ZTL access rules for Milano — who can enter

Milano ha DUE zone sovrapposte: Area B (LEZ basata su Euro-class, 24/7, vieta diesel Euro 5 e inferiori) e Area C (Cerchia dei Bastioni, congestion charge €5/giorno, lun-ven 7:30-19:30, ven 7:30-18:00). Residenti Area C: 40 ingressi gratuiti/anno.
Non-residents who need legitimate ZTL access (hotel guests, deliveries, weddings) must apply for a temporary permit (autorizzazione temporanea) with the comune online before entering. Hotels can request permits for guests; commercial activities can register their vehicle plate for delivery hours. Foreign-registered vehicles work the same — ANPR cameras read all EU plates.
