Before you drive towards a gate, read the plate under the ZTL sign for the days and hours, and look for an electronic panel saying "ZTL attiva" or "ZTL non attiva".

Practical tips

• Plan to park outside the walls unless your hotel confirms in writing that it will register your plate.
• Check the address of your car park on the map. A car park just inside a gate is still inside the ZTL.
• Do not trust the sat nav to keep you out. See Google Maps, Waze and ZTLs.
• If you entered by mistake, ZTL fines with a rental car explains what happens next.
