15 November 2026 - Eco-friendly Sunday

On 15 November, Rome will celebrate the first Eco-friendly Sunday of the 2026–2027 season – a day dedicated to reducing pollution, easing traffic and reclaiming public spaces for people, community life and sustainability.

To mark the occasion, all motor vehicles will be banned from the new Fascia Verde Limited Traffic Zone (Fascia Verde ZTL), including vehicles holding permits to enter and travel through other Limited Traffic Zones. The restriction will apply during two time slots: 7.30 am to 12.30 pm and 4.30 pm to 8.30 pm.

Some exemptions will apply. Electric and hybrid vehicles will be allowed, as will vehicles running on LPG or natural gas that meet Euro 3 emissions standards or above, Euro 6 petrol cars, Euro 2 or later four-stroke mopeds, and Euro 3 or later four-stroke motorbikes.

During this Eco-friendly Sunday, the heart of Rome will become a lively meeting place, offering entertainment and activities for everyone. From 10 am to 6 pm, Via Ottaviano and Piazza Risorgimento will host a varied programme of events across seven activity areas, with something for both adults and children.

Recently returned to the city following major urban regeneration projects, these two locations will become open-air stages, filled with music, theatre, comedy and roving performances. Clowns, stilt walkers and jugglers will be on hand to delight younger visitors, with exciting games and entertainment for the whole family.

The environment will also take centre stage, with workshops and activities focusing on ecology and recycling. These hands-on experiences will offer an enjoyable and engaging way for people of all ages to learn more about sustainability.

The aim is to make this first Eco-friendly Sunday much more than a day of traffic restrictions. It is an opportunity to rediscover Rome as a more people-friendly city, enjoy its public spaces and reflect on the importance of building a more sustainable future.
