Cultural Tip
In many Italian cities, especially historic centres, parking is regulated by ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato). Vehicles without a permit are fined, so always ask locals or staff about ZTL zones and the nearest authorised parking garages. Street‑parking meters (parcometri) are common, and they usually accept coins or a prepaid card.
