It\u2019s possible to get there by car, but\u2014especially during the busiest months\u2014it\u2019s important to familiarize yourself with the traffic rules in advance and plan for parking.

In 2026, it will be in effect from April 1 through October 25, every day from 7:30 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. the following day, and on holidays, also from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The system is monitored by four <strong>electronic checkpoints located on Via Fuorimura, Corso Italia, Via Correale, and Via San Francesco.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-block-wrapper wp-block-core-paragraph-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Access to the Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL) is restricted to authorized categories and requires a special permit issued upon request. The City also offers an <strong>online service for applying for temporary permits<\/strong> based on documented needs (e.g., disability). <\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-block-wrapper wp-block-core-paragraph-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those arriving in Sorrento by car, it is particularly important to be aware of the restricted traffic zone (ZTL) hours. During the period when the ZTL is in effect, a route that is normally permitted during the day may be subject to restrictions in the evening. The presence of an electronic checkpoint also means it\u2019s essential <strong>to pay attention to road signs<\/strong> before entering the affected road, especially if you\u2019re unfamiliar with the local traffic conditions.  <\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-block-wrapper wp-block-core-heading-wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Where to Park in Sorrento<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-block-wrapper wp-block-core-paragraph-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finding <strong>parking in downtown Sorrento<\/strong> can be challenging, especially during the tourist season. If you\u2019re visiting as a tourist, it\u2019s therefore advisable to find a parking spot before entering the downtown area, and to check for any temporary restrictions. <\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-block-wrapper wp-block-core-paragraph-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the <strong>municipal facilities<\/strong> is the Achille Lauro parking lot, located near Via Correale and directly linked to the management of the restricted traffic zone (ZTL). The City operates a dedicated service for managing the parking lot and related procedures. <\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-block-wrapper wp-block-core-paragraph-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A car is especially useful for getting to Sorrento and exploring the towns on the peninsula,<\/strong> but it isn\u2019t always the most practical way to get around downtown. Narrow streets, seasonal traffic, and limited parking make it more convenient to leave your car at a parking facility and continue on foot. <\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"wp-block-wrapper wp-block-core-paragraph-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guests staying at a hotel or other lodging facility should also <strong>ask in advance whether the facility has parking<\/strong> and what directions it provides for reaching it without violating the restricted traffic zone (ZTL) regulations.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorrento is one of the most popular destinations in Campania: its town center overlooking the Gulf of Naples, its panoramic terraces, its historic center, and its proximity to the Amalfi Coast make it a very popular base for exploring the area.
