ZTL MapNaples ZTL: Zones, Hours and What Visitors Can Do
By Josep Mampel Marques, updated
Naples does not have one ZTL but several, each with its own hours: according to Autovia, which says it follows the Comune di Napoli's pages as consulted on 1 October 2026, the Centro Antico gates run from 09:00 to 17:00, Tarsia-Pignasecca-Dante from 09:00 to 18:00 and Belledonne-Martiri-Poerio from 19:00 to 07:00. The same guide says tourism is not among the reasons for which the city issues temporary permits. ZTL Map does not cover Naples yet, so we give the reported hours with their source and no checker.
The zones and their reported hours
These are the hours Autovia reports from the Comune's pages. We have not been able to read the Comune's own pages, and other guides give different times, so treat the table as a starting point and read the sign at each gate.
| Zone | Hours reported (Italian time) |
|---|---|
| Centro Antico, gates in via Miroballo, via Duomo and via Santa Sofia | 09:00 to 17:00 every day |
| Centro Antico, via del Sole gate, and the Mezzocannone ZTL | Monday to Thursday 09:00 to 22:00; Friday to Sunday, holidays and the day before 09:00 to 24:00, continuing to 02:00 the next day |
| Piazza del Gesù pedestrian area | All day, every day, authorised vehicles only |
| Tarsia, Pignasecca, Dante | 09:00 to 18:00 every day |
| Belledonne, Martiri, Poerio | 19:00 to 07:00 every day |
| Morelli, Filangieri, Mille (Chiaia) | 8 December to 6 January, Saturdays, Sundays, holidays and the day before: 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 20:00 according to Autovia; a separate Comune page for ZTL Chiaia reportedly says Saturdays 10:00 to 13:30 and 16:00 to 22:00 |
The Chiaia row shows the problem: even Autovia says it does not know which of two figures prevails. Where sources disagree we use the most restrictive reading, so for Chiaia assume the longer evening window until you see the sign.
There are also smaller rules that matter for specific trips. Autovia lists a ZTL on via Ferdinando Russo (Posillipo) from 10 July 2026, with daily hours from 08:00 to 19:00 in July and August, a seasonal closure at Marechiaro from 16 May to 27 September 2026, a Vomero ban for private cars on nine streets from Monday to Saturday between 16:00 and 20:00, and 24 hour restrictions at Borgo Marinari. Some of these are seasonal or temporary, so they may have changed since.
What a tourist can actually do
Autovia's reading of the Comune's rules is blunt. Tourism is not a recognised reason for a temporary permit; the reasons listed are things like moves, building maintenance, medical visits for people with mobility problems and loading for authorised events. The only category it sees for a visitor in a rental car is hotel and parking garage clients in the Centro Antico, and it says the Comune's page does not explain how to obtain that entry. Its advice is to ask the hotel before you arrive.
Permits are now requested digitally on the city's Smartmobility platform since 24 April 2026, according to Autovia. For via Ferdinando Russo, hotels must register the plate on that platform themselves, for as long as places remain.
In practice: if your hotel is inside a ZTL, send the plate as soon as you have the car and ask what it needs and by when. The hotel page has the general picture: hotel inside the ZTL. If it is not, park outside the zone and walk or take public transport.
Navigation apps and signs
Navigation apps do not guarantee that they avoid a ZTL, and Naples' centre has many gates close together. Google Maps, Waze and ZTLs explains the limits. At the gate, look for the electronic panel: "ZTL attiva" means do not enter, as described in how to recognise a ZTL sign and camera.
Fines and rental cars
Autovia says the notice goes to the vehicle owner, which for a rental car is the rental company, which then passes your details to the authority so that the notice is reissued in your name. It states that the amount is the one on the notice plus notification costs and, under its own conditions, an 8 EUR fee per notified violation. Other companies charge different fees. The general process, deadlines and appeal routes are in ZTL fines with a rental car. The reported national range of 83 to 332 EUR applies to unauthorised entry under article 7 of the Highway Code; Naples' own amount is on the notice.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a ZTL map for Naples on this site?
Not yet. Our checker covers Florence, Rome, Milan, Bologna and Lucca. We do not publish boundaries or hours for a city until we can trace them to a source.
Is the Naples ZTL active on Sundays?
According to Autovia, several Naples zones apply every day, including Sundays, and the Friday to Sunday band at the via del Sole gate runs later than on weekdays. Check the panel on the day.
Can I drive in the centre of Naples at night?
One zone, Belledonne-Martiri-Poerio, is reported to be active at night, from 19:00 to 07:00. Others are reported to extend to midnight or 02:00 on some days. Do not assume the centre is open to cars because it is late.
