Cars  Area C, or Congestion charge
Milan has long begun adopting severe anti-pollution regulations.
.:. Since January 2, 2008 driving into the central districts enclosed by the ’Viali’ or ‘Bastioni’ on weekdays between 7.30am and 7.30pm has become a costly business. No ticket, however, on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
.:. The basic single-day ticket is Euro 7.5. It is paid online at the relevant website.
.:. On January 16, 2012, the rules were updated, and the involved area inside the Bastioni became Area C, where C stands for Congestion Charge. Very polluting vehicles are not allowed into the central districts at all. A special web page allows you to find out whether your vehicle pollutes too much.
.:. As a result, traffic in the central districts has appreciably decreased since 2012.


Motorbikes  Motorbikes and Scooters
Motorbikes and scooters don't need any tickets, and don't pay to enter the Area C. (Keep in mind, however, that you are not allowed to drive any Euro 0 or Euro 1 two-stroke motorbikes anywhere in Milan.)

Cars  Area B
Starting from February 25, 2019 very polluting vehicles - you can check yours here - are not allowed to enter nearly all the urban territory on weekdays between 7.30am and 7.30pm.
.:. The restriction is not enforced on Saturdays, Sunday and public holidays.
.:. The identified area is known as Area B. Our map, borrowed from the City of Milan cartographic services, shows the area, and where entry controls are operational.
.:. If you want to try entering under any special rules, you first have to register your licence plate on the City of Milan website.
.:. Area B regulations do not envolve any payments. Simply, very polluting vehicles cannot access the Area B at all.


Information  Take Note
Don't park downtown anyway, if you don't need to. The parking system is complicated, based on areas and meters. Rather, you might look for paid parking lots, which are marked (often indicating how many vacancies are left).
.:. Just in case, the phone number of the city police tow-away service is 02 77270280.
