Tip: Use the search button at the top right of the map to see the address of interest within which area it belongs.

The center of Rome, delimited by ZTL BUS C, is closed to tourist coaches, except in cases of specific exceptions (authorization C). The parking areas around the ZTL BUS C have been increased. In other words, it is not necessary to pay for a permit to access Area C, as entry is not permitted. However, it is mandatory to request the permit for Area B and subsequently obtain special authorization to load/unload passengers within Area C.
