Access for cars in Ravello is strictly regulated by a ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato), or Limited Traffic Zone, which covers almost the entire historic center. For most visitors and non-residents, driving into the heart of Ravello is prohibited 24 hours a day, except for a brief window (usually between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM) for deliveries. If you are staying at a hotel located within the ZTL, you must provide your license plate number to the hotel staff in advance so they can register your vehicle with the local police to avoid heavy automated fines. There are designated parking areas on the outskirts of the town, such as the Piazza Fontana parking or the Cathedral parking, where visitors can leave their cars before walking into the pedestrianized zones. This restriction is essential for preserving the narrow, ancient streets and the peaceful atmosphere that Ravello is famous for, ensuring that the town remains a quiet sanctuary overlooking the Amalfi Coast.
